- Resident Associate $110: an adult child of a member living at home between the ages of 26 through 29 is no longer eligible to be listed as a “child” on a family membership but may become a Resident Associate on your Membership for an additional $110. Adult children aged 30 and older must purchase their own bond (if their parent is a bonded member) or join the waitlist. Caregivers, nannies, and au pairs do not qualify for the Resident Associate category.

- Inactivity Fee: $300: members may pay a $300 inactivity fee in lieu of their annual dues. By paying this fee, all members on the account do not surrender their membership but cannot use any Palisades facilities for the current operating year. Once the inactivity fee is paid, the member must wait for the next dues season to fully reinstate their membership for the following operating year. Beginning in 2024, membership accounts may only be inactive for no more than an aggregate of two seasons. Any Palisades account can go inactive for no more than two seasons throughout the duration of the Palisades membership. Inactive seasons prior to 2024 will not count toward the two aggregate seasons.
