Club fees are going up in 2026 — here is what the notice says

True Club management has confirmed a $35.31 per month operations fee increase tied to new amenities at the Lagoon Villas. It takes effect when construction completes — anticipated sometime in 2026. It cannot be opted out of.

Why it matters
The operations fee and the Club Membership Fee mean very different things. Understanding the difference is the first step before making any decisions.
  • The $35.31 increase covers operations for the new Tiki Bar, bocce and shuffleboard courts, private beach access, and additional staffing at the Lagoon Villas.
  • This is a Club Expenses increase — it does not change the $61 Club Membership Fee, which remains capped through December 31, 2026 per Exhibit D of the Club Plan.
  • Only the Club Membership Fee drives the formula purchase price. The $35.31 does not affect the option formula — but the fee cap expiring January 1, 2027 does.
  • Homeowners selling now because of this increase are leaving before the amenities they paid to build are finished. The next buyer inherits the completed asset.

By April 2025 — six months after Southshore Bay's resident board was seated — documents confirmed the purchase option was already active. The board had publicly stated they expected until April 2027. Mirada's Club Plan contains identical timeline language.

Alternatives to HOA ownership

The Medley Club was deliberately structured outside Florida Chapter 720 — the Homeowners' Association Act — from the beginning. When the HOA purchases the Club, it inherits Chapter 720 constraints that Lennar specifically engineered around, including annual elections, member voting requirements, statutory reserves, and open records obligations.

HOA ownership is not the only path available to an incoming board. Other Florida communities facing similar developer-owned amenity structures have explored alternative arrangements that may better serve residents' long-term interests.

The incoming Mirada board should consult qualified Florida HOA legal counsel about what options may be available — before the 90-day option window opens, not after.

Editorial position: Medley Dispatch does not advocate for or against any specific ownership structure. The decision belongs to the incoming board — informed by qualified legal counsel — and ultimately to homeowners.

Questions for incoming boards

Before any vote on Club purchase, boards should be able to answer:

  1. 1.What is the exact formula price on the Option Date — and what happens if Club Membership Fees change before closing?
  2. 2.Has the board reviewed the Club's complete balance sheet — including any amounts currently owed to Lennar?
  3. 3.Has the board commissioned an independent MAI appraisal before agreeing to any price?
  4. 4.Does the board understand that §5.6.2 requires a General Release of all Club Plan claims at closing — and has legal counsel reviewed what rights are being permanently waived?
  5. 5.Has the board reviewed Avatar v. Gundel and the ChampionsGate class action and consulted HOA counsel about their implications?
  6. 6.What are the terms of the True Club management contract — what happens to it upon any change of ownership?
  7. 7.Are there ownership structures that could benefit residents without Chapter 720 regulatory constraints?
  8. 8.What happens to member access if the HOA declines the option and Lennar sells to a third party?
Know Your Numbers

The Club is losing $665,000 a year. The formula price is fixed. Do the math.

Before the HOA votes, someone should run the numbers. The option window is 90 days. After that it is gone forever. $534,850 flows to Lennar every year — that is the number the board has not explained.

Cap Rate
Negative
Net operating income divided by purchase price. A Club losing $665K/year has a negative cap rate. That is not an investment — it is an inherited deficit.
Formula Price
Fixed
The Club Plan sets the purchase price by multiplying the Club Membership Fee by the number of homes — locked in at the Option Date. It does not adjust for losses.
Option Window
90 days
From the Option Date. If the HOA does not act, the option terminates permanently — and Lennar can sell the Club to anyone. §5.5, Club Plan.
