Membership and payment
Membership is automatic and mandatory with a home purchase in Auburn Bay.
SourcesAnnual Fee Information
Check the property, not just the neighbourhood.
No individual title, account balance or household access is certified here. A maintenance boundary, nearby amenity or condo fee does not settle those questions.

02 / THE PROPERTY CONTEXT
Which properties and households participate?
Title-linked obligation
Dues are secured by a title encumbrance and subject to inflation adjustment.
SourcesAnnual Fee Information
Property coverage
Membership follows the purchase of a home in Auburn Bay. Whether a specific address carries the encumbrance and which fee class applies must be confirmed on title or with the association.
SourcesAnnual Fee Information
Standard
Eligible resident cardholders use the common park and lake facilities under the membership rules. Standard membership does not authorize another property's private dock or gate.
Lake Access
The higher assessment class is separate from general park entry. Lake-access walkways are reserved for the lots with gate access; obtain the assigned route and confirm any tenant use.
Lake Shore
Highest published fee class.
SourcesAnnual Fee Information
Registered tenants
Owner-authorized transfer and government photo ID showing the Auburn Bay address are required. Owner and tenant cannot hold privileges simultaneously. Use the online transfer process, not the tenant contact-update form. Ask how the six-month residency definition applies to a new household.
Owners after transferring privileges
The published policy provides access to owners or renters, not both. Confirm reinstatement when a tenancy ends.
Short-term rental occupants
Short-term rentals, including Airbnb stays, cannot obtain ABRA membership.
Accompanied non-resident guests
Five guests per household per day, with sign-in and the member present throughout. Mobile infants count. Eligible Auburn Bay residents cannot enter through another household's guest allowance.
SourcesGuests of residents
Youth cards and guest privileges
Membership rules allow cards at ages 12–15 with parental permission and proof of age. Green cards allow two guests; red cards allow none. Under-12s need an adult cardholder. The guest rules instead say 12–16: confirm treatment at age 16.
Approved non-resident caregivers
Owner-requested caregiver cards permit entry only with the resident receiving care. They do not provide independent recreation access.
Separate secondary-suite households
The reviewed transfer rules do not resolve simultaneous access for an owner household and an independently occupied suite. Obtain written household-specific confirmation.
Condominium unit and private-route eligibility
No unit-level eligibility schedule was reviewed. Confirm the legal unit, account class and any assigned gate or dock; condominium ownership alone establishes neither exclusion nor private-route access.
No specific source attached to this item. Confirm before relying on it.

Rules and responsibilities
Due April 1, interest from May 1
The 2026/27 annual fee is due April 1, 2026. Interest begins May 1 on outstanding balances. A 2% processing fee applies to credit-card payments.
SourcesAnnual Fee Information
Tenant transfers and membership cards
Since April 1, 2026, tenant transfers must use the online form and cost $100 + GST. A tenant information form only updates contact or child details; it does not authorize a transfer.
Carry your own membership card
Cards cannot be lent, even within a household. A lost or stolen card costs $10 to replace; tax treatment is unstated. Allow up to 72 hours for requests. Owners need title and government photo ID; confirm residency documentation with ABRA.
Larger guest groups need approval
Gate +8 allows up to eight guests with approval requested at least 48 hours ahead; one list per household per day. More than eight requires a picnic-shelter reservation. The guest PDF allows ten lists Monday–Thursday and five Friday–Sunday/holidays, while the FAQ includes Friday in the ten-list group. Confirm Friday availability directly.
Private lake-access routes and storage
Only the Lake Access lots with gates may use their assigned walkways. No overnight boat storage; unattended belongings need management approval. Park rules also apply to these routes. A neighbourhood map cannot identify a home's assigned accessway.
SourcesLake access walkway rules
Pets and assistance dogs
Pets are excluded from ABRA grounds, lake and winter ice, including lake-access routes. The FAQ expressly excepts service/guide dogs.
Park restrictions and indoor rental exception
No alcohol, smoking, cannabis use or vaping in the park. The FAQ permits alcohol inside Auburn House only for rentals with the required liability insurance and posted liquor licence. Confirm the rental agreement before booking.
Boat and paddleboard sign-out
A resident cardholder aged 16+ must sign out the craft and stay aboard with guests. Caregiver/babysitter cards cannot sign out equipment. Lifejackets are compulsory aboard ABRA craft. Boat loans last 90 minutes; SUPs 45 minutes. Return by 30 minutes before closing; sign-out stops an hour before closing. Weather or staff directions can end use earlier.
Motors and lake conduct
Motorized boats, including battery-powered craft, are prohibited apart from association maintenance/security use. No diving or jumping from association docks or boats. ABRA does not provide lifeguards.
SourcesGeneral facility rules
Fishing limits and equipment
One rod per person. Take-home limits are two fish per member daily and twelve per household monthly; guests' fish count against the household limit. Record catches with staff. Single barbless hooks only; no food/live bait, nets or lead weights. Fish cleaning on association property is prohibited.
Fishing locations and ice-hole spacing need clarification
The FAQ permits fishing from the fishing dock, while the fishing PDF prohibits fishing within five metres of a private or public dock. Winter spacing ranges in that PDF also differ from the live rules. Ask staff for the designated location and current spacing before fishing.
Use the association's ice-opening signals
Stay off the lake while red flags or thin-ice signs are posted. ABRA must open the ice before skating or ice fishing; private ice surfaces are also subject to its opening decision. This describes policy, not today's ice conditions.
Outdoor court guest charges
From May 5, 2026, non-resident outdoor-court guests pay $10 for adults or $5 for youth aged 17 and under. Check-in wristbands must stay visible. Tax treatment is not stated; this is not a general lake-admission price.
Read the budget alongside the assessment
The 2026–27 budget includes Auburn House mortgage payments and a reserve contribution. Ask for the latest financial statements and reserve planning alongside the household invoice.

Selling here? Keep these together
- Obtain a written statement of account from the association before conditions are removed.
- Pay any outstanding balance and accrued interest so closing is not delayed.
- Disclose the applicable fee class in the listing information.
- Provide the current fee schedule to your lawyer and the buyer's agent.
- Have your lawyer use the current online fee-information request and confirm responsibility for its resale charge.
- Arrange account and household changes with ABRA; do not hand over a personal membership card as proof of the buyer's eligibility.
