Unfortunately we all signed something stating we would pay association dues. Maybe we should get a monthly or quarterly newsletter just keeping us updated about things. Some areas are upwards of $100 a month for association dues, so I think the dues here are fair. This was a decision we had to make when we bought our home. Our realtor, who is very experienced, really explained things to us and did say to expect the dues to raise over time. We decided to buy here. There were many other neighborhoods to build in around Bondurant that did not have dues.
