The assessments have increased for 2021. All budgetary accounts are adjusted for inflation and based on historical precedent. As done every year, the Board of Directors and Management work diligently to control expenses and generate income to keep assessments as low as possible, while continuing to provide quality services and amenities to the community. While many budget line items were maintained at 2020 levels, we have a significant decrease in revenue from sources other than assessments. The Board offset a projected $100,838 budget deficit with prior year members’ equity, but an increase in assessments is necessary to meet budgeted expenses for the Association. Therefore, the Board of Directors approved a $3.00 monthly increase in the general assessment, which all homeowners pay to cover common expenses. The Board also approved a $1.00 monthly increase for town homes due to increases in the trash service contract and private road maintenance, and a $1.00 monthly increase in the courtyard homes due to increases in landscape services.
