The Board of Directors has made changes to the Placid Bay Civic Association’s voluntary membership. At the Annual Membership Meeting on 5/4/2024 members voted to change membership fees to a fiscal year 5/1 through 4/30 basis to coincide with our financial records. This means that calendar year 2024 memberships and boat ramp key (*) will be valid through 4/30/2025. Any memberships made after 1/1/2025 will be considered payment for fiscal year 2026 (5/1/2025 through 4/30/2026).
While membership in the PBCA is voluntary for property owners and renters living in Placid Bay Estates, the fees that we collect are used to keep up with maintenance and improvements of our community, including common areas of Placid Bay Estates such as the Event Venue, Dams, Docks and Boat Ramp. To help offset rising maintenance costs, the PBCA is increasing the BOAT RAMP KEY fee from $15 to $75. We are also instituting a choice between an INDIVIDUAL membership option or a FAMILY membership. This will allow families and individuals to receive up to 50% discounts on admission to PBCA-sponsored events, and a discount on rental of the Event Venue. (See Venue page on this website for more information on discounted membership rentals).
Following are the current membership rates:
$25.00 individual membership
$50.00 family membership
$75.00 per key for one year for key access to the boat launch area (must also purchase a family membership).(*)
(*Note: Those who are renewing last year’s membership must use their 2024 key for boat ramp access until April 30th. The new key you receive with your membership packet will be valid May 1st.)
We are grateful to all of the volunteers and retail sponsors who save us time and expenses to continue our service to the Placid Bay Estates community! If you have not already done so, consider joining us this year. We need your talents!
For online payments, we have chosen to use the secure PayPal system so your information and transactions are safe.
