This is due to HOA responsibilities for maintenance of gates and streets.Additional Closing Costs: When a home within an HOA goes to closing there are additional costs, more so than properties not within an HOA. In the Bulverde/Spring Branch area an HOA Working Capital Fee of $1,000 is common. An HOA Resale PackageFee of $357 is also typical. There is also a charge of 0.25% of home sales price for an HOA Community Enhancement fee. Thus, 0.25% of a $365,000 sales price calculates to a Community Enhancement fee of $912.50.
