Marone: Assessments meant for maintenance in Sun City
Posted
With all due respect to those who continually write and feel they deserve a reimbursement or portion of their recreation fee back because of the shutdown, please understand that the fee you pay is not a recreation “user fee” but rather a fee to maintain and operate the facilities.
It’s a property assessment fee that you agreed to pay when you purchased your home in Sun City. It was a condition of sale stated in the facilities agreement of the Recreation Centers of Sun City and is recorded in the office of Recorder of Deeds, Maricopa County, Arizona.
If you were to take the time to read the corporate bylaws, Article III, Section 1, you will read that you cannot exempt yourself from paying that fee simply because you don’t use the RCSC Facilities, and that’s why even single-occupancy residents and winter visitors pay the full assessment fee.
