A Bit About “MRTA”

In accordance with the Marketable Record Title Act, Chapter 712 of the Florida Statutes, on July 8, 2016, the board of directors approved the recording of the Statement of Marketable Title Action, which retained the status of the declaration as the source of marketable title and renewed it for another 30-year period.

What’s My Account Number?

Mailed statements indicate your account number printed on the payment coupon. The Master Assoc. account number begins with GTM followed by 5 numbers. Be certain to write your GTM account number on every Master Assoc. check, or indicate it on your e-payments from your bank’s online Bill Pay.

You can also find your account number(s) by logging into the Signature payment portal (see details at right) and clicking on Billing in the left panel.

Master Association fees payment info

Each Gator Trace owner belongs to two associations. The Master Association uses Signature Property Management for our bookkeeping and dues collection services (only). Please check all statements you receive to confirm where to mail your payments; each sub-association collects their fees separately. This notice refers specifically to Master Association payments.

Payments are always due by Jan. 1, Apr. 1, July 1, and Oct. 1. The 2023 Master Assoc. quarterly assessment amount is $332 per quarter ($130/quarter for lot-only). You are responsible to make prompt payment of this fee each quarter, whether or not you receive a statement. The due dates, the amount due, and the remit address are the same all year. Be sure to pay on time to avoid late fees.

You can view your account and manage electronic payments on the Signature Property Mgmt portal at https://portal.signaturepropertymgmt.com/. Click LOGIN at top right, and then SIGN UP to request a login the first time. (We need to have an email address for you on file first.) Or, set up automatic online bill payment through your own bank. It is critical to indicate your GTM account number to ensure your payment is matched properly. (see acct. # info at left) on all checks or e-payments, and use the address below.
