Invoices for the 2015 Annual Blackthorne Estates Homes Association dues were mailed out in January with a due date of February 28th, 2015.  Dues remained at $600.00 for the fourth consecutive year.  Although the Homes Association Declaration fixes January 1st as the contractual due date, the Advisory Board has been able to manage the annual budget to have enough carry over to pay January and February expenses without a dependency on the new year’s dues revenue and, therefore, extended the due date to allow households some level of recovery from Christmas and other end of year expenses.    Households that had not made payment by the deadline were mailed a reminder and warned that trash service would be turned off on March 9th, 2015 if payment was not received.  Households that have still not made payment by March 31st, 2015 will be subject to a property lien (which will result in an additional $150.00 fee to remove the lien when the $600 annual dues are finally paid).  If you are having issues making your annual dues payment, please contact an Advisory Board member before the end of March to make the appropriate arrangements.  Otherwise, Homes Association of Kansas City (our administrative management company) will be instructed to file liens with the county recorder’s office the first week of April.
