I am researching the cost of a lodge owning it's own building, my Lodge is in the Ft Worth Masonic Temple and rent is pretty cheap but taxes and current market conditions leave a "?" for it's future and my Lodge is curious as to the exspenses of owning it's own building. We have to pay $25 a member to be in the Temple, which amounts to a little over $5000 for us at 148 about $420 a month and that is all bills paid, grass mowed, trash carried out, pest, maintenance, the whole nine yards is taken care for us by the Temple Com and it's trust fund, we just basicaly show up and get to work. We are in no hurry to leave (our lodge was the first there and will probably be the last to leave) just wanted to crunch the numbers for a what if sceniro. So please post any information you can, Iw ould greatly appreciate.
Does your Lodge own it's own building if so do you share exspenses with any other Masonic body?
How much are dues?
How much $$$ to keep your doors open per year? i.e. rent, electricty, taxes etc..
WHat are the benefits of having your own Lodge building?
