How to Pay Assessments

Tip! All owners have several options for the payment of recurring, ancillary, and special assessment fees (“Assessments,” often referred to as ‘dues’), including personal check, Bill Payer, automated withdrawal (AutoPay) from your bank account, or payment via credit/debit card.

Personal or Cashier’s Check and Money Order (With or Without a Payment Coupon)

Checks are to be made payable to your Association, and sent to the c/o: CWD Group, Inc. - PO Box 5127, Portland, OR 97208 . Please include your Account Number on the memo line of your check to ensure proper and timely crediting of your account. Your Account Number can be located by signing into your eUnify account at www.cwdgroup.com.

Payments must be received in accordance to your association’s delinquency policy. Feel free to contact our office [<a href="">emailus@cvwdgroup.com] or 503-488-2008 for online account assistance.

Tip! Payment coupons are available upon request to save costs for your community. If you’d like to receive payment coupons, please email your request to coupon@cwdgroup.com with your name and Account Number. When a new fiscal year starts, there is often a change in the amount of the Assessment. Please remain aware of changes in the amount of the Assessment and update your Check payment accordingly.

  • Include your Account Number as the Payee Account Number
  • CWD Group’s phone number: 206-706-8000 as the Payee Phone Number

After a Payment Method has been added, then you may use the tabs to navigate to One Time Payment or Recurring Payment.

One Time Payment is great for regular assessments, special assessments, late fees, move fees, fines, maintenance charges, access device fees, etc. After a payment method has been established it will be displayed in the drop-down menu to process a one-time payment in the amount specified by the user.

Another option is Recurring Payments, however, a Payment Method must first be established.

Click the Recurring Payment Tab and then "Add Recurring Payment"

Recurring Payment has various drop downs available to modify the settings, we want to call your attention to the "Start Date" & “Payment Amount”.

The recurring autopay will start on that month, day, and year you enter in the Start Date field. Please note that recurring autopayments will process on the same day in the following months. Please make sure the day of the month is within your association’s delinquency policy grace period. Recommendations are to have the recurring autopayment process between the 5th and 10th of each month.

  • “The Full Amount Due”: will pull the total amount owing on your account based on the transaction date selected, preferably the 5th of the month or after. Based on your association and account, this could mean your monthly assessment + EVC Charge + a Bill-To-Owner for a plumbing repair or other charges, would all be pulled together.
  • “A Fixed Amount”: will pull only your recurring amount based on what your selected and the transaction date selected, preferably the 5th of the month or after.
  • We recommend using the Full Amount Due to avoid any missed payments or late fees.

The various settings include: Nickname, Payment Method, Frequency (Monthly, quarterly etc), Start & End Date, Payment Amount (more details above) and Maximum Amount.

After entering the details for your One Time Payment or Recurring Payment, don’t forget to save.

Tip! As with all other forms of payment, when a new fiscal year starts, there is often a change in the amount of the Assessment. As with making payments via Check and Bill Payer, please remain aware of changes in the amount of the Assessment and edit your Recurring Payment accordingly. Note: no action necessary if you utilize “The Full Amount Due” for recurring eUnifyPay payments.
