Special assessments are occasional fees levied in addition to annual assessments, meant to cover significant costs for specific improvements or repairs within our community. These assessments are designed to defray, either partially or in full, expenses related to the construction, reconstruction, repair, or replacement of capital improvements in the Common Areas, ensuring that the shared spaces remain well-maintained and enjoyable for everyone.<\/p>\n
For a special assessment to be enacted, it must first be approved by a two-thirds (2\/3) majority vote of the members who are present in person or by proxy at a meeting specifically called for this purpose. However, if the special assessment is required to cover costs under agreements specified in Article VII of the Declaration, the Board of Directors may levy this assessment without a membership vote.<\/p>\n
Special assessments allow us to address unexpected costs and maintain the community’s infrastructure while keeping annual assessments as stable as possible. Thank you for your support in keeping Nowland Estates a beautiful place to call home!<\/p>\n

These need to be cut and removed; but, there are no funds available.\u00a0The board is planning on putting funds in the special assessment for this.<\/span><\/p>\n \u200b<\/span><\/span>Finally, there are several other maintenance activities that need to be done in the near, not too distant, future. At the subdivision’s current annual assessment and the continuous rising price of service for the ponds, pumps, and landscaping, there has been no opportunity to fund these maintenance activities. These may need to wait; but, there needs to be planning on how those will be funded in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n \u200b<\/span><\/span>More information will be available soon.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0Also, look for a Special Assessment letter in your mailbox.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u200b<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ specialty=”on” prev_background_color=”#ffffff” _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”gcid-f4ed938a-f221-4e43-a560-8a6ab8145c77″ custom_padding=”121px|||||” top_divider_style=”arrow3″ top_divider_height=”150px” global_module=”135″ saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-f4ed938a-f221-4e43-a560-8a6ab8145c77%22:%91%22background_color%22%93}”][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ specialty_columns=”2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_row_inner custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”145px|||||” custom_padding_tablet=”75px||||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column_inner saved_specialty_column_type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_text_color=”#ffffff” header_4_font=”–et_global_heading_font|700||on|||||” header_4_text_align=”center” header_4_text_color=”gcid-fd628e6e-eda6-446d-8b8e-d7c66b2c9425″ header_4_letter_spacing=”2px” header_4_line_height=”1.5em” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-fd628e6e-eda6-446d-8b8e-d7c66b2c9425%22:%91%22header_4_text_color%22%93}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” custom_margin=”10px||||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”” custom_margin_phone=”” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column_inner type=”1_2″ saved_specialty_column_type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” header_4_font=”–et_global_heading_font|600|||||||” header_4_text_align=”center” header_4_text_color=”gcid-heading-color” header_4_font_size=”16px” header_4_letter_spacing=”1.5px” header_4_line_height=”1.8em” header_4_letter_spacing_tablet=”” header_4_letter_spacing_phone=”1.3px” header_4_letter_spacing_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-heading-color%22:%91%22header_4_text_color%22%93}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][et_pb_column_inner type=”1_2″ saved_specialty_column_type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” header_4_font=”–et_global_heading_font|600|||||||” header_4_text_align=”center” header_4_text_color=”gcid-heading-color” header_4_font_size=”16px” header_4_letter_spacing=”1.5px” header_4_line_height=”1.8em” header_4_letter_spacing_tablet=”” header_4_letter_spacing_phone=”1.3px” header_4_letter_spacing_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-heading-color%22:%91%22header_4_text_color%22%93}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”–et_global_body_font|600||on|||||” text_font_size=”15px” text_letter_spacing=”1px” text_line_height=”1.5em” width=”100%” custom_margin=”0px|||-35px|false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”0px|||35px|false|false” custom_margin_phone=”” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|desktop” custom_padding=”10px|||0px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Home<\/a><\/p>\n Information<\/a><\/p>\n Architectural Review Committee<\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0Association Documents<\/a><\/p>\n Board Members<\/a><\/p>\n Storm Drains & Ponds<\/a><\/p>\n Subdivision Landscaping<\/a><\/p>\n Subdivision Road Projects<\/a><\/p>\n Special Assessments<\/a><\/p>\n
