Cohousing-L Mailing List: Annual Assessment

[RatliffBill (RatliffBill]

EcoVillage in Loudoun County, VA, now has eight houses occupied and is 
breaking ground for another one next week, with the eventual goal of fifty 
homes.  
We currently are assessed $1260 each year by our community association.  This 
covers fire protection, road maintenance, insurance, weekly trash pickup, 
mowing and bush hogging, planting trees, committee support and community 
events.  

As we look at what we want to do in the future, we are seeing that our 
current assessment is not enough.  It would be helpful to know what other 
cohousing 
communities are charging and what the money is used for.  Thanks for any input 
you can offer!
