Reston Association Scraps Fee for Online Assessments, New Portal

Reston Association is adopting a new approach to its collections of member assessments.

RA’s Board of Directors voted to scrap a $2.95 convenience fee that was required for online payments. The organization also launched a new online portal for paying assessments.

In a recent Reston Today video, RA noted that the new portal creates a consolidated way for members to make payments or set up payment plans. The association will no longer accept payments made through the general website or the Webtrac portal.

However, members can also make in-person payments by appointment only. Payment via credit card can also be made by calling RA’s member services department or by dropping off payments in a box outside RA’s headquarters, which are located at 12001 Sunrise Valley Drive.

This year’s assessment will go up by $10. The board decided to approve the increase by a 5-4 vote in late November.
