Comments on: Survey results: Homeowner fees http://livingwithyourplane.com/2006/03/22/survey-results-homeowner-fees/ The nation's source for residential airparks Thu, 23 Feb 2012 20:07:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Mike Burlingham http://livingwithyourplane.com/2006/03/22/survey-results-homeowner-fees/comment-page-1/#comment-61 Mike Burlingham Tue, 18 Apr 2006 02:51:59 +0000 http://sgmedia.biz/airparks/?p=73#comment-61 I think the following was from my response; "A responder from an airpark with more than 65 home sites indicated they have a fee of $180 per year for homeowners plus $55 for runway use. This response didn’t indicate whether all property owners – those with and those without planes – had to pay the total of $235 per month." I need to clarify the comment. We have several different units in our community, one of which has a Home Owners Association. The fees in that area for strictly the "non aviation" aspects is $180/year. The airport portion of our community is owned and operated by a group of investors. They charge a fee to non investors residents using the airport facilities a fee of $55/month and a one time impact fee of $500. The operation of the airport is kept separate from the Homeowners portion of the community.

While our state does not allow property taxes to be levied on private runways open to the public, taxes on other facilities, grass cutting, plowing in northern areas and paving reserves would seem to take much more than typical fees.
