Quarterly dues are flat 2022-2026 and inclusions are strong (in-unit electric, cable, internet, water, trash, pest), but the separately billed insurance assessment is budgeted at $850,000 for 2026 (28.7% of budget, +49% on 2025) after the insured value rose to ~$89M, reserve contributions fell to $374,000 (12.6%) while a $2-2.5M parking-garage program and an unfinished indoor pool have no funding plan, reserves can be spent at Board discretion, and owners must now carry their own HO-6 against a $500,000 named-storm deductible.

Special assessments2026 $850,000 budgeted total (up from $570,000 budgeted / $551,590 actual in 2025); per-unit amounts to be billed after renewal premiums are received, in four monthly installments instead of the usual three RECURRING ANNUAL INSURANCE ASSESSMENT - separate from quarterly dues by design; funds the property, liability and flood policies. The 2026 increase stems from the insured-value appraisal rising from about $56M to about $89M (property rates themselves fell ~24%).; 2025 $551,590 total; three installments due 7/1/25, 8/1/25, 9/1/25 (or one payment). Per unit: hotel suite approx. $630 x 3 = $1,890 (OCR-garbled row, equals the Commercial #2/#3 figure at the same 0.003425 share); 2BR oceanview $790 x 3 = $2,370; 2BR oceanfront $958 x 3 = $2,874; 1BR lockout $378 x 3 = $1,134; 3BR $1,184 x 3 = $3,552; 4BR $1,335 x 3 = $4,005; Commercial #1 $1,260 x 3 = $3,780; Commercial #2/#3 $630 x 3 = $1,890; Commercial #4 $2,148 per installment RECURRING ANNUAL INSURANCE ASSESSMENT after the April 10, 2025 property renewal ('terms remained essentially unchanged').; 2024 $680,000 budgeted (estimated $680,379 by unit type): hotel suite $777 x 3 = $2,331 (2023: $556 x 3); 2BR oceanview $974 x 3; 2BR oceanfront $1,180 x 3; 1BR lockout $466 x 3; 3BR $1,460 x 3; 4BR $1,646 x 3 RECURRING ANNUAL INSURANCE ASSESSMENT (2024 budget page 2); board had expected a 30-40% premium increase at the January 2023 meeting.; 2023 $487,185 recognized (budget $551,521); 2022: $400,239 RECURRING ANNUAL INSURANCE ASSESSMENT per audited FY2023 statements, note 9.; 2026 Not yet levied - engineer's rough estimate $2 to $2.5 million for parking garage maintenance/repairs to be addressed within the next couple of years; board 'does not have enough information currently to determine how best to financially address this need' and mentions spreading it out over time and/or financing PENDING/POSSIBLE capital funding for the 40-year-old parking garage (Spring 2026 letter); reserves of a little over $2M with $374k/yr contributions would not cover it alongside the unfinished indoor pool project (~$150,000 spent to date, remaining wall-repair quotes pending).; 2026 Optional ~$400 per year Rental fee for one of 74 climate-controlled owner storage cages (lottery if oversubscribed), offsetting the $43,000 cage cost and the new fitness room - not an assessment.; 2023 No special assessment, but reserve spending of $1,120,057 in 2023 and $1,113,510 in 2022 (elevators, waterproofing, boardwalk, turf, pool/hot-tub piping); reserve cash fell from $2,567,241 (12/31/2022) to $2,260,664 (12/31/2023), and audited accumulated reserve funds net of the cell-tower deferred revenue were $326,065 Context for reserve adequacy: the two-year capital program was funded from reserves plus the 2022 cell-tower lump sum rather than a special assessment (FY2023 audited statements p.13-16, notes 7 and 10).
InsuranceThree HOA policies are funded by a separate annual insurance assessment, not quarterly dues (see special_assessments): (1) property - 'walls-in' replacement cost, total insured value $51,875,112 (building & garage $51,270,218; indoor pool $54,005; racquetball court $45,000; south amenities $297,467; north amenities $108,422; personal property $100,000), policy 4/10/2025-4/10/2026 with General Security Indemnity Co. of Arizona / Lloyds of London as property carriers, plus Hartford Steam Boiler equipment breakdown ($5,000 ded.) and a Travelers crime policy; (2) liability - Scottsdale Insurance Co. CGL $1,000,000 per occurrence / $2,000,000 aggregate, umbrella (Scottsdale) and excess (Steadfast) layers whose limits are not reliably legible in the OCR, Federal Insurance Co. D&O $3,000,000 ($10,000 ded.), Pennsylvania Manufacturers workers' comp; broker McGriff (USI in 2023); (3) flood as above. Budget insurance expense line: $551,521 (2023) -> $680,000 (2024) -> $570,000 (2025) -> $850,000 (2026); audited insurance expense $407,311 (2022) and $466,311 (2023). HO-6: the Dec 2021 Rule Manual and the undated Insurance Explanation say the HOA carries a mandatory master HO-6 for all 240 residential units, but the June 1, 2025 notice states 'the HOA does not provide a blanket HO6 policy ... owners should obtain personal HO6 coverage' and the 2024 broker urged owners to review their own HO-6 with wind/hail - assume you must carry your own HO-6 (contents, loss of rents, liability, upgrades). Owners who cause damage pay any deductible gap. Spring 2026: board expected up to a 40-45% increase before learning property rates fell 24%; overall cost 'will still increase significantly'. DEED VS CERTIFICATE: Master Deed Art. XXVII(a) requires the Association's casualty policy to cover 'all of the UNITS, COMMON ELEMENTS and LIMITED COMMON ELEMENTS' at full replacement value, while the 2025 certificate describes the property policy as 'Walls In' - so in-unit finishes/upgrades and contents are, in practice, on the owner (Art. XXVI makes contents and in-unit liability insurance optional at the owner's expense). CASUALTY SHORTFALLS: Art. XXVII says that if proceeds are insufficient to repair damaged UNITS the Association levies the shortfall on the owners of the damaged units in proportion to their repair cost, and a shortfall on common elements is levied on all owners (first from reserves, then by assessment); with a $500,000 named-windstorm deductible a hurricane claim can therefore produce a unit-level assessment. Reconstruction is not compulsory if more than two-thirds of the property is destroyed (owners and mortgagees would then split proceeds). Institutional first mortgagees may approve the carriers and amounts. The flood declarations show zero prior NFIP claims and a Community Rating System discount. Audited insurance expense was $407,311 (2022) and $466,311 (2023) against insurance assessments of $400,239 and $487,185.
Wind deductible2025-26 property policy: $500,000 Named Windstorm and Hail per occurrence; $100,000 all other windstorm & hail per occurrence; $50,000 water damage per occurrence; $10,000 all other perils; 2% earthquake per unit per occurrence ($25,000 minimum). (2023-24 policy had named windstorm 3% subject to $100,000 minimum, other wind/hail $50,000.)
FloodNFIP RCBAP through American Bankers Insurance Company of Florida, policy term 5/28/2025-5/28/2026: $60,000,000 building limit and $100,000 contents, $1,250 deductible, total premium $43,226 (2023-24: $37,230); Flood Zone VE per the 2023 evidence of insurance; building is 'elevated with enclosure'. The broker told the 2024 annual meeting that owners on higher floors do not need their own flood policy. Declarations show 'Prior NFIP Claims: 0 claim(s)'.
DelinquencyFY2023 audit: allowance for doubtful accounts $61,639 at 12/31/2023 ($23,849 at 12/31/2022); net bad debt expense $36,927 (2023) and $23,849 (2022); assessments receivable net $15,585 at year-end 2023. Unaudited 1/31/2024: regular assessments receivable $89,270, homeowner repair receivables $12,665, insurance assessments receivable $10,434 (vs $152,968 receivable at 1/31/2023). Policy: legal counsel retained and liens placed at 90 days delinquent; foreclosure at 120 days; late fee $75 + $15, then $90/month; cable cut-off. Master Deed: default interest at the highest lawful rate or 10%, acceleration, lien foreclosure with receiver and rental recovery; purchaser at foreclosure not liable for prior delinquency (absorbed as common expense); voluntary grantee jointly liable for seller's unpaid assessments. Payment mechanics: assessments may be paid in monthly or quarterly installments (Rule Manual p.3); a quarterly payment is late unless RECEIVED AND POSTED at the lockbox in Las Vegas, NV by the last business day of the due month - hand-delivery to the local office on the last day does not avoid the late fee (Rule Manual p.4); Ally Management offers an ACH draft that also drafts the insurance assessment (Insurance Assessment Notice June 2025 p.2). Master Deed Art. XXX.G: payment is in default the day after the due date, the Board may accelerate the whole annual assessment on 10 days' notice, and enforcement (including foreclosure) may begin 20 days after the due date.
