Reports from owners across multiple resort networks indicate that maintenance fees continue to rise each year, often outpacing inflation and exceeding initial cost projections provided at the time of purchase. Many owners report annual increases of 5 to 12 percent, with some resorts issuing additional special assessments to cover property repairs and operational shortfalls.
A Growing Financial Concern Among Timeshare Owners
Maintenance fees were originally introduced to fund property upkeep, staff operations, utilities, and periodic renovations. However, escalating resort operational costs and HOA budget adjustments have resulted in increasingly higher charges for owners, regardless of usage frequency.
The advisory explains that owners who no longer use their timeshare often face continued financial responsibility, with fees owed annually even if no vacation stay takes place. This pattern has led to a surge in complaints filed with state agencies and consumer protection departments.
Special Assessments Add Additional Pressure
In addition to annual fees, many resorts have introduced unexpected special assessments. These one-time charges may range from several hundred dollars to several thousand dollars per interval, depending on the resort’s financial condition and repair needs.
Special assessments are commonly used to fund large-scale renovation projects, storm-related damage, or HOA deficits. Due to the contractual structure of most timeshares, owners are required to pay these assessments even if they disagree with the necessity or timing of the repairs.
Limited Transparency and Consumer Challenges
The advisory notes that many timeshare owners are not informed of the potential for significant fee increases during the initial sales presentation. Some contracts contain perpetual fee obligations that continue for decades, with limited opportunity for negotiation or exit.
These financial commitments have become a primary factor motivating owners to explore contract release options or seek regulatory assistance. Lonestar Transfer’s advisory encourages owners to regularly review HOA statements, annual budgets, and fee schedules to stay informed and avoid unexpected financial strain.
