Timberline Special Service District

 

NOTICE:

The Timberline Special Service District State Charter allows for the assessment of TLOA property owners in order to provide the necessary resources for the TSSD to maintain the roadways in the TLOA. It has come to our attention from Summit County that increasing the assessment for road maintenance needs to follow Utah law.

 

It is important to note that the TLOA, as an association, is governed by the regulations outlined in Title 57 of the Utah Code. Similarly, the Timberline Special Service District is under the jurisdiction of Summit County and the State of Utah. As such, the TSSD is required to comply with all applicable laws and regulations in Section 17B-1-307 of the Utah Code requires that assessments for certain types of special service districts be made in accordance with a uniform rate or formula that is based on the benefits received by each property owner. The law in Utah that governs uniform assessments for homeowner associations (HOAs) can be found in Chapter 6 of Title 57 of the Utah Code. Specifically, the section that pertains to uniform assessments in Section 57-8-3.1.

 

Overall, Sections 57-8-3.1 and 17B-1-307 of the Utah Code play an important role in ensuring that Special Service Districts or HOAs in Utah assess and collect fees from their members in a fair and consistent manner.

 

For the 2024 TSSD budget, the Board approved a uniform annual rate of $1060.65 per lot if paid by April 1st as the source of revenue for the 116 members of the TLOA. After April 1st, there is an 8% penalty added. We appreciate your concern and want to assure you that we are committed to adhering to all legal requirements related to the assessment and collection of fees for road maintenance within the TLOA.
