A receipt will be issued to the buyer upon the processing of the completed application and the "one-time" contribution to the Scenic Ridge Homeowners' Association Capital Fund at the current contribution rate (equal to one quarter (1/4) of the annual assessment at the time of the purchase) in addition to an Administrative Fee also equal to one quarter (1/4) of the annual assessment at the time of purchase.

See the resolution regarding the administrative fee.

In either option, the completed Transfer of Membership form and a payment option must be submitted to the Association before the closing.
