Collection Policy

(effective 4-10-02)

 

1.      Assessments may be paid in a single payment on January 1[*] or they may be paid in two equal payments on January 1 and July 1. Arbor Ridge Condominium Bylaws provide for a 10-day grace period. [Article II, Section 2] During the grace period no late fees will be assessed.

 

2.      A late fee of $25 will be assessed, each and every month, beyond the grace period of ten (10) days. Assessments not paid by the close of business on January 10th (or the last business day immediately preceding the 10th) will incur a late fee. Thereafter, each month that assessments (including all late and legal fees) are not paid in full, another $25 late fee will be assessed. If an outstanding balance of $100 or more remains for sixty (60) days, a formal collection process will be initiated and a lien warning will be mailed. A copy of the warning will be sent to the Co-owner's mortgagee, per the Bylaws.

 

3.      If full payment is not received within ninety (90) days of the original due date, a lien will be placed on the Co-owner's title. A copy of the lien will be sent to the delinquent Co-owner's mortgagee, per the Bylaws. Outstanding liens will incur an additional $100 monthly assessment, plus the maximum allowable interest rate retroactive to the first missed due date, until the lien is satisfied.

 

4.      If full payment has not been submitted within 180 days of the original due date, foreclosure proceedings on the delinquent unit will begin, per the Bylaws [Article II, Section 5].

 

5.      The Board of Directors will not consider exceptions to this policy.

 



[*] Where specific dates are mentioned, the deadline is on or before the close of business on the prior business day, if the date mentioned falls on a non-business day for the Association management.
