4. Are checks still accepted?

Yes. You may mail a check to the association’s lockbox or drop it off at our office. Please be sure your unit number and account number are written on the check so your payment is applied correctly. Also, all checks are to be payable to your associations legal name, not Soniat Realty.

Due dates are set by your association’s governing documents. In most cases, payments are considered late after the 10th of the month.

Posting time depends on the payment method, but most payments are applied within 24 hours after they are received through the Owner Portal.
