Condo Fees
Talltree South, like other condominium communities, funds its operations through the condo fees ("assessments") you pay. These condo fees pay for utilities such as gas for heat and cooking (our largest expense), the water you use, and common electricity as well as maintenance of the roofs, snow removal and grounds maintenance, trash removal, etc. These expenses are reflected in an annual budget, which essentially determines the amount of condo fees charged.
In Legal
If payment is not received by the Managing Agent (Cardinal Management Group) within 45 days after the due date, legal action will be initiated.
Your account will be sent to the law firm. Remaining installments of the annual assessment will be accelerated, and action to collect fees owed will be undertaken, which may include filing a lien or suit to collect all sums due to the Association, including delinquent assessments, late charges, administrative fees, costs, and reasonable attorney's fees. At this point, you will be dealing with the law firm rather than the Managing Agent. Please don't make us send you to legal!
Late Payment
After two or more returned checks, the Board of Directors may require all future payments to be made by certified check or money order for the remainder of the year. A fee will be assessed for every returned check.
The Board of Directors may suspend an owner's right to use services and facilities, including pool and parking facilities, if an account is past due.
On-time Payment
The Association is not a landlord. This property is operated using condo fees paid by all owners. It is therefore extremely important for all fees to be paid on time. Direct debit arrangements may be made with the Managing Agent (Cardinal) by calling their offices.
Board of Directors
The Board of Directors of Talltree South consists of five members elected by the unit owners of the Association. The Board:
- Plans and budgets for ongoing maintenance of the property, including setting the condominium fees to insure proper funding of the budget
- Contracts for work to ensure proper maintenance and upkeep of the property
- Establishes and enforces policy, rules, and regulations in accordance with the bylaws, to keep the property a pleasant place to live.
Board terms are staggered to provide continuity. Each year, some of the seats are up for election.
The Board meets on the second Wednesday of the month at the local elementary school or other nearby location, at 7:00 PM. Meeting notices and agendas are posted on the bulletin boards for your convenience. Whether you are an owner or tenant, you are welcome at the Board meeting.
