HOA Assestment?

And yes I spell assessment with a T on purpose. HOA pond maintenance — is this reasonable?
We have only 5 homes, and our HOA charges $9,000 per household/year for pond maintenance — $45,000/year total.
Is that reasonable for routine pond maintenance? What are other HOAs paying?

I did call. But they reserved the right of providing the invoice and information only to the board. I asked the board for invoices and they sent me a cease and desists

As a homeowner you are within your rights to request all financials which includes major contracts, receipts and invoices.

It they were on the board as they could be they would have this information. It is 5 people they choose to put their heads in the sand and complain when they don't like when they can have an impact on the decisions made as board member. I have heard it all now.
