FINANCIAL

(22) Monthly condo fee statements/invoices to each owner together with a self addressed envelope. This statement shows the unit owner what is owed and will break out the maintenance fee from any late fees and/or special assessments. In addition, The Board of Trustees can use this monthly mailing to send out notices and minutes from Board meetings. This approach is far superior to a coupon book. Coupon books have a tendency to get lost. In addition, a coupon book does not state exactly what a unit owes on a monthly basis, it only shows the amount which is currently due.

(23) Direct payment: With Direct Payment, owners will no longer have to write checks or purchase stamps to mail their payment. Only the fixed monthly fee will be directly withdrawn from an owners specified bank account and transferred directly to the association’s bank account.
