By this time, you would have received the year's end update along with lot dues for 2026. That IS being mailed out this week, but the lengthy delay was due to an absence of an electronic data base of lot owners that was never provided, even after repeated requests. The new board had to recreate a digital copy from a lone paper form of lot owners, a time-consuming effort done by David Stiles with Keith Patton's help. At least from here forward, ACAHOA will have digital files that are easily transferrable for the future. David has done a yeoman's job not only of creating the database but digging through Haywood GIS and sketching out properties and related information, which will be added into database files. It's been a slog, but an appreciated (and needed) slog.
In the update, you will see the adjusted lot dues has been lowered back to $300 per lot, down from the $500 adjustment in 2024 for Hurricane Helene's damage to ACA roads. For a second year in a row, paving has not been performed due to the remaining backlog of post-Helene paving on the part of our paving company. With $39,000 already ear-marked for 2026, our backlogged paving work will be completed. Should winter weather decide to dump on us this season, our coffers will sustain us, with the weather pattern continuing to be, well, strange. As I type it's 11 degrees at home, but the cold dissipates after 24-36 hours this go-round. This, after our very mild "Christmas at the Coast" temperatures last week.
We (the new board) ask you to please update your dues form with any address, name, phone, email, etc. changes you may have, so that we can put the final touches on our digital files. It would be greatly appreciated. :-)
This blog is for my longer informational posts, be it ACA concerns or more in-depth weather 'heads up' notices, etc . Our Facebook page is for timely, quick communications, especially with respect to road conditions or other real-time concerns. You can go HERE to link to it.
Cheers in advance to the new year ahead...even if it becomes Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.
