Qualified residents can purchase short-term Privilege Cards
Beginning May 1, qualified Sun City residents will be able to purchase RCSC Privilege Cards for 30-, 60- or 90-day periods. The cost for short-term Privilege Cards will be $60 per person per month. Yearlong Privilege Cards will still be available for $210. The Board of Directors approved the short-term Privilege Card options at the April 29 Board meeting.
Privilege Cards provide access to RCSC facilities and activities but not the ability to vote in RCSC elections. Privilege Cards are an option for Sun City residents who meet the requirements outlined in Corporate Bylaws Article II Section 3 and Board Policy #8 – Privilege Cardholders. In general, qualified residents may obtain a Privilege Card as long as:
- at least one Owner or Non-Owner who occupies the Sun City property is 55 years of age or older;
- the Non-Owner occupies the Sun City property as his/her primary Arizona residence unless his/her other Arizona residence is farther than seventy-five (75) miles from Sun City in which case the Non-Owner(s) must provide proof that he/she occupies the Sun City residence as well
- the Non-Owner is not under 19 years of age, and;
- the property assessments and fees, where such Non-Owner resides, are current.
Although any Sun City resident who meets the qualifications for a Privilege Card may purchase one, these short-term cards will likely be a benefit to short-term residents who rent a home in Sun City for no more than three months and those who may wish to try out RCSC amenities before purchasing a home in Sun City.
Short-term Privilege Cards are available at Cardholder Services, which is on the lower level of Lakeview Recreation Center. If any resident is unsure whether they meet the qualifications, logon to RCSC’s website (www.sunaz.com) and click on the Board tab to find links to the Corporate Bylaws and Board Policies, or call Cardholder Services at 623-561-4603.
