Bent Tree property owners had three payment options for their 2018 fees and assessments:

• Pay the entire amount in full by March 1, 2018.
• 6 month installment method with six equal monthly installments (first payment was due on January 10 and final payment will be due on June 10).  There is a $5 per month charge to pay by installments ($30 total for the 6 month plan).
• 12 month installment method with twelve equal monthly installments (first payment was due on January 10 and final payment will be due on December 10).  There is a $5 per month charge to pay by installments ($60 total for the 12 month plan).

Needless to say, if you haven’t made a payment yet this year, no matter what option you chose, you are now delinquent.

The Board of Directors raised the Annual General User Fee (AGUF) to $425 for 2018.  The AGUF is mandatory for all improved properties and is optional for vacant lot owners.  The AGUF affords the following privileges/memberships:
