HOA UPDATE This month’s important topic is annual assessments. For those of you that may be new to the community, and even those that have been here awhile, you may or may not realize that you pay annual assessments to the HOA. You are provided a ton of paper work at closing that can be a whirlwind of information to go through and understand. Assessments are funds that are paid annually by you, the homeowner. These funds pay for the amenities along with their upkeep including landscaping, water, lighting, insurance, pool and lifeguard service, lake service, chemicals, fountain maintenance, fitness center, cable, resident community events, internet, cleaning service, etc. What is important to know is the assessment billing is sent out each year in November. The assessments are due January 1st and late after January 31st. If you are unable to pay in full or need to make any kind of arrangement, we will work with you. We can make payment arrangements that fit your budget and will remove any late and interest fees. Please email AR Specialist Consuelo Silva at consuelo.silva@inframark. com, Assistant Manager Courtney Fisher at courtney.fisher@ inframark.com or Community Manager Kelly Reznicek at kelly. reznicek@inframark.com. Your team is happy to help make your Meridiana lifestyle grand!!

DID YOU KNOW?
Thanks to new homes, healthy property values and a restructured state school finance system, Alvin ISD has lowered its property tax rate by slightly more than 5 cents for the 2019-2020 fiscal year.
GET TO KNOW YOUR NEIGHBORS We are the THE CANCINOS! We moved to Meridiana in April of 2018 and immediately fell in love with our new community. Our neighbors were welcoming and if you needed to borrow a stick of butter, 10 people were ready to walk over with it! We definitely felt right at home here. Our three kiddos, Faith, Logan and Hadley, love to fish in the lake. The trails provide scenic walks and beautiful bike rides. We enjoy our annual stay in the boathouse and the delicious food from Cafe Sol. Movies in the park have to be my favorite! My husband, Albert and I enjoy planning fun events with our neighbors and you can often find us hosting people at our house. I love coming up with creative ways to get together to network in the conservatory. We are so happy to call Meridiana home!
"We love being able to take Noah down walks on the trails by our house!"
