Editing this 2017mf thread to include all the HGVC resorts for reference! (shamelessly stealing the work of SUEDONJ here ;) )


* Please limit this thread to only the MF specifics and take discussions/commentary to the discussion boards. Thank you! :)

* Owners, please report your Weeks MF's as they are billed (NOT proposed/estimated) in this format:
  • Resort Name/Unit Size (include Season if it's a differential)
  • Operating Fee
  • Replacement Reserve
  • Property Taxes (or note if they're billed separately)
  • Developer Subsidy (where it exists)
  • Special Assessment (where it exists)
  • TOTAL
  • Increase/decrease over 2016 MF's whether in dollar or percentage value (because I don't blame anybody who doesn't want to do the math!)


The 2016 MF thread has been unstuck and can be found here.
The 2015 MF thread can be found here.
The 2014 MF thread can be found here.
The 2013 MF thread can be found here.

The 30 2017 HGVC Resorts with the lowest MFs can be found here.

Looks like our club dues have gone up from $150 to $159. Nothing else has been posted yet though.

yes i can confirm i just saw this in my account as well.
 
So I guess $9 from each of the 200,000 owners should be plenty enough to pay for their wonderful new website in the first year.
 
A 6 percent increase... for What... I find it a little rediculouse that they raise the club fee and reservations fee every year by more than inflation with no explanation.

Thanks for the info.

One thing i don't understand for last year and maybe this year also. Last year a 1br at the flamingo was: 1008$ including club dues excluding club dues they would be: 858$. A 2br is only 951$ thats only 93$ more. How come the spread between the two aren't greater?

For comparison the MF at the Hgvc at on the strip is more than 200$ between a 1br and a 2br. IMHO this also seem more "fair" than just 93$.

Any thoughts?

It's based on the resort's Declaration Document.

Flamingo was the 1st HGVC Developer built Resort as a result it's setup a little differently than the others such as no ROFR and a different method for calculating annual maintenance fees. For example, my HHV Lagoon tower Declaration document specifically states that the average square footage is used in their formula.

I sold my SeaWorld week in 2015 but here's my MF history

Maintenance Fees for HGVC SEAWORLD (OSII) Two Bedroom Gold (5,000 points) from 2003 to 2015
(HOA: Orlando Vacation Suites II Condominium Association, Inc)

There are two budgets at SeaWorld. One for Orlando Vacation Suites I (for phases 1 and 2) and the other for Orlando Vacation Suite II (for phases 3 & 4).
"OSV I" MF is the same regardless of unit size and "OSV II" MF is based on unit size. For both, the Real Estate taxes differ by season and unit size.

My club dues are higher because I'm billed the international fee.:annoyed:

Without club dues the total is:594.75
 
I got 3 (yeah, gotta dump that 3400 point unit), but not really sure which contract (except the one) is which unit and season (is that on the paperwork somewhere?) Anyway:


Edited below on 10/22/16 as I dug up the paperwork and it's a 3 BR Gold.

I left the club dues in because it is a fee, as far as I'm concerned even if it's randomly assigned to one of my contracts. If I only had one, I'd still have to pay the $159 every year, so it's a fee, and should be counted, IMO.

I think this puts my total points/fee at $0.169 or $0.17. I believe last year is was $0.168

I have to put these in a spreadsheet. haha

Las Vegas Strip - 2 BR gold (?) - 5000 points
2017 Reserve Fee 01/01/17 $197.80
2017 Operating Fee 01/01/17 $595.54
2017 Real Estate Taxes 01/01/17 $28.49
Total Current Balance: $821.83


I left the club dues in because it is a fee, as far as I'm concerned even if it's randomly assigned to one of my contracts. If I only had one, I'd still have to pay the $159 every year, so it's a fee, and should be counted, IMO.

I think this puts my total points/fee at $0.169 or $0.17. I believe last year is was $0.168

I have to put these in a spreadsheet. haha

1st one is probably a 3 bedroom gold, which is 7,000 pts, because MFs are higher than your 2 bedroom gold.

I think the reason many of us strip out the club dues and arda roc isn't because it doesn't "count" but because you only pay it for one contract, even if you own multiple units, so it throws off the metric if you're trying to compare what you're paying at one property versus another.
 
i didn't add my club fees cause am not from USA so i am charged $199... i just didn't want to cause a mess for anyone
