HOA ANNUAL DUES
Dear Homeowners,
As we come to the end of another year and start to look forward to next, it is once again time to pay our Homeowners Association Dues. During our last Homeowners Association meeting we discussed the recommendation to increase our annual dues to $200 to meet the rising cost of expenditures of the Green Acres Homeowners Association. The board has reviewed your input and has voted to increase the dues to $200 annually. Given the current balance of the association’s bank account we ask that the dues be paid NLT 1 February 2024 to ensure we meet our commitments.
Payments may be made by personal check, cashier’s check, or money order and mailed to:
GAHOA
P.O. Box 174
Ellerslie, GA 31807
For those homeowners who have chosen to make their payments via Zelle in the past our banking information has changed. Please use The Green Acres Homeowners Association email address, greenacres.5054@gmail.com, to send payment via Zelle.
The board would like to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season and we look forward to your continued support in the future. If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or suggestions for the GAHOA Board of Directors, please email us at greenacres.5054@gmail.com.
Thank You ,
GAHOA Board of Directors
**************************************************************************************************
Why pay dues????? Sometimes folks wonder why we have the dues and why we try to encourage they are paid as soon as possible. The Main Reason is so we have lights in our neighborhood. Also so we can replace old signs i.e. Stop signs or street signs, repair rightaways, and unfortunately to cover legal fees when dealing with those that don’t cooperate. Remember the goal is to have a neighborhood we can all enjoy. Hopefully we can start this New Year with more participation from neighbors if you wish to participate or want to be on the board please contact us. Lets have a Great Year!!! GAHOA Board
