Springs at Stone Oak HOA Assessment Payment Late

The Springs at Stone Oak HOA's first of two assessment payments for 2020 was due on July 1, 2020 and late if not received by Hill Country HOA Management Company on or before July 30, 2020.  The statement for this payment was sent by Hill Country by e-mail on June 15 to Springs homeowners who have registered their e-mail address with Hill Country, and was also delivered to all Springs homeowners by postal mail on June 20.

The assessment amount is $429 per lot.  Payment may be made on-line at the Hill Country Management's Homeowner Portal website or by mail to:

Helotes, Texas 78023.

Payments not received on or before July 30, 2020 will incur a late fee of $25.00 and an initial 12% per annum interest charge of approximately $4.29, resulting in a revised payment due of $458.29 on July 31, 2020.  Additional late fees ($50 2nd delinquent month, $100 per delinquent month thereafter) and interest charges are assessed every subsequent 30 days the assessment is not paid in full.

Payment in full is requested, however, if you are unable to do so, a payment plan may be requested and must be approved by the Springs HOA and homeowner prior to July 30, 2020.  Only written requests for payment plans will be accepted and can be requested by completing a Payment Plan Request on the Hill Country Homeowners Association Management website (click HERE).  Interest charges continue to accrue during the payment plan's execution, but late charges are not assessed as long as the payment plan is active.  Hill Country Management does not charge a monthly fee for administering an approved and active payment plan.
