Value is defined by services divided by costs. To enhance value, we need to either increase services while keeping costs the same or maintain services while decreasing costs. Cost is simply one factor when it comes to determining value. While there may be associations with lower fees to join, we do not think you will find any offering greater value than KWAR.

At KWAR we provide you with one fee for all your monthly services. There are no hidden additions or breakdown of individual fees for specific services that are mandatory for you in any way!

We do not compare our fees with other boards, but if you are then we would suggest you calculate the total all-in yearly fees. For example, some associations may charge a lower monthly fee but then have a higher annual fee. Furthermore, some associations opt to charge separately for certain technology services which you must pay for such as Registry/Assessment,SentriLock, and Clariety.

At KWAR we do not charge extra for these services. We include all of your required technology in your monthly fee. See our most up to date fee schedule here.
