The Association was formed in 1919 in order to maintain the two properties it owns - the Lakefront Park at the eastern end of Shore Acres Drive, and the tennis court space on Lake Shore Boulevard. The Association assesses a fee on each lot in the subdivisions in order to provide continued maintenance, security, and insurance on the properties. Currently the fee for each lot is $50 per year. Once the dues are paid, you will receive a key to enter the park, which is kept locked for safety and security reasons. Use of the park and soon-to-be renovated tennis court space is one of the benefits of being part of the Association.
It may be that the previous owner of your house has already paid the dues for the current year. Or it may be that you are obligated for some or all of the current year dues. Regardless, the Treasurer of the Association will be in contact with you regarding the status of your dues. Each year you will receive a mailing letting you know the annual dues are due, with an envelope addressed to the bank.
If you have any questions regarding the dues or the Association, please contact Shore Acres Association President Meg Doerr at 216-692-0216.
