Frequently
Asked Questions about your CPN Master Association Dues: |
|
 |
|
Haven’t
I already paid my CPN Master Association Annual Dues in 2003? |
|
|
|
You may have paid your 2002 Annual Dues during calendar year 2003,
as the 2002 invoice was delayed until late in the year because of
a computer system
conversion. If you bought your house during 2003, your dues should
have been paid at closing. |

|
|
|
|
|
But
why do I get a bill from the “Master Association” -- I
already pay my HOA dues? |
|
|
|
Most CPN residents belong to two - and sometimes more - levels of
Homeowners Associations. Each Association operates independently,
with their own Management Company, Board of Directors, and dues
payments.
- Annual
Dues to the CPN Master Association serve ALL CPN residents.
- You
also pay dues directly to one or more Neighborhood HOAs.

What
do these the different Associations do? |

See
the CPN “Family
Tree” of Neighborhoods and Homeowner Associations
for a summary of the dues and
the services provided by each of the HOA’s, and see the back
of this page for contact information. A quick overview of the different
roles:

|
|
|
|
Neighborhood
HOAs serve specific subdivisions within CPN |
|
|
|
Most
CPN neighborhoods have a Neighborhood Homeowners Association. Claremont
Estates and Huntington Ridge are the only areas that do not
have a neighborhood HOA.
Dues
and services vary for each HOA, but can cover items such as private
facilities (pools, clubhouses, common grounds); contracting for
services such as trash collection; sponsoring neighborhood social
activities; and oversight of covenants.
Townhomes,
patio homes, and gated neighborhoods have additional Sub-Associations
that provide services such as lawn mowing and snow removal for the
residents’ property, and maintaining private streets/gates.
[See
the enclosed materials for a summary of the dues and services for
your neighborhood HOA(s), and contact the Neighborhood HOA’s
management company for more information.]
