Terms & Conditions
Covenants for Maintenance Assessments
Discussed at Annual General Membership Meetings in 2021 and 2022 the amount collected from the annual assessments will not cover inflation costs in our Capital Improvement/Maintenance Plan (CIP). The Board committed that it would continue to refine and adjust the CIP and adjust the amount of the annual dues as necessary. The Board is operating under authority of the Restrictive Covenants of the Springfield Station Homeowners’ Association, Article VI: Covenants for Maintenance Assessments, Section 3, Item (a), that allows the Board of Directors to increase the annual assessment by an amount not to exceed the greater of 3% or the percentage of increase in the Washington area Consumer Price Index (CPI). The Consumer Price Index for January-to-January 2023 was 4.4%).
Mini-Court Fee
In accordance with the Association Covenants (Restrictive Covenants, Article IV, Section C), if your property is part of a mini-court within our homeowners’ association an annual mini-court fee of $24.00 is collected in addition to the annual assessment. The owners within each mini-court share the responsibility of the maintenance, replacement, repair, and benefit of the easement area within each mini-court. The mini-court fees are placed in a special account to be used only by the members of that mini-court. Disposition of these funds is at the sole discretion of those property owners.
Failure to Pay the Annual Assessment
Any assessment that is not paid within 60 days of the due date shall be assessed a 5% fee (§ 55.1-1824. § 58.1-3915). If a homeowner fails to pay their assessment after 90 days the Association is obligated to obtain a lien in accordance with the provisions of the Property Owners’ Association Act as set forth in Chapter 18 (§ 55.1-1833. The homeowner is responsible for all costs associated with this process.
