I'm a new resident, how do I get my gate access transponder and how much do they cost?
Each new resident is entitled to two (2) transponders at a current charge of $15.00 each. Each additional transponder and any lost or stolen transponders is a $25.00 charge.
To obtain a transponder, print out a copy of the Transponder Application on the home page of our website (coming soon), or you can simply pick up a copy at the guard house.

How much are Island Dues?
When are residents billed for Island Dues?
Each household is billed $2000 each year. Invoices are sent both via email and through the US Postal Service to the address of each property owner. Dues are billed annually in January and are due and payable on or before March 31.
Penalties for payments received after March 31st will include a late fee of 1% of the outstanding balance per month. If continued unpaid, the Homeowners Association reserves the right to impose a lien on the property for non-payment.
What do my island dues pay for?
Security is our largest expense and the largest single line item in our annual budget. Remaining capital is used for beautification, repairs and maintenance and other necessities. Copies of our annual budget are available to all property owners and can be obtained through our Treasurer or by contacting the Community Relations Coordinator.

Meetings are held approximately every six weeks and are open to all residents. Check the website to find out our meeting schedule.
