HOA Assessments
HOA Assessments are billed quarterly and are due the 1st day of January, April, July, and October. Generally, the association assessment consists of two parts, an amount to cover current year operations and an amount that goes into reserves. Part of the fee is designated to pay for current year operations, which typically includes things such as landscaping, pool maintenance, insurance and water. The remaining portion of the fee is placed into reserves for long-term repairs and replacements, such as paying for a new roof for the community center or future amenities. Having ample reserves ensures that the HOA has money available to pay for high-cost repairs when they come due.
