WBLRA Assessment Collection Policy

White Birch Lakes Recreational Association

Assessment Collection Policy

The following policy was adopted by the board on May 10, 2003.

“One-year of assessments owed:

Per WBL By-Laws Article III Section 4 and Article XIV Section 3:

Member will lose all membership privileges, including but not limited to the use of the clubhouse, lakes, campground and pavilion, serving on any committee, voting during elections and permits for property improvements will not be issued. Public comments stated at Board Meetings by property owners with unpaid assessments will be recorded as having been made by a “member not in good standing”. Suspension of membership will remain in effect until any and all lot assessments, interest and fines are paid in full or a monthly or quarterly payment agreement has been signed and adhered to. Privileges will be suspended for violation of any agreed upon payment plan. Payment plan will require all owed assessments be paid in full before the end of the current fiscal year. A payment-processing fee will be added to each monthly or quarterly payment.

More than one year of assessments owed:

A lien will be placed against property and outstanding assessments will be reported to credit agencies to reflect as an unpaid debt on credit reports.

Lots with assessments of two years or more unpaid shall be brought before the Board of Directors. At this point the Board of Directors may choose to take legal action that may include the foreclosure of property and garnishment of wages. Collection of assessments may also be turned over to a collection agency. All fees incurred by the Association during collection will be added to assessments owed. Property owners may choose to turn ownership of lots with unpaid assessments over to the Association as payment.”
