ABI REGISTRATION STEPS
1. Look for and pay your annual invoice emailed Nov 1st (mailed USPS to those without email). If you don't see your invoice in your email inbox, check your SPAM and be sure to change your settings to accept email from us so you don't miss important information. Pay your invoice directly through the email PAY NOW button, mail your payment to ABI at PO Box 365, Crownsville, MD 21032 or drop your payment off at the Town Hall (locked) Dropbox located at 1020 Omar Drive.
ALL MANDATORY ANNUAL LOT ASSESSMENTS AND REGULATORY ACCESS USER FEES MUST BE PAID PRIOR TO ORDERING AMENITIES
2. Order your beach and amenity passes. Passes are NOT automatically mailed upon payment of the annual invoice. Owners must complete the Owner Beach Pass & Amenity Order Form before passes can be mailed. Note that the Registrar will not know who to issue passes to without completion of the order form. All Non-Owner Residents over the age of 21 must request credentials individually using the Non-Owner Beach Pass & Amenity Order Form.
IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FOR RESIDENTS TO PROVIDE THE REQUIRED VERIFICATION DOCUMENTATION WITH AMENITY ORDER REQUESTS IN ORDER TO BE PROCESSED IN A TIMELY FASHION. THIS INFORMATION IS NOT STORED BY ABI. ORDERS WITH MISSING DOCUMENTATION WILL NOT BE PROCESSED.
3. Pay your order invoice in a timely fashion so that the Registrar can complete the order process and get your credentials to you. Note that owner and owner dependent (21 and under) beach passes are no charge. If you are only requesting passes, they will be mailed upon receipt of your signed order form.
