Sea Pines CSA Annual Rental Registration Program Update

Sea Pines CSA Annual Rental Registration Fee Due September 1, 2023

In May of 2022, the Sea Pines CSA Board of Directors approved a recommendation from the Revenue Task Force to implement an Annual Rental Registration Program and associated fee. The program went into effect on January 1, 2023, for all residential property owners that rent their property (long or short term) at any time during the calendar year.

The 2023 fee structure is as follows:

This program and the associated annual fee will help increase and enhance our security, maintenance, and Community Standards management services, the need for which is in large measure due to the continued growth in the number of Residential Properties being held for renting or leasing.

The 2023 Annual Rental Registration Fee was invoiced on August 1, 2023, to Sea Pines Residential Property Owners who have their property registered with our Rental Registration Program, or their property is advertised on the internet as being available for rental purposes.

On Tuesday, August 1, 2023, invoices were sent to the primary email address on record with Sea Pines CSA and mailed to those property owners who do not have a primary email address on file. Full payment of this fee will be due by Friday, September 1, 2023.
