Sonoma Lake HOA Dues

How much are HOA dues?

For 2024, dues were increased approximately 20%, resulting in 2024 dues of $408 per year for those living in Phases I and III.  Phase IV dues are $528. The additional amount paid by the residents of Phase IV are allocated to the gate fund that is collected in anticipation of gate repairs and future road reconditioning. 

Who sets the amount of the yearly dues?

The Board sets the amount that dues will be.  The amount is based on the annual budget.  The Board may not raise the dues more than 20% each year.  

Are paying dues optional?

No, every household in Sonoma Lake must pay dues.  If you do not pay dues, a lien will be placed on your house and you will need to pay your back dues, accrued  interest, and the lien fee before you sell your house.  Failure to pay also will result in the loss of pool privileges and clubhouse access.

Can I pay my dues online?
