A Homeowners Association is a non-profit organization in a planned community that is initiated by the developer and registered as an encumbrance on all the properties in the community. A Homeowners Association collects dues to pay for the maintenance and enhancement of the community.

The volunteer Board of Directors sets the annual homeowners association fees as part of the budget process. The annual fees are set at:

A.

No. HOA fees are due as per the encumbrance registered on your title and help to ensure the preservation and enhancement of your neighbourhood. Outstanding fees may incur additional collection costs which will become the responsibility of the owner.

A.

Your annual HOA fees pay for the maintenance and enhancement of our neighbourhood as well as communication mediums (website, AGM etc.), and several other maintenance and operational requirements. The City of Edmonton attempts to cut the grass on a 21 day cycle, with weeding done even more infrequently. Over the last few years the developer has been maintaining the common area greenspaces at least every 7 - 10 days.

This is the same for snow removal and garbage collection from parks. Your fees will supplement the City's schedule to keep these areas to an acceptable level. Additionally, the City does not cover any of the shrub/flower beds at the entries into the community nor does it cover certain other beds throughout the neighbourhood. Finally, the fountain in the pond is not maintained or powered by the city, and this cost falls to the HOA.
