There has not been any disruption to the Herons Glen HOA Accounting system
Thursday-11-09-2023- @ 04:42
On 9/29/23 residents received an email notice from the HERONS GLEN RECREATION DISTRICT (not the Herons Glen HOA) concerning their online payment system. The notice from the Herons Glen Recreation District had nothing to do with your Herons Glen HOA quarterly payments. Since that time the HOA Office has received a high volume of calls about the districts payment system. The email DID NOT come from the HOA Office and there has not been any disruption to the HOA’s accounting system for payments. The system is working fine and if you are on ACH for your Herons Glen HOA payment it went through fine, and you do not need to do anything further.

Have a wonderful weekend,
Joyce Gillespie, CAM, CMCA, AMS
Herons Glen HOA Manager
