“Where do I pay my HOA dues?” is one of the most common questions in the community. This page collects the answer in one place.
What You Owe
Assessments are what fund everything the Association is responsible for — snow plowing, the roads, sidewalks, and streetlights the county does not maintain, groundskeeping of the common areas, insurance, common-area repairs, and the reserve fund that pays to replace those assets as they wear out. There is more on where the money goes on the welcome page and in the published meeting minutes .
Who Bills You
Billing and payment processing are handled by the Association’s property management company, J&M Management, not by the Board directly. J&M issues owner invoices and statements and maintains the account records.
If you did not receive an invoice or statement, the most likely cause is an out-of-date mailing address on file. Contact J&M Management to confirm you are on the correct mailing list, and consider signing up for electronic notices so future statements reach you reliably.
Your Rights on Payment
Washington’s Uniform Common Interest Ownership Act applies to Olympic Ridge. Under RCW 64.90.480 , the Association must make at least one method of paying assessments available to owners at no charge, or treat the cost of that method as a common expense. If every payment option presented to you carries a fee, ask — one of them should not.
You are also entitled to a statement of your account. Budget materials generally include assessment amounts and due dates, reserve contributions, and reserve study status. See the Washington compliance notes for what to expect on budgets, assessments, and payments.
If You Have Fallen Behind
Contact J&M Management or the Board before it escalates. Payment arrangements are routinely used and are a normal part of how associations handle this — several accounts in the community are already on them. Unpaid assessments accrue and can eventually become a lien against the property, which is worse for everyone than a conversation now.
Individual account details are confidential and are never discussed in the public portion of a board meeting or included in published minutes.
