What is included in association fees for homes?

Your association 'earns' its income to pay its bills from owners' assessments. Every association is different from every other association, in terms of the bills it pays for services.

Typically, assessments cover master insurance policy premiums, common area utilities, association management expenses, professional fees, asset maintenance, preservation and security, and depending on your community's amenities, more.

Your association manager or your treasurer can show you what your assessments cover.
