Assessments and fees

For 2026 the Fairfield Glade Community Club charges $137 a month on homes with sewer and trash service, up $17 from the year before. A one-time amenity reserve fee of $6,000 is also charged at closing, raised from $5,000. Buyer and seller can negotiate who pays; the contract should say. The member discount at Club food and beverage outlets is gone. 1 2

• Monthly assessment, 2026 $137 Homes with sewer and trash service.
• Increase over 2025 +$17 a month An additional $204 across the year.
• Assessment across twelve months $1,644 The monthly figure multiplied by twelve.
• Amenity reserve fee at closing $6,000 One time at closing. Buyer and seller can negotiate who pays. It was $5,000 before the 2026 budget.
• Member food and beverage discount Eliminated Members pay the same prices as everyone else.

These figures apply to homes receiving sewer and trash service. Other property classes are assessed differently, and those rates aren't recorded here yet.

Two budget years are recorded below. The series starts at 2025 because that's as far back as this page can source a figure, and an unsourced number is worse than a missing one. Earlier years get added as they're verified.

† The 2025 monthly figure is derived, not separately reported: it is the reported 2026 rate of $137 less the reported increase of $17. Where a row says a figure was reported, it was reported. Where it says derived, the arithmetic is shown so you can check it.

2025

The rate in force before the 2026 budget was approved.

2026

Approved unanimously on December 1, 2025, built around losing what Wyndham and the timeshare associations had been contributing.

The board approved the 2026 budget unanimously on December 1, 2025. 2 Three things moved.

For a buyer, the two that matter most arrive at different times. The assessment is a monthly obligation for as long as you own. The amenity reserve fee lands once, at closing, on top of everything else you're paying that week. It's the one people forget to budget for.

Wyndham pulled out and the timeshare associations began winding down. They had been contributing $2.55 million a year, about 11% of Community Club revenue, and the 2026 budget was built around losing it. 3 4 Club Wyndham's timeshare operations at Fairfield Glade were to close by the end of 2025. 5

A gap that size doesn't close itself. The 2026 budget closed it from three directions at once: the monthly assessment, the fee charged to incoming buyers, and a discount members no longer get. The board called the exit a wake-up call. 1

The full account of the Wyndham exit covers what happened, what the Club said about it, and what it means if you're deciding whether to buy.

Community Club budgets are approved for the year ahead at the start of December. The 2026 budget was approved on December 1, 2025. 2 If you want to know what you'll be paying next year, that's the meeting to follow.

Most of what gets written about assessments online is written once and never touched again, so a search in January turns up numbers from three budgets ago presented as current. The date stamp on this page tells you which kind of number you're reading.

A special assessment is a one-off charge levied on owners outside the normal budget, usually when something large has to be paid for and the reserves won't cover it. It's the risk people are really asking about when they ask whether the fees are going up.

The board presented the 2026 budget as structured to remove reliance on unpredictable outside parties and to avoid the risk of future special assessments, and said it had deliberately left out any income it might get from reselling the former timeshare units rather than counting on money it did not yet have. 1

That's the board's position, reported accurately. Treat it as a stated intention rather than a promise, since no one here knows what a future board will face. What's certain is only that the 2026 budget was built without leaning on a sale that hasn't happened.

Three things a prospective buyer will want that are not yet recorded here: assessment figures before 2025, the rates for property classes other than homes with sewer and trash service, and the annual cost of the golf and amenity tiers. Each is marked above where it belongs.

Marks like those stay visible on purpose. A page that quietly rounds its gaps away is asking to be trusted on the parts you can't check.
