The final deck work is being completed. It is interesting that the Aransas Appraisal District taxes us for the decks individually. We are taxed on the value of each deck as some units have two and the one bedroom units have only one. The square footage of the decks is assessed and added to the unit value for taxation purposes. The declaration clearly states the decks and balconies are not common elements. A board member brought this up when the repairs started and was shouted down by the rest of the board. The point was that since the decks are not common elements the repairs should be charged to the individual owner. By treating the decks as common elements, the one bedroom owners paid the same for one deck that two and three bedroom owners paid for two decks(balconies). Some day we will get back to the declaration rules that this HOA was established under.
