Membership Club Dues
An annual assessment is paid each year at the end of December to Pelican Sound’s master association. The Club dues cover the upcoming year’s budgeted operational costs and replacement reserves.
Neighborhood Association’s Fee
Most associations have a quarterly condo fee which covers cost specific to that association; therefore, fees vary from neighborhood to neighborhood.
