Maintenance Fees Overview

Just as there are annual costs associated with keeping your home or car running smoothly, or HOA fees to improve your community, yearly fees are distributed among all the owners in the Bluegreen Vacation Club to keep your resorts up to the standard of quality and services you expect. Taken together, your annual maintenance fees and club dues help ensure that we’re able to provide you with great vacation experiences, from the time you make a reservation to the time you leave your favorite resort.

One of the many benefits your Bluegreen Vacations ownership brings is the continual upkeep, updates and improvements being made to your resorts. Your maintenance fees not only cover day-to-day operational expenses, but also improvements ranging from new furniture to complete resort renovations and pay property taxes.

What costs are not covered by your maintenance fees?

There are many business expenses which are not funded by maintenance fees as the expenses are not directly associated with the Bluegreen Vacation Club. Operations of our sales centers, funding the acquisition of a new resort before it becomes part of the Bluegreen Vacation Club, construction costs to add a building to an existing club resort property, renovation of a newly acquired property before it’s sold into the Bluegreen Vacation Club, sponsorships and partner relationships such as NASCAR®, Bass Pro/Cabela’s and Choice Hotels®.

Club Dues
Club dues are like maintenance fees, but for operational expenses of general ownership instead of resorts. Club dues cover all the operational expenses associated with your ownership at the Club level, including (but not limited to) toll- free reservations phone number, vacation specialists servicing calls and web chats, accounting, club management, VIP privileges, your annual subscription to the Member Magazine, other club communications and in most cases, your annual exchange company membership.
