Dues/
Membership
It all started when…
Ball Homes, Inc., Developer of North Ridge Estates, built and sold each of these 124 units. Each deed of a unit has specific language to that fact of the Homeowner Association. When Ball Homes sold the 124th unit; they turned the HOA over to the homeowners in North Ridge Estates. The HOA membership requirement does not go away when a unit changes homeownership; it passes to the new homeowner(s).
The Homeowner Association consists of 124 homeowner units. By owning a unit, the homeowner(s) are allocated a vote in matters of the HOA.
The Homeowner(s) of a Unit is responsible for paying annual dues. The HOA dues are currently at $95.00 per year.
A fee of $10.00 is assessed for late payments. If the dues are not paid, an attorney will be retained with the potential of a lien place on that unit for failure of homeowner(s) to pay dues. And HOA dues, late fees, and legal fees become the responsibility of the home owner.
The Fiscal Year runs from July 1 through June 30.
In selling of a homeowner’s unit the HOA dues are/shall be prorated at the day of closing. The seller is responsible for dues from July 1 to the closing date of that given fiscal year. The buyer is responsible for dues beginning on the closing date till June 30th of that respective fiscal year.
The HOA Board of Directors is made up of fellow homeowners. Their term of service is for 2 years. The HOA Board of Directors members are not paid for their service; nor are any sub-committees thereof.
The HOA Dues cover the following listed expenses of the Association: mowing, weed eating, and edging sidewalks of the three common areas of the Association, insurance, taxes on common areas, legal matters, and miscellaneous items.
