The association's fees at closing
What the Lofts on Post Oak Association Charges When a Home Is Sold
Updated September 2026
Bottom line: The association's February 2026 management certificate lists a $375 resale certificate, a $250 transfer fee, $175 for a statement of fact, $75 to update a certificate and $100 to rush one.
Which fees does the association list for a sale?
The management certificate the association filed in February 2026 lists five charges connected with the sale of a home. The certificate is recorded under Section 82.116 of the Texas Property Code, and this one was signed on 27 February 2026 for the association by its managing agent, Rise Association Management Group.
The certificate states that these fees change from time to time and sends anyone who wants current figures to the managing agent. The same section of the Property Code requires an amended certificate within 30 days of a change in the information it records. It lists the fees without saying which party pays each one; that is for the sale contract and the parties to settle.
| Fee | Amount |
|---|---|
| Resale certificate | $375, or the maximum allowed by law |
| Transfer fee | $250 |
| Statement of fact | $175 |
| Resale certificate update | $75 |
| Rush order | $100 |
Does a buyer pay a working capital contribution?
The certificate describes one, and ties it to a purchase from the declarant: a one-time working capital contribution equal to two months of the monthly assessment, payable by each owner buying a home from the declarant. The declarant is the developer that created the condominium.
A buyer from an existing owner is not buying from the declarant, so the certificate names no such contribution on a resale. The declaration itself may say more than the certificate summarizes, and the resale certificate for the home you are buying is the document that answers it.
What does the resale certificate have to show?
Under Section 82.157 of the Texas Property Code, a seller other than the declarant must give the buyer the declaration, the bylaws, the association rules and a resale certificate before signing a contract, and the certificate must be no more than three months old when the buyer receives it. The association issues it and may charge no more than $375 for it.
The certificate must state the regular assessment, anything the seller still owes, capital spending approved for the next twelve months, the reserves, unsatisfied judgments and pending lawsuits against the association, the insurance it carries for owners, the managing agent's contact details, and every fee connected with the sale, with the operating budget and balance sheet attached.
The association has ten days from a written request to produce it. A buyer, lender or title insurer who relies on the certificate is not liable for a debt or claim it failed to disclose.
What can this page not tell you?
The monthly assessment, the size of the reserves, and whether any special assessment is planned. Each of those is in the resale certificate for a specific home, and this site has not seen one. It will publish what the association's public filings show as they change, dated to the filing.
Questions & answers
Lofts on Post Oak questions, answered
How much does a resale certificate cost at Lofts on Post Oak?
$375, according to the association's management certificate signed on 27 February 2026. That is also the most Texas law lets a condominium association charge for one. The association lists a further $75 to update a certificate and $100 for a rush order.
The resale certificate is the association's own statement about the home being sold and the association itself: the assessment, anything the seller still owes, the budget, the reserves, insurance, lawsuits and every fee connected with the sale. Section 82.157 of the Texas Property Code caps the charge for producing it at $375. The management certificate says its fees change from time to time and that the managing agent has the current figures, so ask for them before relying on these.
Is there a transfer fee when a Lofts on Post Oak home sells?
Yes. The association's management certificate, signed on 27 February 2026, lists a $250 transfer fee, alongside a $175 statement of fact fee. The certificate lists the fees but does not say who pays each one, which the sale contract and the parties decide.
The management certificate names the fees without describing what each one covers. Because it also warns that these fees change, the resale certificate for the home being sold is the document to rely on: Texas law requires it to list every fee connected with the transfer, with a description of each, who it is paid to and how much it is.
Does a buyer at Lofts on Post Oak pay a working capital contribution?
The management certificate ties it to a purchase from the declarant. It describes a one-time working capital contribution equal to two months of the monthly assessment, payable by each owner buying a home from the declarant, which is the developer that created the condominium.
A buyer from an existing owner is not buying from the declarant, so the certificate names no working capital contribution on a resale. That does not prove there is none, because the declaration may say more than the certificate summarizes. The resale certificate settles it for any one sale, because it must list every fee payable to the association in connection with the transfer.
What will the resale certificate tell me about Lofts on Post Oak?
It must state the regular assessment, anything the seller still owes the association, capital spending approved for the next twelve months, the reserves, unsatisfied judgments and pending lawsuits, the owners' insurance, the managing agent, and every fee tied to the sale, with the operating budget and balance sheet attached.
Those requirements are in Section 82.157 of the Texas Property Code. The seller must also give you the declaration, the bylaws and the association rules, and the certificate must have been prepared no more than three months before you receive it. A buyer, lender or title insurer who relies on the certificate is not liable for a debt it failed to disclose, which is why it is worth reading line by line rather than filing away.
How long does the association have to produce a resale certificate?
Ten days. Under Section 82.157 of the Texas Property Code, a Texas condominium association must furnish the certificate within ten days of receiving a written request from the owner. If it does not, the owner may give the buyer a sworn affidavit instead.
The ten days run from the written request, so a seller who asks early keeps the timeline under control. The Lofts on Post Oak association also lists a $100 rush order fee on its management certificate. Where an owner has given the buyer an affidavit, the two may agree in writing to go ahead without a certificate, but the statute's protection for a buyer who relies on a certificate then has nothing to attach to.
