The annual dues are $200, and it is due in January of each year. The annual fee applies to each lot with a house on it so owners with multiple houses in Carolina Dunes pay multiple fees. Owners of vacant lots also pay the annual fees for that lot. The dues cover the calendar year.
CDA provides Carolina Dunes homeowners (and their guests) three maintained access paths to the ocean, one access path to the sound, and the two Carolina Dunes signs on NC-12. The CDA also actively addresses issues and communicates with all property owners in the Carolina Dunes subdivision. Historically, CDA has provided a number of services to owners since 1994, which include annual community meetings, email notification on important matters, this community website, periodic newsletters and parking for the life guards who serve the Carolina Dunes beach during the summer.
The primary source of funding for CDA is through the collection of annual dues. Without the dues, the CDA services and facilities could not be provided. Therefore, it is important that all owners pay the annual dues.
