Annual CRRA Fee
Your annual CRRA fee is used for these additional operational, maintenance and replacement services at a level of service over and above the standard of service provided by The City of Calgary, to the extent legally permissible, for the public utility lots, environmental reserves, municipal reserves, public walkways, road boulevards, road medians, entrance features and associated community and related signage.
In other words, the CRRA fee is used to enhance and maintain the greenspaces in Cougar Ridge.
The CRRA fee is a legal requirement and has been registered with Alberta Land Titles as an encumbrance on each and every residential property that was developed wholly, or in partnership with United Communities Inc. This means that when you signed off on your home purchase, you signed an agreement to pay these fees. Out of respect for those who pay their fees by the invoice due date.
The fee is currently set at $100.00 (no GST) for detached and attached houses, and $50.00 (no GST) for townhouse and apartment-style homes. Fees run from January 1st to December 31st every year. The annual invoice is normally mailed out to residents in May of each year, and due June 30th. ****2011 fees are now due.****
On-line payment is not currently available. because the costs would take up about one-fifth of our total budget. We want to avoid the higher residents association fees that are usually required to cover the costs of online payments.
The CRRA has contracted CA Management to run our financial, administration and collections processes. The CRRA Board, comprised solely of volunteers, simply does not have the manpower to do all the billing and accounting plus collections. CA Management will from this point forward be sending out all yearly invoices and requests for late payments, as well as final collections notices. CA Management are doing this on behalf of the CRRA board and have our authority to do so.
2011 fees should be mailed directly to CA Management at:
