💰 Common Charges
Common charges fund the operation and maintenance of our community, including landscaping, insurance, refuse removal, lighting, repairs, and other shared services.
When accounts become delinquent, the Condominium is still responsible for meeting its financial obligations. Timely payment of common charges helps protect the financial health of the community and allows services to continue without interruption.
