About your instructor:
Deb Marett is a professional artist originally from Zeeland. She works in watercolors and oils, and most of the year she focuses on figurative, portraits, and equestrian work. But whenever she travels, her trusty watercolor travel set always finds a place in the luggage, to stop and sketch or paint whenever an opportunity arises. “I find that stopping to study a special place, spend some time with it, and in some way sketch or paint it, imprints it on my mind permanently. Years later when I look at my sketches, I can remember everything about the place, that day, and how it felt to be there. I am transported back, in a way a photo could never do.” It is that experience Deb loves to share with other travelers, to help deepen their memories and sweeten their travels.

Quarterly Electric & State Tax Billed
2022-01-01
Estimated Electric and State Tax is billed quarterly in January, April, July and October.
Electric meters are read once per year in August. Your kilowatt hours are totaled for the year and you are billed based off of that use. You pay for your adjusted electric use in October and then your total annual annual kilowatt hours are divided by four and you pay for that use in January, April and July. This is why you get an electric bill in January even though you may not be using electricity during that time at the park.
If electric use is up over the prior year you pay an additional adjusted electric bill in October and your quarterly estimates are higher than the previous year. If electric use is down over the prior year you could get a credit on your adjusted electric bill in October and your quarterly estimates will be lower than the previous year.
Once the new portal is finished, you can view and print your annual electric use by logging in to your Member Web Access Portal.
State Tax is billed as $9.50 per site per quarter.
