Upcoming Assessments and Fees:

Regular Monthly Assessment: Effective March 1, 2025, the monthly assessment will increase by $18.00 per unit, from $657.00 to $675.00.

Special Assessment: A 5% Special Assessment has been approved based on the original 2025 annual assessments. The total amount of $394.00 per unit is due by March 1, 2025. However, homeowners have the option to pay in two installments, with the final payment due no later than April 1, 2025.

Why the Board has to Raise the Fees?

We understand that no one, including the board, wants another increase in the HOA fees—We are all already feeling it in our wallets. Unfortunately, rising costs have left us with no choice. Key factors for having to make this decision include:

  • The latest 33% increase in the Baywatch water bill imposed by the city.
  • Increased repairs and maintenance needs of our aging community.
  • The rising cost of repair materials and labor across the board due to inflationary factors.
  • And finally, the fact that the HOA fees were not adjusted for inflation in 2023–2024 and now we have to catch-up with our finances.

    • As disappointed as we all are about these increases, they are necessary to keep Baywatch running smoothly and ensure that essential services, such as water and maintenance, continue without disruption. As a reminder, All members also have full access to all Baywatch Financial Records and Statements through Optimum User Portal.


    We appreciate your understanding and support as we work together to maintain our community to the best possible standards.

  • Beautiful Cyclamen Flowers: GS Brothers Landscaping generously provided 40 premium Cyclamen flowers, valued at $1,664, at no cost to the HOA. These vibrant additions enhance the planters by the front gate and the pool area, adding much needed color and vibrance during this holiday season.
    UPCOMING LANDSCAPING PROJECTS:

  • Grass Restoration: The grassy areas along Capitol Drive and near the pool will be overseeded with fescue seed to address patchy spots. This service is included at no additional charge. Some planters will also be hand-cleaned to avoid disrupting mulch, ensuring a polished and well-maintained look.

  • Irrigation Repairs: The GS Brothers conducted a community wide inspection of the Baywatch irrigation system. Their proposal includes system improvements such as repairing broken lines, installing new components (pipes, controllers, sprinkler heads), and integrating the system with existing valve zones. The work also involves flushing, testing, and optimizing the system for performance. Site restoration and a one-year warranty are included. We are in the process of scheduling a date for this major project. This project is currently on hold.

We thank everyone who participated in the survey and contributed to the success of this project.

    Additional Community Enhancements


  • Solar Pool Umbrellas: The old, worn-out umbrellas have been replaced with new ones featuring 10” LED lights. This improvement, costing only $200+ in total, is a modest yet significant enhancement for the pool area.

  • Looking Ahead to 2025: Exciting plans for 2025 are already in motion, including:
