30 Grand Reserve Association Fees The Grand Reserve is funded through monthly Association fees billed to each Owner in the community. All Association funds are held in the Grand Reserve bank account for payment of Association expenses in accordance with the approved Annual Budget for the Association. These funds are used exclusively to benefit the Association. Your Association fee is due on the first of each month. If your check is received later than the 10 th of the month, a late fee in the amount of $25.00 will be charged to your account plus interest until paid in full. Your monthly Association fee is paid with the use of payment coupons provided annually by AAM. If for some reason you need to obtain another statement, please call the Billing Department at or AAMBillingDepartment@aamaz.com and they will order more for you. If you have a question about your account balance, please contact the Customer Service Department directly at or toll free at The customer service address is csr@aamaz.com. Association Fee: This fee is paid in regular intervals as set forth in the Governing Documents. The amount of the fee is generally based on an annual operating budget for the Association that is adopted in advance of the fiscal year and divided among the applicable units in Association. Working Capital Contribution: This contribution is required of first-time buyers to help launch the operation of their Community Association. This fee is nonrefundable and is not a prepayment of Association fees. The funds accumulated through the Working Capital Contribution help operate the Association during its formative stage and often help the Association establish a strong financial footing, which directly benefits the members of the Association. Transfer Fee: This fee is collected by the Association to pay for the setup and orientation of a new lot and/or a new owner within the Association. New homes and their owners are placed within the Association s accounting records and provided payment documents or set up for automatic withdrawal of the Association fee. Account files are then established to track such items as the designated voting representative for each home, pets within a home, vehicles registered to each owner, etc. Finally, once the owner has purchased their home, an orientation package is provided by the Association to acquaint them with the operation of their Association and provide them with important applications, reference documents, and information that is unique to their community. 30 Grand Reserve HOA Handbook Revised: 2/2017
