2021 Payment Plan
There are two different options for the Payment Plan this year - the same
three-installment plan as previous years (March 1, May 15, and July 15) and a new
five-installment plan (March 1, May 15, June 15, July 15, and August 15).
Early Signup Deadline for the Payment Plan is... Sunday, Jan. 31!
. . .

Any Payment Plans submitted between February 1 and February 25 will be charged an additional $25
Late Signup Fee per lot. 
ACH Signups Accepted through January 25
NEW - One-installment ACH signups for 2021 can be accepted any time prior to January 25. ACH payments are withdrawn from your checking or savings account on February 1 of each year. The full statement balance is paid in one installment with this option. The ACH authorization continues until the agreement is terminated in writing by either ACL or the Property Owner.

There is no charge for the one-installment ACH option.
