Your monthly AOAO fees may seem high, but compared to other area condos of same unit sizes, they are average to low for typical association fees.  In fact, while it is normal to experience an increase on an annual basis, your Board of Directors managed to keep Kihei Shores fees from increasing from 2006-2010.  At the start of the 2010-11 budget year, an increase was budgeted in order to meet the increasing operating costs of the property, while maintaining a healthy reserve budget.

Your monthly AOAO fees contribute to the day to day Operating Costs of Kihei Shores, as well as to our Reserve Accounts.  Operating Costs include building exterior maintenance, grounds lighting & maintenance, landscape upgrades, pool & spa maintenance, pest control, security and on-call emergency assistance, as well as the Association's insurance policy.  A portion of each monthly fee goes into our Reserve Accounts for bigger projects in the coming years such as roofing, building painting, parking lot resurfacing, etc.

You have three options to make your monthly AOAO payment.  You can mail payments with your payment coupon attached.  You can drop your payment off at the Kihei Shores office.  You can sign up for SurePay automatic monthly payment system for payments direct from your bank account.  If you opt to sign up for SurePay, please complete the sign up form, attached a voided check, and return it to the Kihei Shores office or mail it to Maui Condo Services.  (see Contact for mailing address)

Each year the cost of services and supplies needed in our day to day operations increase.  As the cost of pest control, chemicals for the pool, insurance rates, & utilities go up, we need to adjust our monthly fees accordingly.  While no increase is ever welcome, and a decrease would obviously be welcomed by all, it is not a realistic expectation.  If the fees were not increased slightly to keep up with our operating and reserved costs, owners could be faced with a special assessment, which is much worse than a slight increase every year or so.
