Before you buy	Confirm which fee class (Standard, Lake Access or Lake Shore) applies to the specific address in writing. Order a current title and read the registered encumbrance. Request a statement of account showing whether the current year's fee is paid. Note that dues are subject to inflation adjustment — budget beyond the current published amount. Ask the association for the current facility rules covering guests, watercraft and seasonal use. Confirm tenant-transfer and resale-request charges separately from annual dues. For a suite, condominium or private gate/dock, obtain written eligibility for the actual unit and household. Ask ABRA to resolve youth-age, Friday group-list and fishing-location discrepancies relevant to your intended use.	Confirm the address is inside the association boundary — the community name alone does not prove entitlement. Order a current title and check for the registered encumbrance. Confirm which fee class applies (General, Lake Access, Lake Shore or Statesman Villas). Request a statement of account; unpaid fees can mean access is denied. If access-way use is advertised, obtain Schedule E and Schedule I instruments and the parcel-specific eligibility confirmation. Have the lawyer request current account information early; MLRA asks for up to two business days to respond. Confirm the property's fee class, balance and any request charge.
