Mandatory Fees For Property Owners Of Apple Valley Lake
Property Owners Association Fee
The property owners association (POA) collects payments from owners to cover expenses that the POA is responsible for on a regular basis. POA fees vary drastically across the country, with some estimates claiming these fees range between $100 and $700 per month. So, you can only imagine the delight I hear from clients when I tell them that the POA fee in Apple Valley starts at $225 ANNUALLY.

Annual Maintenance Assessment
The property owners’ association (POA) collects payments from owners to cover expenses the POA is responsible for but there are cases when those aren’t covered in the regular monthly fees.
Take lawn care, for example. The POA fees typically cover the cost of landscape services to weed, feed and mow the grass in the common areas. But suppose a tree care service is called in to remove a dying tree. The POA board of directors may vote to impose an assessment fee to pay for that expense. In Apple Valley, the annual maintenance assessment costs only $225 per lot.
Deed Transfer Fee
There is a one-time deed transfer fee of $165 per deed in Apple Valley Lake. More than one lot can be listed on the deed.
Access Cards and Dependent Cards
Access cards and dependent cards are your proof of homeownership in Apple Valley and are required for use of the facilities. Unless lost or damaged, you only have to get it once.
For your convenience, you can get access cards at several facilities in Apple Valley, including the administration office, floral valley community center, the marina, and camper’s village.
