How Community Fees
are derived
The total community is divided into autonomous
Urbanizations as shown in the chart. Each zone has it
percentage share of the total as defined in the Statutes of
the Community. Every apartment, house, shop. garage and
storeroom carries its respective Cuota based upon it's area
within the zone, including the Swimming Pool and the Tennis
Courts.
General Costs for
the Community
These yearly costs are detailed on the summary
which was sent to you from Cofinanz. They include such items
as IBI, the ground taxes, electricity for street lighting,
gardener costs, repairs, pool water and chemicals, pool
maintenance, tennis courts etc etc. I am not going to detail
all items, so PLEASE read the documentation sent to you.
Frequently Asked
Question
FAQ: I have a
detached Villa with a pool. Why should I pay for the common
pool?
When you purchased
your villa, you became a shareholder in the total community
which is inclusive of the "common" amenities such as
pool and tennis courts.
FAQ; Why are
the community fees so high this year compared with 2006
Interesting question
- please read the accounts statement sent to you. The previous
administration did NOT pay for the repairs and
modifications to the pool, did NOT pay the IBI taxes, did NOT
pay a Lawyers account, and so it goes on. We have been
inundated with claims of non payment of bills, but since the
creditors have official orders for work - we have no choice
but to pay. OK, the new skimmers in the pool are not
functioning, so we are not paying until the contractor honors
his part and completes the job. The good news is that once we
clear the inherited debts, the 2008 fees should reduce.
FAQ What are
you doing about the non payers
What we are doing and
what "I" would like to do are not the same. We can
only operate within the legal framework of the system.
However, by mid August 2007, Lists will be displayed at
prominent points and notice boards detailing the offenders
names, property number and the debts owing to the community.
Everybody has had sufficient time to pay. Now is the time to
"Name and Shame "these people.
