chevron_rightWhy do I have to pay assessments (HOA dues?)
To accomplish the many tasks for which it is responsible, the association must have operating funds for daily maintenance, repairs and administration, as well as adequate replacement reserve funds for major repairs or replacements for common property. In order to obtain these funds, all members within your community are required to pay assessments to the association. The Board of Directors will establish assessment rates each year and adopt the annual budget for your community. The association will notify you of the amount and due date of your specific assessment. If you do not have any information regarding the assessment, please contact Perry McLaurin, Silos Community Manager, at pmclaurin@ccmcnet.com
While we work hard to contain expenses, periodic increases in your assessment may occur to cover the rising costs of operations and maintenance of your community.Keeping in mind that assessments are the primary source of income for community associations, we encourage all members to pay them in a timely manner. Members who do not pay their assessments on time may be subject to various monetary penalties and usage restrictions. While this may seem extreme, please remember that your association can operate only if all members pay their assessments when due. That will allow your association to properly administer and maintain your community.
Your Silos Assessments are currently $725 annually ($181.25 billed quarterly.)
To learn about the ways you can pay your assessments, please visit the Assessments tab under the Resources menu on lifeatsilos.com, or by clicking here. -
