I don't understand why the Harborside fees haven't been sent/updated. Their annual meeting was earlier this year--in September I think--last year it was much later--early December is my recollection and fees due in January==which was much earlier as they used to be due in February.
It seemed last year it was due earlier to try and catch those who weren't paying and still using their weeks at the beginning of the year. So I don't get why they aren't out yet.
Just checked Star Central and still not posted.

FYI
MSC has changed the 'Pay Maintenance Fees' link to 1) 'View Maintenance Fee Details And Make Payments', and 2) 'View Your Maintenance Fee Statement Online'

The 2nd (e-statements) allows download of a HTML or PDF file of the MF bill and the Appoved Budget Details.

Westin Kierland Villas Annual 2 BR L/O: $1216.08+SVN Fee

Westin Kierland Villas Annual 2 Bedroom Lock-Off 2011 Maintenance Fees (Less ARDA and SVN Fee) Are:

Maintenance Fee(s) $ 1,173.50
Tax - If Applicable $ 42.58
Membership Fee - If Applicable $ 0.00
Other* $ 0.00
Interest $ 0.00
Late Fees $ 0.00
ARDA ROC PAC Contrib.** $ 0.00 (Voluntary, so I substracted the $5)
Sub-Total
Current Year Charges $ 1,216.08
Less Payments*** $ 42.57 (Strange, I don't recall making any payments, but SVO's high tech computer system must know best).

Total Due $ 1,173.51 (for me only. Everyone else owes $1216.08, and it is due on January 7, 2011)

This is a $21.22 (1.71%) DECREASE over last year's maintenance fee (less ARDA and SVN Fee).

Including the SVN Fee:

If one includes the $10 increase in the base SVN fee (From $109 last year to $119 this year), and an owner only owned this one 2 Bedroom L/O at WKV, the total fees, including the $119 SVN fee less the voluntary ARDA fee, are $1335.08 (which is $11.22 (0.83%) less than last year).

These fees were just posted on mystarcentral today.

Interesting about that tax(?) "deduction" because I don't see the "deduction" on my statement. I have the following:


Maintenance Fee(s) $ 1,173.50
Tax - If Applicable $ 42.58
Membership Fee - If Applicable $119
Other* $ 0.00
Interest $ 0.00
Late Fees $ 0.00
ARDA ROC PAC Contrib.** $ 0.00 (Voluntary, so I substracted the $5)
Sub-Total
Current Year Charges $ 1335.08


But to correct what you said, weren't last year's fees (including SVN and without ARDA) $1346.40? (I actually prepaid this amount to borrow options). That's what it looks like too from this post. So the total went down by about $11, or less than 1%...

Oops. My calcs were comparing the differences between the 2009 and 2011 maint fees and I had assumed that everyone was getting free money from SVO's computer system. I've fixed it above. -nodge

2-br - WKV annual

2010 Total - $1,237.30 (w/o ARDA; w/o SVN)

2011 Total - $1,173.51 (w/o ARDA; w/o SVN)

Actually, the resort MF increased by $6. But, the total went down because the taxes went down from $58.30 in 2010 to $42.58 in 2011. ... eom

Here's another benefactor of the free $42.57 from SVO's computer system. Any other WKV owners willing to fess-up to getting it, or at least let us know that you didn't get it, so we can figure out if it is an error on SVO's part, a refund of the taxes, or something else?

I am not sure I understand... Based on what I wrote above it looks like you are quoting the "pure" MF number (no SVN, no ARDA, and no tax). This looks to have gone down by $60.

Are you sure this is "apples to apples"?

Dan, ... I think nodge is correct in his guess. IMO, the offset is most likely a refund of taxes paid in prior years but found to be excessive and refunded.

In any event, it's an amount I don't have to pay. And, something the IRS will probably never find. ... eom

2011 Maintenance Fee = $720.37
2011 Tax = $23.09
2011 Sub-Total = $743.46

[Payment Refund = $13.27*]
*Payments include both owner and developer payments made
I assume that this has to do with taxes since the new tax is close to this reduction considering last years' tax.

2010 MF was $723.74 (so a decrease in MFs of $3.37 => 0.47%)
2010 Tax was $34.02

Added - what is strange is the payment refund is different for the 2 weeks (equilvalent) we own. The 2nd week is giving me a payment refund of the entire 2010 tax. :confused:
