Membership

*Attention as Assessments have increased recently.*

According to our By-Laws, Article 1, Section 3: “Any increase of fees, assessments, dues, and charges shall be determined by a majority of the Directors and then brought before the general membership attending any meeting for which due notice has been given. A majority vote of the members of the Corporation present will be needed to confirm the decision of the Board of Directors before any increase of fees, assessments, dues, and charges shall be imposed.”

A vote of the members present at a general membership meeting October 19, 2023 resulted in a $50 increase, bringing dues to $250 for 2024.

A vote of the members present at a general membership meeting October 17, 2024 resulted in a $50 increase, bringing dues to $300 for 2025.

Current Assessments are $300 Per Year.

 

Initiation Fee

The initiation fee per property is $300. The initiation fee is subject to forfeiture and will have to be repaid if the annual dues of the property address become 2 years in arrears beginning January 1st, 2022. The property initiation fee is transferable to new future owners as long as the membership annual dues are current and in good standing. The initiation fee is non-refundable.

Membership

Swan Lake has 3 types of annual memberships:

  • Active – $300 – Active members are property owners who pay the full annual membership fee entitling them to all lake privileges, including voting rights subject to our bylaws.
  • Conditional – $300 – Conditional members are owners whose properties abut Swan Lake property and have requested and received approval from the Board to purchase a membership.  They are entitled to all lake privileges but they do not have voting rights.
  • Associate - $300 - Associate Members are residents (renters) living at a membership property within Swan Lake Estates. They are entitled to all lake privileges but they do not have voting rights.

Membership fees are based upon the annual calendar year and are not pro-rated. If you have questions about your membership, contact us.

Late Fee

Assessments must be paid prior to March 15 each year. Assessments paid after March 15 are subject to a $30 late fee.
