Be advised that your monthly HOA Assessment will INCREASE as of January 1, 2026.
On November 12, 2025, the 2026 Budget for The Grande North at Santa Fe Place Homeowner Association was sent out to all Owners via mail and e-mail. Included in the Budget is the January 1, 2026, to December 31, 2026, Assessment Schedule which reflects your new Assessment amount.
In order to meet anticipated operating expenses, adequately fund the reserves, and maintain the common areas in a manner that preserves and enhances property values for all Owners, the Board of Directors has determined that an increase is necessary to responsibly meet the Association’s financial needs for the upcoming fiscal year. The approved assessment increase for 2026 is primarily due to significant rises in the Association’s insurance premiums, increased reserve contributions, higher costs for building materials and supplies, wage increases, and the reallocation of funds to more accurately reflect anticipated expenditures.
Please carefully review “Exhibit B” beginning on page 20 of the Budget Packet for your unit’s assessment information.
Please check your ledger for your new amount when submitting your payment via check or online. For those that are not enrolled in autopay (automatic payments) through the Resident Portal, you will need to adjust your assessment amount when submitting your payment via check or online. This is especially important if you utilize your bank’s bill pay option, as it most likely requires manual change. If you have automatic payments set up through Action Property Management (Payabli), the assessment amount will automatically be updated and no action is required on your part.
