Making Payments

Below is a summary of the options offered through our Owners Portal:
Auto Draft: Auto Draft or ACH Direct Debit allows you to enter your checking/savings account information and the Association will automatically deduct your fees on the 5th of every month. If the 5th falls on a weekend or holiday, it will be scheduled on the next available business day. The draft amount will be changed automatically if there is an increase in the recurring amount. ACH Direct Debit is applicable to all monthly recurring assessments, utility and usage fees and charges (if any) imposed against the Unit by the governing documents of the Association. If you currently have a balance on your account, you must first make a one-time payment using the “One-time eCheck” or “Credit Card” options prior to signing up for Auto Draft.
One-time eCheck Payment: You can authorize the Management company to process a one-time payment using the bank account and routing number that you provide.
Recurring eCheck: You can setup a recurring payment on a monthly or quarterly basis. With recurring eChecks, you control the date that your payment is made. Note, the assessment amount will not automatically update according to the Association’s assessment amounts. If there is a change in the amount due you will need to adjust the payment.
Credit/Debit Card: These payments are processed through Paylease/Zego, a third-party processor. Paylease/Zego is integrated with your Owner’s Portal so you do not need another login. Please note, credit card transaction fees are applied for this type of payment and will appear in the total charge.
Check must be written payable to the name of your association.
Your account # must be written on the memo line of check.

Association Documents
Property owners associations derive their basic legal authority for their existence, activities, and actions from state statutes (laws) and certain legal documents:
- Articles of Incorporation
- Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions
- By-Laws
- Board Resolutions
- Rules & Regulations
- Bring the corporation into existence
- Define the basic purpose and powers of the corporation
- Indicate there will be a board of directors and may, identify the initial board
The underlying document of a property owners association, apart from state law, is the Declaration, also referred to as Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs). The Declaration is the constitutional law of the association. The Declaration defines the limits and inclusions of ownership for the owners and the association. As a legal entity the association is better prepared to pursue certain business needs, such as entering contracts, raising funds, filing liens, and collecting fees in a foreclosure.
The Declaration may contain:
- Definitions of the physical elements of the property
- The method for determining the share of interest in the common area for each property owner
- A list of the responsibilities for the association and individual owners and permitted uses of common areas and individual units
- Responsibilities for care of the association and the common areas
- Restrictions on the use or enjoyment of properties in the association and common areas
The Declaration forms the constitutional foundation of the association; Bylaws define the laws and operating procedures of the association. Bylaws detail the framework for governing the association that is authorized in the Declaration. They address the association’s structure, the board, the officers, definition of a quorum, ability to enter into contracts, etc. Bylaws provide reliable guidance for board members at meetings in addition to:
- Requirements of membership meetings
- Voting rights of property owners
- Procedures for electing the board of directors
- Procedures for the board of directors to elect officers
- General powers and duties of the board
Board Resolutions are formal policies, procedures and decisions that are adopted and approved by the Board of Directors. Rules and regulations are the operational and behavioral laws that apply directly to association members and may govern the lots, units, and common areas. They may state acceptable and/or unacceptable conduct for all owners, guests, visitors and tenants. Good rules serve the interests of the entire association and protect the common areas. Some common examples of rules are below:
- Architectural controls
- Lawn and holiday decoration restrictions
- Home maintenance standards
- Noise complaint policies
- Home occupancy limits
- Parking rules and guidelines
- Pet size and quantity limits
- Short-term rental restrictions
- Trash and recycling rules
