Dues and Assessments

Dues and assessments are fees that members of a community or organization pay to cover shared expenses. Dues are typically regular, recurring payments (such as monthly or yearly) that support ongoing management and maintenance, like in a homeowners' association or professional group. Assessments are additional, often one-time or infrequent charges, used to fund specific projects or unexpected costs, such as repairs or improvements. Both ensure the community’s shared spaces, services, and infrastructure are maintained properly, fostering a well-functioning, cohesive environment.
