GRF
From 2014 to 2024, assessments increased by $4.34 or 1.9%, which represents an average annual change of 0.5%. Much of the low increase is due to the Trust Facilities Fee that owners pay when purchasing a new home.
United

Third
From 2014 to 2024, assessments increased by $203.97 or 53.2%, which represents an average annual change of 3.5%. Combined with the GRF portion of the monthly assessment, the total basic assessment increased by $208.31 or 34.3%, which represents an average annual change of 2.6%. The large year-over-year increase in 2022 was due to a $7 million increase in property insurance from 2021, which was due to reassessed Third property values and premium increase based on unfavorable market conditions related to natural disasters such as California wildfires.
