We got about similar service from our HOA. We pay about $63/mo.
When we first moved here, it was $25. $25 became 45 , and was $67. I guess community had enough , and we changed our HOA. Now it is $63.

I saw few improvement. Snow removal got faster, and our community recently had a outer fences stained.

only benefit really included is trash pickup in those dues.

we have no gyms, a couple very small parks with dog shit bags provided.
no rec center, no pool, no gym, no basketball courts...nada.

the only costs I see are watering, a little bit of electric, sprinkler repairs or sod repairs, snow removal in a couple common areas...not even sidewalks, and landscaping to include planting and flowers and mowing etc etc.

I mean they are pulling in like a half mil a year with everything and only spent 285K last year.

seems to me that our dues can go down buy about $10 a month with plenty of room to spare.


oh and as far as the liens go...not 1 cent has been collected on liens, so either they don't push the fact or every single person has paid their dues.

I am sick of the HOA already and barely been there for a year.

it took 6 months to get a porta-potty removed from across my street that is sitting on a bank owned vacant lot that some bankrupt developer lost out on.

this management company hasn't even been around a year from taking over the last guys who were scamming money from the HOA, and now it looks like it is happening all over again.
