What is the Difference between a Special Assessment and an Additional Assessment? If you live in an HOA or a Condo, you may have had what is called an “Additional Assessment”. In turn there is also something called a “Special Assessment”. These two terms mean very different things. So, what is an Additional Assessment? This is when the community may need more funding for improvements to the community that are already in existence. These include things such as, roofs, roads, painting etc. The amount of funds needed can range greatly as well as the amount of time it takes to collect the funds so you may not see improvements being done immediately within your community. A Special Assessment is when the community wants to add something to the community that is not already in existence. An example would be something like a pool, a park etc. The same principle applies to the amount being collected and the time it takes to collect.

Older buildings were built to old codes, or none at all. The new building codes we have today is because something burned or someone died and the industry learned. If you have an old building, start updating it before your building gets someone injured or killed. Your building should shelter your employees and or customers not endanger them. https://lnkd.in/gtx3wDBJ
