Dues

Crescent Ridge HOA Dues History

Why HOA Dues May Increase

Several factors contribute to increases in HOA dues over time:

• Unpaid Dues: A significant number of homeowners have unpaid balances, impacting the HOA’s ability to cover essential expenses.
• Bankruptcy or Foreclosure: When long-term non-payers declare bankruptcy, the HOA cannot collect past-due amounts. This is different from cases where non-payers sell their homes, as unpaid dues can typically be recovered at closing. When foreclosed on by the bank, the HOA is lower priority than the mortgage payoff so the amount normally is not received.
• Inflation: Of course, costs are expected to increase over time, even with average inflation. Additionally, developers often set dues very low to look appealing to new home buyers… then the Board is tasked with determining a more realistic amount to fund operations. Even so, 2025’s annual assessment is only 25% more than 2011’s. From January 2011, to January 2025, CPI inflation has risen about 44%. (source)

To help minimize future increases, all owners need to stay current with their dues.
