How to Pay Dues
The HOA fee is due by May 1 each year. If not received on time, late fees will apply. Under no circumstances will any late fees for late payment be waived.
Here's how it works: the dues are currently $400/year. The HOA holds an Annual Meeting for all homeowners during the first 2 weeks of March; the Annual Meeting package gets mailed out 30 days prior. Shortly after the Annual Meeting, a statement is mailed to all homeowners billing them for the next fiscal year of dues (May 1 - April 30).
For home purchases after March 15, the homeowner will have 45 days to pay the prorated dues from the time of closing. Dues will be prorated based on the number of months between the purchase closing date and May 1 of the following year. Closings after the 15th of any month will exempt that month from the calculation of prorated dues. If dues are 90 days late, they become subject to a late fee. Need help calculating your prorated amount? Please don't hesitate to contact the Property Manager.
There are several ways to pay dues.
- Mail a check for the annual amount to Integrity Property Management, 1912 North Main Street, Anderson, SC 29621.
- Drop your check off in person at Integrity Property Management.
- Send an eCheck via your bank's checking account BillPay system.
- Set up/Use a Doorloop account to make an online payment. To register an account for the first time, you need to receive an 'invitation' from our Property Manager. Contact Michael at Integrity Property Management for the invite; it will be emailed to the email address on record (and this is where the account will be set up).
Late Fees and Liens
Purchasing a home in the Silverleaf Subdivision Homeowners Association meant you agreed to become a member of the HOA; it was a condition of the sale. All members are required to pay the annual dues - there are no exceptions.
In the case of a 90-day delinquency, the By-Laws state that the Board has the authority to enact a late fee in the amount of 10% of the outstanding balance, for each month, or partial month thereafter. You can see how the outstanding balance can continue to keep growing if not paid on time. The Board also has the authority to place a recorded lien on your home's deed, at their sole and absolute discretion. No one wants a lien, and we don't want to have to do this, but all members must contribute to the necessary operation and function of the corporation. Refer to Article XII of the By-Laws for reference.
