I think this came up under Closing issues thread in the Meritage folder but I'd like to make it a general topic for discussion.

My assumption is we will all be charged the same HOA related fees at closing. One thing I haven't noticed in other discussions, but that my builder outlined in the list below I received, is a resale transfer fee. Anyone else already closed get charged this?

HOA related fees:
Mueller Mixed-Use Association Assessment (Paid by Buyer) - $480 per year total (sounds like 2 months at closing)
Resale Transfer Fee (Paid by Buyer) - $150.00
Community Assessment Fee (Paid by Seller) – 0.0025 (1/4 of 1%) of the total purchase price of the Residence
Working Capital Fee (Paid by Buyer) - $200.00

We are closing tomorrow (YEA!) and our HUD states that we are paying:

Assessments (1/25/2008 to 4/1/2008) - $87.87
HOA Working Capital Fee - $200

The Seller (Meritage) is paying:

HOA Transfer Fee - $235
Mueller Community Assesstment Fee - (1/4 of 1%)

So the transfer fee is not something we are paying.

Mueller Community Assesstment Fee - (1/4 of 1%)

Assessments (1/25/2008 to 4/1/2008) - $87.87
