SANDYPORT HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION LTD.
www.sandyport.management
FROM THE CHAIRMAN Dear Owner, At the Board meeting on November 19th, 2019, the Directors resolved that the 2020 Annual Assessment is set at $2.75 per square foot (excluding VAT). This is the 15th consecutive year without increasing maintenance fees. We should note that our community grew by 6 homes in 2019, adding 19,630 square feet to the assessed area representing 2% year on year growth. Subsequently, we will continue to remain observant with our costs and perform only those improvements that permit us to operate inside our budget. Due to the change in policy that permit the subdividing of certain lots our community now consist of 513 total units. 413 assessed homes, 94 vacant lots, 6 under construction. This year due to the change in weather patterns we have deferred some large projects that are under consideration for 2019. As a result we expect to report a respectable surplus at the year end, which will be reserve for the continuation of bulkhead repairs and special capital projects in 2020. The early payment discount of 3% for all 2020 Annual Assessment Fees will be available. The following conditions apply. •
Payment must be in full by January 14th, 2020
•
Any other due balances associated with the account should be also be clear by the deadline
•
Deduction of 3% discount applies to the 2020 Assessment Fees gross (VAT inclusive) amount only.
•
Note the indenture Fees (applied to vacant lots) are not eligible for discount and are due on January 1, 2020 in full.
•
For VAT reporting requirements, we will apply the Assessment Fees to accounts in monthly instalments
•
In the event that the rate of VAT changes, we will adjust accounts according to the tax (invoice) date and irrespective of the settlement date.
The 3% discount to eligible accounts will appear as a VAT inclusive credit by January 31, 2020. The 2020 bills will be accessible on your account by December 16th, 2020. Yours sincerely,
Robert Sands Chairman
