Introduction and Information You Need
Muirfield Association is pleased to announce a partnership with Alliance Association Bank (AAB). Alliance Association Bank was chosen because they have developed a national banking program that works exclusively with common interest communities and is designed to meet the needs of HOAs. AAB offers safe, secure methods of payment, including the ability to pay online by eCheck, debit or credit card. In addition, they have extended support hours to assist with making payments on their site.
As a result of the change to AAB, your invoice will have a new look and there's some very important information you’ll need if you are paying online:
Management Company ID: 8086 (same for everyone)
Association ID: MUIR (same for everyone)
Account Number: Your lot number (different for everyone). Enter it exactly as shown.
It is critical to include this information to ensure proper posting to your account. See image below.
What to Expect in the Mail or Email
Residents on paper communications should look for a regular business-size white envelope. The envelope will include your invoice and a return envelope. Contact the office if you have not received your invoice by February 1.
Residents will receive an email, This email may initially look like spam to you. The email will come from Muirfield Association. Viewing your invoice or downloading it will require that a PDF reader (such as Adobe Acrobat, which is free) is installed on your computer. Check your spam and deleted.
How Your Annual Assessment is Calculated
The annual assessment rate is $2.30 per $1,000 of the fair market value of the property as determined on or about January 1 of each year by the County Auditor.
The assessment is billed one year in arrears, similar to property taxes. The assessment being billed in 2024 is for the year 2023.
