The required funding to maintain the Enhanced Facilities is raised through a common Annual Rent Fee paid by each house in West Springs Farm.
Annual Fee: $160.00
Fee Payment Dates:
Invoices Mailed: February 1
Payment Due: March 31 (date payment must be received at Simco)
Interest: April 1 (will be applied to all unpaid fees)
Simco Arrears Admin Fee: Effective 2026, for any homes with fees unpaid by April 1, Simco will apply a $50 penalty to the Home Owner account when they email or mail an arrears letter asking for payment. This Simco fee is to encourage on-time payment and cover the administrative cost of sending followup letters for arrears. The Simco fee is in addition to the HOA interest charges and will be collected along with fee arrears.
Collection Action: July 1 (any homes with unpaid fees referred to lawyer for collection, with legal costs responsibility of Home Owner)

Fees Arrears Administration
- The rate of interest on any WSFHOA outstanding Annual Rent Fees Arrears effective February 1, 2013 shall be Ten Per Cent (10%) in excess of the prime per annum commercial rate of interest charged by the Royal Bank of Canada from time to time calculated half yearly (but not in advance) and compounded monthly. This increase has been authorized by the WSFHOA Board of Directors at a Special WSFHOA Board Meeting in January 2013.
- For any Home Owner with current Annual Rent Fees not paid by June 30th of the current year, authorization for collection enforcement will be turned over to WSFHOA Legal Counsel. Collection enforcement actions as permitted by the Encumbrance registered against the property and as permitted under the Land Titles Act (Alberta) may include the following:
- Demand Letter from WSFHOA Legal Counsel to the registered owner of the property with draft of letter to the mortgage company.
- If no response or agreed upon arrangement payments following the Demand Letter, a Statement of Claim will be issued and served upon the registered owners and forwarded to the mortgage company. Certificate of Pending Litigation (CPL) will be registered on the Certificate of Title to the property.
- If no response or should there be no agreement upon payment arrangements following service of the Statement of Claim, an application will be brought before the courts seeking a Redemption Order (i.e. judgement on the debt).
- Further legal action as permitted by said Redemption Order could be as extreme as the property being listed for sale pursuant to a Judicial Listing with a Court Supervision/ Approval of the Sale.
- Legal Costs associated with collection efforts will be added to the Fees Arrears amounts, so it is in the property owner's interest to ensure that the WSFHOA Annual Rent Fees are paid within the specified period.
