The principal purpose of 2017 Wisconsin Act 303 was to set limits on the amount of fees that an association can charge its unit owners.  Those fees are the following:

  1. The actual cost of, but not more than $50, for providing the Sec. 703.33(1)(1m) & (2) Wis. Stat. disclosures from a Seller to a Buyer (See, Sec. 703.20(2)(a) Wis. Stat.);
  2. The actual cost of, but not more than $15, for providing any change to item 1 above as required by Sec. 703.33(3m) Wis. Stat. (See, Sec. 703.20(2)(a) Wis. Stat.); and
  3. No charge for a payoff statement, but if a second one is requested in a 2-month period, then not to exceed $25 (See Sec. 703.335(4)(a) Wis. Stat.).

The sole exception to these limits is if the association has a unit owner meeting where a greater fee is approved and the appropriate notices are provided both before and within 48 hours after the meeting. (See Sec. 703.205(2) Wis. Stat.).

There is no limit on the amount that may be charged as a transfer fee, but the new law does require that these amounts be disclosed in the Executive Summary. …

Stat. or to charge any fee for providing the first pay-off statement to a unit owner needed to comply with the new law. (See, Sec. 703.205 Wis. Stat.).  At the time, we did not advise specifically how this compliance could be achieved.  We are now providing that information.

As a result of the new legislation that passed, in three different bills, for each of your condominium associations you need to deal with the following:
