HOA Dues
Association Fees are $75.00 per year. These fees pay expenses for community maintenance and improvements. So if any of you are wondering why certain improvements have not been made it is more than likely due to delinquent Association Fees. 20% percent of the homeowners in Idlewild are delinquent! Per the Restrictive Covenants a 10% finance charge will also be assessed. If you have any questions, please contact Frank Shuler.
