Welcome to Lake Berkley!
We are working to enhance our website for you, bringing you new resources, and helping answer frequently asked questions. If you have an idea for an improvement, feature, or something else you think would be useful, please LET US KNOW!
This page is for the Villas at Lake Berkley sub-association in Lake Berkley Resort Masters. In the Lake Berkley Community, there are a total of 4 communities. Lake Berkley Resort Masters is the main association that governs all the sub-associations. Each owner within the 3 sub-communities pays into the maintenance fund for the Master Association and in doing so is granted use of the shared amenities.
Current Fiscal Year Dues: 2024
The annual budget is voted on by the Board of The Villas at Lake Berkley at the end of each calendar year, to take effect the following calendar year. All owners will be notified of this mandatory budget meeting via USPS, and, if we have one, an email. Notices are sent out 30 days in advance of the meeting and will contain information on the proposed budget, along with other relevant information for that meeting. Please pay close attention to this information and plan to attend the meeting if you are able.
After the budget is passed coupon books will be ordered with the communities bank, TRUIST, and mailed to the mailing address we have on file for each owner. It is very important that if you move, you contact us to update your mailing address with us. Please note; failure to notify us of your mailing address changes does not waive your responsibilities to make your HOA payments on time. Late fees will be assessed and will not be waived for owners paying late regardless of their claim against not receiving a coupon book.
Please note: The information provided on this page and/or the Homeowner Portal does not constitute the required information for an estoppel or to be used for any Real Estate transaction.

FAQ’s
Below is a collection of frequently asked questions to help you get the information you need quickly, and easily. If you have any ideas or suggestions for items to add to this list, please Let Us Know!
Payments for the Master HOA are accepted in a number of ways:
- Online Bill-Pay through the Communities Bank, Truist. You will need to use the coupon book that you received at the end of the year to get the instructions for enrolling in this.
- Online Bill-Pay through YOUR bank. You can use the same information for enrolling through the Truist bill-pay service to enroll through your own personal/business bank.
- Online through our website via ACH transaction for a small fee, or using your Credit/Debit card for a moderate fee.
- Mail a Check or Money Order using the coupon from the coupon book that is mailed out by the bank to you.
- Mail a Check or Money Order made out to Lake Berkley Masters and sent to us at 6925 Lake Ellenor Dr., Ste. 115, Orlando, FL 32809
- Be sure to include the address of the property the payment should go to in the memo line. This will help ensure your payment is properly credited to your account.
- Hand Deliver a Check, Money Order or Cash to our office. Again, the Check or Money Order must be made out to Lake Berkley Masters.
Processing time for payments depends on the two banks involved in clearing the funds. Your bank is the issuing bank, and the communities bank as the receiving account. This time is typically 5 to 7 days. We recommend making your payments 7 to 10 days prior to the due date, to avoid any late fees being charged to your account.
No, all payments must be made through a US Banking institution.
No, all properties have separate accounts and we are required to take the payments for them individually.
- No, unlike condominiums, you as the owner of a Single Family Villa, are responsible for the repairs to both the interior and exterior of your home. The HOA does insure the roof of the property, and it will replace it at the end of its useful life. The HOA also maintains a reserve fund for the painting of the exterior. Doing so ensures it is painted uniformly and at the same time. The HOA does not cover damage to the roof, exterior walls, windows, doors, or other home surfaces. The HOA also maintains the common elements within the community that are for the use of all property owners. Nothing that is for the exclusive use of the property owner is covered by the HOA.
Getting a current statement of your account could not be easier! During office hours you can use the online chat tool to speak with us directly. If you are reaching out after hours, simply send us an email or use the Contact Us Form to send us a request.
- Painting the exterior of the home, even if you are re-painting it the same color
