Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Monthly cohousing homeowners fee

[Robert (robert]

At Eno Commons, we have 22 households and each household pays dues ($100/month) 
which has three components:
   * $40/month: reserves     covers replacement costs of the Common House and 
infrastructure
                             (water/sewer/road; we have city services but if 
the pipes/road breaks,
                             we need to fix it)
   * $15/month: capital:     to build new items like our work shop, play 
structure, west wing of Common House
   * $45/month: operational: Common House utilities; regular maintenance; 
supplies, child care, web site, etc

It has worked pretty well and we have not had the need to make any assessments. 
 (First move-in July 1998.)

Your dues may be more (or less) depending what you wish to include 
(i.e.internet access, bagels every Sat, ...)
