– Existing Reservation & Returning Seasonal Members –

What exactly does ‘reservation member’ mean?

A reservation member simply means that your property was deeded as part of the Lake Saginaw reservation, when the community was founded by Arthur Crane many years ago.

Our 2023 bills are usually mailed in February / March of each year.
Please read them carefully and mail them with the correct payment to our PO Box 401, Sparta NJ 07871 by April 30th, 2023.
Returning seasonal members must be paid by April 30th to ensure their existing membership spot!
As per the passing of the resolution to increase the maintenance fee from $18 to $50 per year in 2013, all deeded reservation property owners whether active or inactive must pay the $50 maintenance fee.

Remember, email is necessary for us to stay in contact with you –
please update your email address on the bottom of the billing statement, and return it with your payment.

Our Treasurer needs to account for these taxes and they must be paid to the state – SHBC does not keep this money – thank you!
