I do not think we should include Property Tax when calculating the maintenance fee increase because:

1. Property Tax varies based on individual owner's purchase price.
2. Property Tax increases are limited by Prop 13.

$1007.07 / $961.11 = 1.0478 --> 4.8% ($45.96) Increase

And for comparison purposes, my property taxes:
$58.64 / $57.08 = 1.0273 --> 2.7% ($0.56) Increase

If you isolate out just the operating fee, the increase is ~5%.

Moderator Note: I'm leaving this post here because it's a good explanation of why/how the different Property Taxes (for same-week Owners at certain resorts) affects the percentage amount of MF increases. Further discussion about this issue should be taken to the discussion forums. (See this thread.) Thank you. <-- SueDonJ

I don't think your amounts are correct. They should be:
Operating Fee: $868.05
Reserve Fee: $475.05
Total : $1343.10 up 4.5% over the prior year (2013) of $1285.30

Housekeeping and Front Desk are included in fee paid to Marriott; property taxes are billed from and paid directly to the County of Riverside and are not included (Approx $110)

European Extra Costs

For my Destination Points as previously posted the cost per interest is $112.50, but we also have to pay VAT (Value Added Tax) for properties we own in France and Spain, cost is $13.94 and $11.20. In addition there is a levy of $34.50 as an "International Owner", so just over $60 extra. Our Premier Club dues are $215

Waiting for other European fees and will post when received

Last year's increase was a little over 5%. While some people might think four and five percent increases are okay. The fees have increased almost $100 in two years. IMO that is not something to be happy about.
