Summary
The Board of Directors at the November 4, 2025 meeting approved a 5.7% increase in the annual association membership assessment for 2026. While annual inflation is expected to be near 3%, additional funds are needed in our Capital Reserve. The 2026 assessment is $370 dollars per lot, that’s a quarterly payment of $92.50. This is an annual increase from the 2025 annual assessment by $20 per Lot.
Why is the Increase Necessary?
The increase is necessary to address inflationary increases in goods and services, as well as to provide an increased rate of funding to the Capital Reserve. If sufficient capital funds are available, we can capitalize on today’s lower oil process and perform road maintenance in the Summer of 2026, rather than in 2027.
Where does the money go?
Our three greatest expenses are Management Fees (30%) plus Administrative costs (8%), Landscaping costs (29%), and Reserve Funding (27%) respectively. Three-quarters of our annual dues are allocated to managing the business of the HOA and landscaping services for the common areas; the last quarter goes to the Reserve Fund.
