Maintenance Fees / Pro-Rating

Ok, so I have been doing some research and a little reading around but am still a little confused. In the past MF's have always been released and payable in June, with the use year being June 1st to May 31st. If you wanted to make a reservation for a date AFTER June 1st in a given year you had to pay the next years MF's. That all makes sense.

Recently of course a decision was made to change the use year to match the calendar year which I actually am looking forward to I think. Here is my question though;

I paid my 2015/2016 MF's of $1,072.70 in January 2015. These would have been the fees for June 1st 2015 to May 31st 2016. When I log into my account now, it showed an additional $647.64 owing which was MF's, Reserves, and real estate tax. So if I am correct, this is for the rest of 2016 and I should not have another MF bill until 2017?

I'm in Timbers. I had to pay $1,201.29 in February to make an October reservation. It looks like on April 30th they billed $719.55 due June 1st, leaving me with a credit of $481.74 (but never sent me a paper invoice). I would expect to get a bill in November for calendar year 2016.

I did just call in to get the $5 "voluntary" ARDA contribution credited back.

This seems incorrect. You should call them.

I had a credit in my account of $711 for pre paid (borrowed) points maint fee, they took my 6 month $647 out of that amount.

Since you prepaid in January, you should have a credit of $1,072.70 minus $647 that you can apply to your Jan 2016-Dec 2016 fee.

Call.

Yep, I read it wrong. It is actually showing a credit of $647.64 so since I paid $1,072.70 I now have a credit of $647.64. I totally missed the () around the number showing a credit owing to me which will of course be applied to my statement next year in January.

My curiosity is whether they will let us reserve past 12/31/15?? B


Has anyone tried?

I'll be calling in tomorrow to do that, and I'm guessing I'll have to pay the 2016 estimated MF.

Let me know!

Unfortunately, we were traveling to Myrtle Beach today and got delayed so I didn't get a chance to call. I'll let you know Monday.

They did not make me pay any estimated fees today.

Great news. Thanks.

Additional question. Did you deposit or just reserve for your own use?
And I wonder if this would make a difference.

I reserved for my own use, so that might make a difference (although when I was reserving an October week earlier this year for my own use, they still made me prepay since the check in date was after June 1st).
