And you should not pay them based on the 2024 budget you received, but instead wait for the actual billing that will be posted on or after 12/18. That is because the actual bill will depend on whether there is a needed increase or decrease to the budget based on actual 2023 property taxes paid -- if you paid too much the bill for 2024 will reflect a lower payment than the 2024 budget, and if you paid too little, the actual dues will be higher than the budget. The difference is usually not very much but there is often a difference between the budget and what you actually have to pay.
