Annual HOA Dues
Each homeowner is responsible for paying annual dues by January 31 of the new year. Dues notices are mailed in late November. The HOA has a Late Fee and Collection Policy published on the HOA website and available upon request.
The first year homeowners closing process will prorate the yearly dues until 12/31. If the closing date is in November or December, we also ask closing company to collect the next year’s dues at closing. This money will be sent directly to the HOA. It is the responsibility of the titled owner to pay the HOA dues regardless who occupies the home. Mortgage companies and banks do not pay HOA dues on an annual basis. Any questions regarding dues, kindly email: Treasurer@CrystalRiverRanch.com
Covenants
Homeowners are responsible for reading and following the covenants. By accepting title to your home you have accepted responsibility to abide by the covenants. The covenants can be found on our website: http://crystalriverranch.org/docs/.
Architectural Control Committee (ACC)
As a new homeowner, you may have some plans to improve your property. Please keep in mind, the Association has an Architectural Control Committee to help maintain the quality of our neighborhood.
