Dear Nisqually Meadows Community Members, The purpose of this letter is to inform homeowners of what the total HOA dues amount is for 2023, when the payments are due by, and what the consequences are for lack of payment.

The dues for 2023 are $198.45 and please submit your payments no later than Jan. 1st, 2023, to avoid a late payment and incur any late payment charges. For all HOA dues that have not been received by Jan. 15, 2023, a late interest payment will start to accrue at the rate of 1%/month or 12%/year for any portion that is left outstanding. If a homeowner fails to pay their HOA dues within 30 days of the billing due date, they are at risk of having a lien placed on their property. The HOA board has decided that property liens associated with past due HOA dues for 2023, will not be filed until March 1st 2023. Once a lien is filed, the homeowner will be responsible for all costs, including and not limited to: the underlying debt, all accrued interest, postage, attorney fees, and the cost to file and remove the lien.

The HOA board is not responsible for any payments that are lost or not identifiable. If you have sent payment and you receive an additional billing, this means the HOA has not processed, or received your payment. Please reach out directly to the HOA Board, if you have paid and received a new billing, so we can help resolve the issue. Follow-up billings, are generally sent around the 15th of each month.

Forms of payment that will be accepted are check, money order, and credit/debit (more on this below). Unfortunately, the HOA will no longer be accepting CASH payments. To submit your payment non-electronically, either make arrangements with a board member to deliver the payment in person or you can mail the payment to the HOA Board P.O. Box address below. For the first time, we will be accepting credit/debit card payments as an option for paying your dues. To submit an electronic payment, see the web link included in the dues statement. To have this as an option, there will be an additional convenience fee for any homeowner that chooses to use this service. Homeowners that choose this service, are agreeing to take the responsibility for the additional fee which will be: 2.9% of the total transaction amount plus 0.30 cents. The balance for an electronic payment will be $204.69. This amount will increase if payments are later than Jan. 15, 2023 If you submit an electronic payment, and choose to cancel the payment after your submission, you will not be able to receive a refund of the fee amount that was paid and will not show paid with HOA. In addition, please take note that a credit/debit transaction can take up to 3 days to process. When payment is made you will receive a receipt for the payment, please hold on to this for your records, as verification of payment. A payment will not be considered late, as long as it was submitted before the due date. If you are making a late payment for your HOA dues, after Feb. 28th, you will no longer be able to use the electronic option and will have to submit your payment using one of the non-electronic methods, as indicated above.

If you would like to consent to receive email communications about HOA related items in the future, please consider filling out the bottom of the dues statement with your name and email address when submitting your payment, to be added to our mailing list.

Thank you, Nisqually Meadows HOA Board HOA Website: www.nisquallymeadowshoa.com PO Box 2986 Yelm, WA 98597
