Q: I have ACH (Automatic Withdrawal) setup. Why wasn’t my payment withdrawn on the 1st of the month?
A:
ACH Payments are always withdrawn from your account between the 9th and 12th of the month that they are due. Only the assessment amount will be withdrawn. Any other outstanding fees or fines on your account will have to be submitted with a different payment option. ACH can be set up to process for the upcoming pay period, if the completed ACH form and Void check is received BEFORE the last day of the prior pay period cycle (Monthly, Quarterly, Semi-Annual or Annual).

Q: There is an additional charge on my account, what is this fee, and can I dispute it?
A:
  • Admin Fee: This fee is applied for monitoring delinquent accounts and sending out a reminder letter that dues have not been paid.
  • Late Fee: This fee is applied if your Assessment payment has not been received by the due date.
  • Fine: Fines are applied for violation issues that were not corrected in a timely manner or according to your HOA’s CC&R enforcement policy.
Disputes or appeals to these fees must be made in writing and submitted to your Community Manager. The Board of Directors of your community will review your appeal at their next Board Meeting.
