SeaWorld Owners please include HOA info and season.

Our HGVC Maintenance Fee includes the following components:
- Operating Fee
- Reserve Fee
- Real Estate Taxes
- Club Dues
- Voluntary Arda & ROC/PAC (optional)

For Seaworld, there is an additional difference...There are two budgets at SeaWorld. One for Orlando Vacation Suites I (for phases 1 and 2) and the other for Orlando Vacation Suite II (for phases 3 & 4). "OSV I" MF is the same regardless of unit size and "OSV II" MF is based on unit size. For both, the Real Estate taxes seem to differ by season and unit size.

NOTE: I'm not sure if other HGVC locations have a similar difference regarding Real Estate taxes.

For Example:
Here's what poleary2000 posted in the Club Dues thread (see below). Based on polerary2000's older threads, he recently bought a two bedroom platinum. It appears poleary2000 owns in OSVII since his 2011 operating fee and reserve fee are the same as mine except for the Real Estate Taxes ($185.40 for two bdrm platinum vs $117.16 for two bdrm gold)

Mine shows:

Seaworld II 2 BR
Maintenance Fee and Tax Breakdown
Description Due Date Balance
2011 Operating Fee 01/01/11 $602.46
2011 Reserve Fee 01/01/11 $138.62
Real Estate Taxes 01/01/11 $185.40
2011 Club Dues 01/01/11 $114.00
Total Current Balance: $1,040.48


I just bought this and haven't used it yet. The MF last year were $855.21.

That's about a 8.5% increase in MF (not including the Club Dues).

Where do I find these fees?
I haven't seen a bill yet from HGVC.

When I log onto the website under Pay fees and taxes all I see is the $114 club fee.

I own Seaworld OVS II 2 BR platinum, so I can see from the posts above what I guess I will be paying, but it seems strange to me I haven't received any notice of this yet.

Hmm... it's strange that your Seaworld MF info isn't available online (unless you own a EOY-even) but there's still plenty of time.
I won't worry unless you still don't see anything by the end of Nov.

I wonder why the LV Hilton HOA wants another $80 to $100 more for their cash reserve funding than the Flamingo or LV Strip location? What do they know that the other two don't?

Flamingo just had an additional cost for upgrading for a couple of years, and the Strip location is new. I guess the LV Hilton want to make sure there is no additional fees when they start their upgrade.
To be honest, I'd rather pay a small extra fee each year, and then have the HOA stick to the budget in the reserve account when it is time to refunish, than to not have enough money for the refurb and the budget is going to topped up by one or two year additional fees anyhow so the budget gets a lot looser.

This represents a 5.8% increase overall (including Club Dues)

I agree. It makes me a little nervous that one HOA puts more aside for future needs than mine does. The LV strip location has more amenities and, with that more risk for a significant special assessment if the HOA hasn't set enough money aside.

Also, strip is still in active sales, so they try to low the MF to look better to potential buyers.

I own the same thing, and the total bill was $1278.90 last year.

So it looks like about a 3% increase over last year. Much better than last year's increase!

Looking back at what I was told about MF when I bought a few months ago, I compiled this --> http://db.tt/OET8AGm (download the file, don't wait for the site to say rendering). Again, I didn't know the breakdown thus put the entire total into the Operating Fee field. Even without Club Dues, this is an 8% increase. Is this typical? I definitely didn't factor in an annual increase of 8% into the financials when I bought. I assumed something more like 4%. What have you all seen?

The last couple of years has been high increases for me (Seaworld). I think last year it was about 12%! But this year it is only 3%.
