The $50 fee is and always has been for the resident ID. The owners have to turn in their ID cards and you are issued a paper ID card that states you are a resident. You then have all the rights and privileges of being a homeowner.
So, if you paid the $50 and were denied access because the room was near capacity, it meant one of two things -- either the individual at the rec center misread your card and thought you were a guest or the homeowner pocketed the $50 and simply had a guest ID card issued to you. If you picked your ID card up at a rec center or if it was given to you by the homeowner or his/her agent, then you had a guest ID. If you picked it up at the Sales Office, you had a resident ID.
BTW -- It doesn't matter who rents you the property -- owner or agent. What does matter is where you get the ID card.
