Buying and Selling at Fishhawk Lake

The Fishhawk Lake office does not generally get involved in the real estate transaction process and does not have information regarding any specific lot or homes for sale on the lake. However, there are some common questions that we are asked that can be found below.
 
What are the monthly HOA dues?

Are there special assessments in progress?
Yes. There are two special assessments. Please refer to the Solutions page of this website for more information about the dam safety / fish passage project. Buyers and sellers should be sure to include these special assessments as part of the final negotiations; amounts due are subject to vary on a member by member basis, as some may have pre-paid all or a portion of the special assessments at the time of the transaction.
  • Special assessment #1 began January 1, 2022. At the August 21, 2021 annual meeting, the membership approved a serial special assessment, related to the dam safety / fish passage project.
