Membership levels and DUES

Current Member dues for both Proprietary and Social members are $250 per quarter, paid in advance and due quarterly on Jan 1, Apr 1, Jul 1, and Oct 1.  Members may pay their dues further in advance in quarterly increments.

PROPRIETARY MEMBERS

The owners of each lot lying within the the plat of Louise Park (see MAP) are Proprietary members of Sylvia Lake Country Club, Inc.  Proprietary memberships are automatically transferred with the sale of the land, and all Proprietary property owners with Louise Park are legally obligated to pay dues, fees and assessments as prescribed in the bylaws of Sylvia Lake Country Club, Inc.

social members

Persons not qualified for Proprietary membership may be eligible to become non-voting Social Members upon application and approval by a majority of the Board of Directors of Sylvia Lake Country Club, Inc.  Social Members are required to pay an initiation fee of $150, regular dues, fees and assessments.  Social Members are typically residents of adjoining properties in the Northwest end (west of 8601 71st ST NW). In addition, long-term tenants who wish to obtain access privileges may be considered for Social Membership, assuming all responsibilities and costs therein. 

• Input and feedback from Social members is highly valued by the SLCC Board of Directors. Washington state law prohibits voting by members who do not own real property within the jurisdiction of SLCC. Therefore, pursuant to RCW 68.38.015, Social members may not vote, but may attend and participate in all SLCC meetings, benefits and activities as defined by the SLCC Board of Directors.

• As a courtesy, SLCC regularly sends email reminders and invoices to any member who has an account balance. Members can view their account balance online at any time by logging into our website, and are expected to pay on time, regardless of whether or not reminders or invoices are received.
• All costs of collections, including but not limited to liens, legal fees, and/or collection agency, is borne by the property owner against whom they are levied.
• All property owners within the plat are required to pay dues and assessments. Each separate residence or unoccupied/vacant property will be assessed as one membership. For the purpose of membership assessments, additional lots without a separate residence owned by the same person or entity are considered one property. Each Proprietary member will continue to have one membership vote regardless of the number of properties, lots, or residences owned.
• RENTAL PROPERTIES: Proprietary Members in good standing may loan their member privileges (including gate access code) to their tenants, and must notify the board of directors of their intention. The Proprietary Member always retains their vote. The responsibility for payment of dues remains with the Proprietary Member regardless of residential status and may not be transferred to the tenant. Should the owner wish to retain their privileges, or if the long-term tenant wishes to serve on the board, the tenant may be considered for Social Membership, assuming all responsibilities and costs therein.
• A $50 transfer fee is assessed for new proprietary members when any property ownership within the plat is transferred.
• New member applications are subject to current quarter membership dues beginning on the closing date, pro-rated to the nearest month.
