Legends South Board of Directors Updates 2025:
2025 Legends South HOA Dues Reminder
All unpaid HOA dues, and late fees, for 2025 (and prior) must be paid by Dec 31, 2025 to avoid being sent to collections or having a lien filed! All residents with unpaid dues and late fees have received letters with the amount you owe - please refer to that letter when paying your dues or late fees.
Your HOA dues help cover things like:
Landscaping and lawn maintenance in shared areas
Common-area electricity
Community pool and recreation area upkeep
Insurance for common areas and liability coverage
Road repairs, snow removal, and general maintenance
Protecting Property Values
HOA dues are an investment in your home and neighborhood’s value, appearance, and quality of life. When everyone pays their dues, we can keep everything running without interruptions and avoid delays in projects.
For those who haven’t paid their 2025 (and prior) dues and/or late fees yet, please submit your payment by December 31, 2025 at http://www.rcirealty.com (or contact RCI to setup a payment plan).
In 2024, we completed many projects, they are listed here:
Replaced drain grates in the pool per St. Louis County regulations
Completed the caulking of the pool deck
Made a cost-effective repair on the pool slide
Patched and painted around the edge of the pool to hold off a much more expensive fix
Cleaned and painted the water features
Replaced the lifeguard chairs and purchased a fridge for the lifeguards
Yearly sewer inspection and cleaning
Continued repairs to streets and sidewalks for Phase 2 of project
Made upgrades in some cul-de-sac circles and the Legends View Island
In 2025 we may plan for:
Parking lot resurfacing
Mulching the playground
Continue with upgrades to the cul-de-sac circles
Maintenance on the monuments
Begin Phase 3 of the streets and sidewalk repairs project
Lastly, HOA dues are paid annually and are due by March 1, 2025. Over the last five years, we’ve encountered some unexpected expenses and made needed capital improvements which resulted in deficits. In 2020 we installed the fountain and electricity in the retention pond by the Legends South Pool. The 2021 budget wound up in deficit due to the extensive concrete work, the almost doubling of our insurance, and pool slide replacement. In 2022, we encountered an extensive leak in the pool house bathrooms to the extent of replacing drywall, wood, insulation, and painting. In 2023, the pool cameras and equipment were stolen, and damage done in the pool area. In 2024, we repaired the edge around the pool as well as the water feature and had to replace drain grates per St. Louis County regulations. To keep up with rising costs of goods and services and to continue the concrete repair project, the increase in HOA fees of $1000 per household will continue.
