Thinking about buying another unit to use as a II/extra StarOption trader ... trying to get an idea what the maintenance fees are.

Probably going to look for a biennial.

The database is lacking for 2019 info ... also are taxes included in fees or paid to state separate?

I trust TUG more than Redweek :)

Glad you trust TUG.

@needvaca had the numbers pretty close....

Maintenance costs: 658.71 + 85.63 taxes = $744.34 paid every other year
That's Key West L/O 95,7 EOY Annual MF is $1488.67...taxes might vary.
I've also seen other reports of Bella L/O and KW L/O at $1516 and $1458.62. Go figure. Different taxes? ARDA fees included? VSE membership fee added on? Who knows.
In any case.....I think it's close enough for your purposes. I don't have the bill.....but this is based on data I received associated with a purchase contract.

Vistana membership fee is due every year
$145 for the first week
$ 50 for the second week
$ 0 for the third week

So, for the EOY ownership:

$744.34 MF including taxes every year
$145 VSE membership fee every year (or $50 if it's your second, $0 if it's your third ownership)
$ -- EOY ownership fee every year--none at SVV (thanks @dioxide45 )

My best guess...maybe a current 2019 owner will report. Again, the $744.34 might have some other fee aggregated, but I don't have the document to examine.
I was originally told that the MF's on the L/O would be in the high $16xx's each annual year, but there have been increases plus the $60 EOY fees, so the above may be correct.

Hope it helps.

There is no $30 EOY fee at SVV.

This is what I paid in 2019 for the SVV-Bella 2BD LO (95,700 SOs) I own:

Maintenance Fees $ 1,356.69
Tax $ 159.62
TOTAL $ 1,516.31 - all paid to Vistana

So it would be about $758.16 for a biennial ownership. My VSN fees are paid through my other VOIs.
