Check and Money Order Payments - If paying by check or money order, please note the following:
• Make your check payable to Elm Creek Homeowners Association
• Notate your customer ID on your check/money order (the 16 digit account number beginning with R)
• If you own multiple units or lots, pay one unit/lot per check/money order to assure proper payment application
• Include your payment coupon or statement with your check/money order to assure proper payment application
Credit Card Payments - Assessment payments may be made via Credit card through the Resident Portal; simply select the One Time Payment option and enter the appropriate information. However, please note there is a convenience fee charged by the bank for credit card payments, typically based on a percentage of the payment amount. This is a pass-through charge the credit card companies assess the banks for their service; while retailers can pass these costs on to you through the cost of service and/or merchandise, community associations cannot. Therefore, the credit card fee must be paid by the individual homeowners who choose to pay via this option.
Electronic Check (e-Check) Payments - You may also make your assessment payments via Electronic Check through the Resident Portal. There is no fee to process an e-Check payment.
Online Bill Pay - If paying through your bank’s bill pay service, please note that the day your bank debits your account is not the same day the funds are sent to your association. Many banks still need to cut and mail a paper check to the association’s bank. That check is often unaccompanied by a coupon, necessitating manual processing upon receipt. Please be certain to allow sufficient time for these additional processes, which will delay receipt and application of your payment, and could cause late fees to be incurred (i.e., approximately 10 days prior to the due date) and ask your bank to include your account number on their check.
ACH (Automated Clearing House) - The ACH program is one of the most cost-effective and reliable methods of making your assessment payments. Once you enroll, each assessment will be automatically deducted from your designated bank account on the 1st of each quarter. You no longer need to write a check, spend money on paper checks & postage, or incur late fees due to lost or forgotten payments. You can enroll in ACH by logging onto the Resident Portal at www.realmanage.com and signing up for “Recurring Payments.”
