WKORV 2Bd Deluxe Summary
(I realize that the details are above)

2021: $3,369.88
(3.0% higher than 2019 - there was a tax rebate for 2020)

2020: $2,733.26
2019: $3,271.34

Can’t wait to return - tons of banked SOs to use. Sucks that I had to give up OF SOs (and WSJ SOs) then have to use within VSN. Got lucky with WPORV with our odd year ownership.
Those are all in the high VSE MFs tier.
Oh well... minor issue comparatively.

I’m not going to pay the second $155. Nobody at vistana is answering the phone. I’m going to start writing. Who should I write to?

Sheraton Vistana Villages - 1 BR (not premium) Key West Prime Season - Annual
2021 Maintenance Fee - $523.82
2021 Real Estate Tax - $92.95
2021 Total - $616.77

Didn't get the e-Statement yet, so I don't have a breakdown of the operating assessment and reserves.

From the budget included with my 2 BR SVV Bella:

Sheraton Vistana Villages - 1 BR Bella - Annual

2021 OPERATING ASSESSMENT - $425.91
2021 REPLACEMENT RESERVES - $117.22
2021 ESTIMATED REAL ESTATE TAX - $95.84 Prime/$80.56 not Prime
2021 TOTAL - $638.97 Prime/$623.69 not Prime

Sheraton Vistana Villages - 2 BR Lockoff

2021 OPERATING ASSESSMENT - $1,189.07
2021 REPLACEMENT RESERVES - $328.21
2021 ESTIMATED REAL ESTATE TAX - $168.54 Prime/$142.62 not Prime
2021 TOTAL - $1,685.82 Prime/$1,659.90 not Prime

Estimated real estate taxes for the 2 BR Bella non-lockoff High season are $118.34 vice the $142.90 as listed by @dioxide45 above, making the total 2021 for those $1,289.24.

Sorry; mine is a Prime, but I was listing the High season tax amount I found on the budget. Edited my post to fix that. Thanks!

That is a pretty drastic drop in real estate taxes.

Kinda salty it went up at all considering how closed that resort has been and the very low occupancy as noted by @dioxide45 and others.

RE: One Ohana and Charitable Trust-It has been a long year but I seem to remember that before it was $10. I paid it for a couple of the units but not all. Now it has changed to $20 and the ** notation indicates that $10 is optional. So now $10 is mandatory and the other $10 optional? Or did they fail to correct the ** to $20? Thanks for the help, I read this post and there is nothing mentioned.

I suspect they failed to update the notation.

Can anyone help me determine the 2021 Maintenance Fee for a 1-bedroom at WKORV? There's nothing in the database. Thanks!

Could you help us novices (at least as far as Westin St. John). Resort Season and Diamond Season are not shown on the StarOptions charts. What are those seasons as reflected in the StarOptions charts for Westin St. John? (Gold Plus, Platinum, Platinum Plus)
Thanks!

Happy New Year!
I just noticed that we are billed $50 membership fee for our Kierland ownership and $155 for the Harborside one. I haven't been looking at the breakdown of the fees (not an excuse). Are we supposed to be paying the 2 separate fees? Are those SVN membership fees?
Thank you!

Yes, that is correct. $155 VSN fee for your first week and $50 for the second. Every week after the second has no additional VSN fees.
