What Are the Fees at Apple Valley Lake, Ohio?

Apple Valley Lake Ohio fees and community lifestyle

Updated August 2026. Fees can change. Buyers and owners should confirm current amounts and requirements directly with the Apple Valley Property Owners Association at 740-397-3311.

One of the first questions buyers ask us is, “What are the fees at Apple Valley Lake, Ohio?” The answer is easier to understand when the mandatory assessments are separated from optional fees for boating, fitness, camping, family passes and facility rentals.

For the 2026-2027 assessment year, the basic mandatory total for an owner with one Apple Valley lot is $366. That consists of the $283 annual maintenance assessment and the $83 annual major-repairs assessment. Owners with more than one lot pay the maintenance assessment on each lot, while the major-repairs assessment applies only to the first lot owned.

Mandatory Apple Valley property-owner assessments

Annual maintenance assessment: $283 per lot

The annual maintenance assessment is mandatory for every Apple Valley lot, whether the lot is improved or vacant and whether the owner plans to use the community amenities. The assessment is due April 1 and covers the assessment year from April 1 through March 31. The amount is based on the Consumer Price Index and may change from year to year.

Annual major-repairs assessment: $83 on the first lot

As of the 2026-2027 assessment year, the annual major-repairs assessment is $83 for the first lot owned and is scheduled to continue through April 1, 2028. AVPOA members approved this assessment for major repairs, replacement and maintenance.

Co-owner fee: $283

A qualifying co-owner who wants a separate photo identification card and access to Apple Valley amenities may owe the annual co-owner fee. This fee applies under AVPOA’s co-ownership rules and is separate from the primary owner’s assessment.

Renter fee: $600

A renter with a qualifying lease of at least six months must pay the renter fee to use Apple Valley amenities, including the lake. The property owner’s assessments must be paid in full before renter privileges can be issued. Renters are not eligible to purchase family passes.

Identification cards, access cards and fitness

Item 2026 fee
Dependent photo ID $15
Access card $20 each
Access-card discount when the prior card is returned $5
Individual annual fitness membership $95
Family fitness membership for three or more members $230

Fitness-center membership is optional. Current access rules, hours and age requirements should be confirmed with AVPOA before visiting.
