After all these years of self management we are now with a management company. I heard nothing of this until I got the letter a couple weeks ago. This was sudden in my view. You may recall this was discussed a couple of years ago, at that time the "New Era" board ran on the platform of "self management" with no outsourced management company involved. You can probably scroll down on this page and see that where I posted it.
So now we have to pay our dues to CMC management instead of that bank, or with those coupons.
Don't pay with those coupons anymore!

As of today I have not been able to pay my dues because their website is not working. I guess I'll mail a check. This is progress? Geez. I called them about the problem and was in voicemail hell for a while.
Any dues increase will be in March. What do you bet there will be a dues increase, to pay for the management company? I just bet there will be!
It turns out there will be a $2.00 "convenience fee" to pay your association dues on the

$2 is a small sum, but I don't find it *more* convenient than the *no fee* payments we were able to make on that bank website. Why can't we keep making our payments there, can't they send the money on to the *management company*?
In fact it's $2 less convenient. It's also less convenient than being able to write a check and put it through Vern Boyd's mail slot.
Should the HOA accept payments put in the mailbox in front of Mark Carlton's house at 3365 Topaz Lane?
Sometimes I am a little short, I like being able to pay at the last minute. How about you?
