I was being sarcastic. Our HOA collects a bit of dues to pay for
maintaining the front entrance, mowing of common areas, and an annual
July 4th party, and to share the names of good contractors.
You have to pay to share the names of good contractors? You yankees are a weird bunch. Down here we do it because we care about each other, and don't feel that we should get something because we give.
The Association's volunteers maintain an email list. Our dues are
practically non-existent...plants for the entrance, the entrance light
bill, mowing, the party...we get a spreadsheet that tells us what the
dollars were spent for. There is some sort of state law that requires an
actual accountant review the books, but we get that for free because one
of the residents is a CPA and she takes care of it. I think we have
about $10,000 in a reserve fund. I don't pay much attention to the
Association...it's not intrusive.
