Payment Options

Paul Ash Management Company, LLC offers a number of payment options for homeowners who live in community associations for which we provide banking services.  This provides a summary of those options, and tips for insuring the payment is received in a timely manner and properly credited to the correct homeowner account.

Pay by Mail

Homeowners mail their payment (check or money order; no cash, please) to Paul Ash Management Company, LLC. All work is processed immediately, with the funds deposited into the association’s bank account.  Checks should be made out to Tierra Catalina Homeowner Association.  Make sure to write your unit number on the check in the memo section. 

Use the following address when mailing your payment:

Paul Ash Management Company, LLC

1985 E. River Road, Suite 101

Tucson, AZ 85718

Tips when paying by mail:

• Do not fold, staple, or paper clip anything
• If you have multiple properties, you may pay with one check, but you must include a unit number for each property on the memo portion of the check.
• Write your unit number(s) on your check
• Make the check payable to Tierra Catalina Condominium Homeowner Association, not the management company.
• Do not rely on the postal service to deliver your payment in 2-3 days.  That’s why your association gives you a grace period.  If you mail it before the due date (not the past due date), you should avoid a late fee

Pay by Credit Card

Credit Card Form

Homeowners may pay their assessment by credit card (MasterCard, Discover, and Visa). Paul Ash Management Company, LLC charges a $2.50 convenience fee for this service.

Pay by Recurring Direct Debit

ACH - Direct Deposit Form

By signing an authorization form and submitting it to Paul Ash Management Company, LLC with a voided check (not a deposit slip), the homeowner can direct the association’s management agent to withdraw the assessment from his bank account every month (or quarter, depending on the billing cycle) and deposit in the association’s bank account via an ACH transaction.  The management office credits the payment to the homeowner’s account.  This is the best method of payment.  It is the least subject to error; it is guaranteed the payment will be made on time, no worry about lost coupons, no searching for stamps, no fee for the service.

Tips when paying by direct debit:

• Notify the management office if you close or change your bank account.  Returned direct debit items are charged a processing fee just like a returned check.
• Make sure there is enough money in your bank account to cover the payment.  If your direct debit is returned for non-sufficient funds, a processing fee will be charged.
• Payments will normally be withdrawn around the same date each month, but that cannot be guaranteed.  If you expect it to be withdrawn on the 5th, and it doesn’t come out until the 10th, that is no excuse to avoid the NSF fee if the payment bounces.
  

On-Line Bill Pay

Homeowners can use their own banking service to pay his assessment. When a homeowner pays through another online banking service, a physical check is generated and mailed to the lockbox.  When we receive it, it is processed just like any other payment not accompanied by a coupon.  Homeowners who pay this way are encouraged to consider direct debit (ACH) payment instead, as it is faster, incurs no fee, and is less susceptible to error.

Tips when paying by on-line bill pay:

• Provide your unit number to your service provider exactly as it appears on your Invoice
• Verify that you have the correct post office box address.
• If you have multiple properties, you must pay for each separately.  Posting errors are likely to occur otherwise.
