FAQ's

Q. Do I have to pay the home owner association (HOA) dues also known as the annual assessment income?
A. Yes, all owners are required to pay HOA dues on a semi-annual basis. The 2024 dues are $733.06 per year and $366.53 semi annually.

2) Online Bill Pay

If you prefer to use your bank's online bill pay service, please use your association's name as the payee/biller name and be sure to include your account number in the memo or remittance section. Don't forget to update the payment amount if your assessment rates change.

The payee address should be:

Glenshire Towne Homeowners Association
C/o Tidewater Property Management, Inc.
P.O. Box 1653
New York, NY 10008-1653

It is important to note that this method often results in a physical check being mailed to your bank. If this is the case, your payment will arrive without a remittance coupon which is crucial for speedy processing of payments. Payments received without a remittance coupon must be reviewed before posting which may delay posting several days. Please be sure to allow enough time for mailing and processing so as to not incur late fees. We recommend allowing for 7-10 business days for your payment to post to your account. 

3) Mail a Payment

If mailing a check, please send with a remittance coupon when at all possible. These coupons are printed with scan-line information specific to your account and ensure prompt and accurate posting of your payment. You will receive these either in a coupon booklet prior to the start of your association's fiscal year, or in statements sent 15-30 days prior to the due date. The annual budget will provide the payment amount.
Please be sure to include your account number and property address  on the check and allow enough time for mailing and processing so as not to incur late fees. We recommend allowing for 7-10 business days for your payment to post on your account.

The mailing address for payments is:
