What's covered in the monthly fees?
An extensive array of core services, real estate taxes, and insurance. Additionally, residents are responsible
for electricity, telephone, water and propane – which Avalon purchases in bulk (ex. 2009-2010 - $1.499/gallon locked in).
Who determines the monthly fees?
The board of directors and Avalon Management set the fees.
What is the governance structure?
Avalon Village is governed by a five member board of directors comprising three resident shareholders and two
representatives of Avalon Management.
If I sell my cottage, do I keep the equity?
YES.
What is the process for selling?
Cottages are priced by the board with recommendations by Avalon Management in consultation with shareholders. Avalon
Management through its contract with the owner's association has exclusive rights to sell and maintain a marketing
program and list of prospective residents.
Who is responsible for daily operations and maintenance?
Avalon Management.
Are pets allowed?
We welcome pets and have policies to make pet ownership enjoyable for all.
Can I keep my RV or boat on site?
We have limited space to store small boats, RVs, or campers.
Am I allowed to make modifications to my cottage?
We understand that residents like to create their own unique environment. With management approval, interior modifications
are allowed, and in some cases, exterior items, such as tree planting or garden beds. Vegetable garden beds are available
in the community gardens as well.
What happens if I have a major structural issue or need substantial repairs?
One of the great advantages of common interest communities such as Avalon Village is that these issues are already planned
for, through the reserve fund and insurance.
Can I make any tax deductions for real estate taxes paid?
Each year Avalon Management provides a statement indicating the amount of monthly fees allocated to paying real estate taxes.
