In the meantime, there are a few things you should know:
First, before you buy, call our clerk to find out any outstanding issues with any property that you are considering. For example, sometimes there are past unpaid fines, fees, or even liens that remain with the property. Call our clerk at 937-675-6241 with the address and/or lot number of the property you are considering.
All new residents must pay a one-time initiation fee of $100.00, and then a mandatory annual resident's fee of $100.00.
In order to join the association and have lake-use privileges, you must also pay a tiny $25.00 annual membership fee.

Sheriff's Auctions:
NOTE: When properties are involved in foreclosures and go to a sheriff?s auction, there is commonly a legal statement made at the time of sale by a representative of the sheriff's department, that declares all liens against the property to be void. Certainly this is the case for bank liens and such. However, our community is like a private club, legally, and as such we are not required to admit membership to our community to anyone unless old fines or fees are paid. Thus, if you are thinking about bidding on a property at auction in the Lake Shawnee community, be sure to call our clerk first, to find out if there are any fines, fees, or penalties that will need to be paid. Then, keep such figures, if any, in mind when you are bidding for the property.
