The fiscal year of the BSOA operates from October 1 – September 30 and property owners are assessed once each year on October 1st. Whether a condo owner, a commercial lease, a homeowner, or an owner of an undeveloped lot, the assessment amount is the same for everyone. The books are audited annually by an outside accounting firm. A financial report for the year is prepared for the BSOA Finance Committee and is approved by the full BSOA Board of Directors. Auditors also complete our annual tax return.
