What Do My Dues Pay For?
Stonegate is small community with a lot of common area that needs to be maintained. Dues pay for grounds maintenance, water, electricity, liability insurance, trash pick-up and more. Many subdivisions use a management company to manage their homes association which can be costly. Because we are self-governed by a board elected by the homeowners, we are able to keep our annual dues very reasonable.
2023 Dues: $355 - payable by March 31st, 2023
