TX,
I live in a new development, the HOA has never charged dues to date. We received our first bill for current dues on April 15th. In this bill are charges associated with back payment to the social membership at a local Country Club which is stipulated for in the HOA.
The HOA states that my means to pay these dues is through the HOA, not to the Country Club. I am willing to now become a member of the club and stay current through my HOA dues. I do not feel that I owe for past dues to the Club due to not receiving benefits from the club and I checked and have never been signed up as an active member. All homeowners are in my situation.
Should I be held liable for the past dues? My feeling is no since the HOA in essence has just begun billing me. They are trying to bill me for dues from 2008 and 2009.
2 items I have received: statement from HOA on April 15th 2010 stating this is the first bill ever issued.
Welcome letter from country club dated April 15th 2010 stating to come sign up and all dues will be paid through my HOA.
Thanks for the help.
