Default Amenity Fee Increase.

Just received our amenity fee increase. From $133.51 to $137.14. Any other numbers out there. Progression looks like this:

$125.00 2006
128.12 2007
133.37 2008
133.51 2009
137.14 2010

Any other numbers?

Still a great place to live.

I assume that all rise based on some standard? Looks a COLA at 2.72% for this year.

Ours actually went down last year, $2.91. It recalculates in September. Looks like we can expect an increase this year, though (looks like that's what yours did). It is tied to the GPI.

Ours was $135 last year and is now $134.75. So there was no across the board increase.

This is nothing new. Check your deed restrictions section 4. Your amenity fees will go up by the CPI every year on the month you signed for the property. If you look at your VCDD Utilities bill it tells you when your amenity fees will go up.

Mine states: Amenity Charge AMN Next calculation date 05/01/2010.

This is not a mystery raise in amenity fees.
