Annual Dues

This page addresses some common questions that the board has received about annual dues. If you have additional questions that this article does not answer, please refer to the Article III of the Savannah Green Covenants or contact us.

Note that the covenants take legal precedent over any information presented here. If you notice any inconsistencies between the information in this document and contents of the covenants, please contact us.

How to Request Legal Verification of Paid Annual Dues

If you are moving or refinancing and need legal verification that your annual dues are paid, please fill out the Annual Dues Verification Request Form. Please allow two weeks to process your request. The Board cannot guarantee fulfillment of your request without a two week notice. Because of legal issues, the Association has to send the paperwork via postal mail and not electonically or by fax. Sorry, no exceptions.

How to Pay Your Annual Dues

Residents receive an annual dues notice in the mail each year in the month of December. Dues must be paid in full by January 31.

Write a check in the amount of $60.00 payable to the Savannah Green Homeowners Association. Make sure the street address of the property appears on your check. Mail it to the following address:

Savannah Green Homeowners Association
PO Box 114
Normal, IL 61761

Purpose of Annual Dues

The Association uses the annual dues to promote the health, safety, welfare, and recreation of residents in the subdivision. The assessment pays for improvements, repairs, and maintenance of the landscaping, perimeter fencing, the clubhouse and the clubhouse parking lot. It also pays for insurance policies and legal expenses that the Association incurs.

Rights of the Association to Collect Annual Dues

For the Association to function we require timely payment of annual dues from all members. Failure to pay your dues on time will result in restriction of your association membership privileges, late fees, interest and placement of a lien on your property for each year that they are not paid. Failure to pay your dues for multiple consecutive years will result in foreclosure of the liens on your property and loss of your home.

Please refer to the Article III of the covenants for more information on the Association's rights to collect assessments.

Legal Use of Association Funds

The covenants legally constrain the Association to use the funds for said purposes. To prevent theft or misappropriation of funds, checks written from Association accounts require two signatures from Board members. If a couple serves on the Board, then the name of only one member of that couple is added to the accounts. This ensures that no single person or couple has total control over the Association's funds.
