For homeowners living in communities with a homeowners association (HOA) or condo association, paying annual dues is a key responsibility.
Between funding essential services and maintaining property values throughout the community, dues keep the neighborhood running smoothly.
While most HOA members dread paying said dues, ignoring them can result in several negative situations for themselves and the community.
Let’s explore why staying current on dues is so crucial and how professional HOA management companies like Proper HOA Management can help your association stay on top of payments.
What Do HOA Dues Cover?
HOA dues aren’t a sneaky payday for association managers. In fact, they’re in place to cover a wide range of expenses that benefit the overall community.
Maintaining Common Areas
A major portion of dues goes towards landscaping services like lawn mowing, tree trimming, fertilization, weed control, etc., for common grassy areas, parks, and gardens.
If your community has amenities like pools, parks, tennis courts, gyms, clubhouses, etc., dues pay for maintaining, cleaning, repairing and improving these areas.
For communities with private roads or parking lots, dues cover repaving, pothole repairs, painting lines, and other maintenance.
