FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
When do I pay my Dues and Assessments?
Dues and Assessments statements are mailed out mid-December every year. You have until February 28th to pay before a 1% service charge is assessed on your unpaid balance. Beginning March 1, and every month you have a balance on your account, the 1% service charge will be added. If you wish to make monthly payments a form is enclosed with your statement for you to complete and return to the business office. However, the balance must be paid in full by July 31st.
What happens if I don’t pay my Dues and Assessments?
Dues and Assessments are due in full by July 31st each year. If you have not paid your balance you will receive an “Intent to Lien” letter informing you that Surfside will place a lien against your property if the balance is not paid by a specified date and the cost of filing/releasing will be added to your account. If you do not pay Dues and Assessments for two years in a row you will receive an “Intent to Foreclose Lien” letter stating Surfside will refer your account to our attorney for collection, incurring additional costs to your account.
