Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Counting the # of Residents for Setting the HOA Dues for a Condo Building

[David Heimann (heimann]

Hello,

	We at JP Cohousing use the percentage interest in the Master 
Deed to set the percentage of the total net budget that each unit pays.

	That's the straightforward part.  As to what the percentage 
interests are, that was set during development based mostly on square 
footage but also on floor level, view, nearby noise from traffic, 
trains, etc., private yard space (that a few units have), 
deed-restricted units, etc.  We had our project consultant propose them, 
then tweaked them until we got to agreement.  Although we came close at 
one point when of the units changed its size, we have not changed those 
percentages since.
