Welcome To Mission Bay!

 Mission Bay Community Association represents your master association and is responsible for areas common to all ten communities - the Fitness Club, Tennis Center, main streets, lakes, landscaping, streetlights and signage. When you purchase a home here, you automatically become a member of the Club and are entitled to use the amenities. Mission Bay collects your quarterly maintenance assessments for maintenance of these areas, in the amount of $428.50 per quarter.  Payments are due on the first day of each quarter - January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1.  A statement is mailed to each owner approximately thirty days in advance of each due date.

New owners should receive documents (Protective Covenants and Bylaws) from the seller/agent at or before closing. There is a $50.00 charge for documents if the exchange is not made. Access cards are used to gain entry to the Club area and will be printed for new owners after all paperwork is processed and the home has closed.  New cards and Replacement Cards are $15.00 each.

There is an established collection procedure in place for unpaid maintenance assessments. After fifteen (15) days of the due date, a $25.00 late charge is posted to the account; at thirty (30) days, the account is sent to the Association's legal firm for collection. This is when additional fees get expensive for the homeowner. All of the collection steps have fees attached to them, so we kindly ask that your payments be prompt. Should your address change or you leave the area to travel, it is your responsibility to notify the administration office of any forwarding address.

Club amenities information can be obtained from the administration office. There are a variety of excellent fitness classes available to residents, along with a top-notch tennis facility. Basic television cable service is included in your quarterly maintenance assessment. Should you desire premium channels or have problems with your cable, please contact Comcast Cable directly, 561-266-2278.

When you plan to make exterior improvements to your property, you must make architectural application and receive approval before the work begins. This includes but is not limited to, pool/spa installation, roof replacement, painting, landscaping changes, satellite dish installation, addition of patio, screen enclosure and more. There is a standard form that must first be processed through your village association for approval, then it proceeds to Mission Bay Community Association for review. The application can be obtained from the Mission Bay office (Note: Form is downloadable from this web site) or your sub-association property management office. Please follow the directions on the application.

Owners in the communities of The Isle, Laguna, Las Flores, Reflections, Regatta, Sonata and Ventura should receive similar items listed above from their respective village association. Residents of these villages belong to two associations - the village homeowners association and Mission Bay Community Association. There are two separate maintenance assessment payments, as well as different management companies.

Should you have questions concerning your account or if you require assistance with other master association matters, please call us at 561-479-1900 during business hours. Enjoy your new home in Mission Bay.
