Complete Fee Schedule — 2BR, 1,200 sqft, $75K state HHI
$1,065. Every line item.
The monthly fee is a flat per-square-foot charge. Every category has its own escrow account and Hyperledger chain. Every dollar is traceable. Nothing is pooled.
The Ladder Fee Formula
Tied to Your State's Reality
The Ladder Fee is not arbitrary. It is calculated from the prior year state median household income — recalibrated annually so it never disconnects from the economy you live in.
(State Prior Year Median HHI × 5%) ÷ 12 months ÷ 900 sqft = $/sqft/month
Example at Indiana HHI $63,000:
Why fees replace property taxes
Transparent by Design
Appreciation never taxed
Fee is based on sqft only. If the town becomes more desirable, your monthly fee does not change.
Separate escrow per category
Clinic money can only pay clinic contracts. Security money can only pay security. Misallocation is technically impossible.
Every dollar on Hyperledger
Real-time balance, allocation, and expenditure for every fee category. Published quarterly.
KPIs voted by stewards
Every fee has a Quiet Council-voted performance metric. If the clinic underperforms, stewards can adjust the allocation.
Changes require 6-month debate
Per-sqft fees can only change via Quiet Council vote after a full deliberation cycle. No surprise increases.
CLT Ground Lease — Escalation Table
Security Failure Has a Price Tag
The CLT ground lease starts at $0.00. It only increases if the town's security and crime metrics fail. The escalation is designed to make the town unaffordable long before year 5 — a structural deterrent that makes the security officers' incentive alignment obvious to every steward.
