Payments may be made by mailing forms along with check to the POA Administration Accounting Department at 895 DeSoto Blvd. or by bringing forms and payment to the Administration Building front desk on weekdays from 8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.

Updated Method of Matching Assessment Payments to Properties and Members:
As part of the consolidation in how the POA identifies members, we are no longer utilizing a separate assessment account number.  Instead, all future assessment payments will be directly matched to the Lot/Block/Addition (LBA). Members who's assessments are paid via a bank bill pay solution are asked to update the identifying number being sent on the check.  In order to more quickly identify the property being paid for, please use your 8 digit lot, block, addition (LBA) number.
