Wildflower II Dues, by year, 1981 - 1998
How I arrived at these numbers
I used only Associations who are managed by Ridgepine. There are in addition three or four Associations who are self-managed. In 1998, Ridgepine charged Wildflower II $8550.00 to manage our Association. This amounts to about $45.00 per quarter for each unit's dues.
I did not include The Ridge, because these are time shares and their dues include an assessment for "interior" upkeep (The Ridge's dues were $786/quarter).
Ranch Cabins included an assessment for "land lease" and an assessment for "Land Purchase Fund". There were 6 Ranch Cabin units with dues ranging from $553.06 to $834.38 /quarter with "land lease" accounting for about $300 of that amount. I did not include the "Land Purchase Fund" assessment in the computation.
Some of the Associations collect dues monthly, I multiplied these dues by three to get equivalent quarterly dues.
I believe that some differences among the units exist because some Associations' dues include upkeep for swimming pools, tennis courts or (perhaps) hot tubs. Possibly some buildings are of construction that requires more maintenance (e.g. wood versus stucco).
It is possible that some Associations may have used special assessments to pay for capital replacements, thereby keeping regular quarterly dues low.
I believe that one Association may have taken out a loan to pay for capital replacements, with loan repayment being factored into dues, making those dues higher than they would be otherwise.
