Already paying a CA assessment?

If you own property in Columbia, you already contribute to CA through your annual assessment. That's what funds the open space, pathways, and CA's infrastructure. Membership is the add-on that unlocks the facilities — and residents receive significantly reduced rates because of that contribution.

Membership FAQs

Do I need to be a Columbia resident to join?
No — CA memberships are open to everyone. Columbia residents receive reduced rates because they already contribute through the annual assessment fee.
What's included in a household membership?
All adults and dependent children living at the same address. There's no limit on household size. Each adult gets their own membership card.
Can I try before I join?
Yes — CA offers guest passes and introductory tour options at most fitness clubs. Contact the club directly or call (410) 715-3000 to arrange a visit.
Are pools included in my membership?
Yes. All outdoor pools (seasonal) and indoor aquatic facilities are included with any CA membership at no additional charge.
What's the difference between the assessment and membership?
The assessment is paid by Columbia property owners and funds open space and general operations. Membership is a separate fee that unlocks facility and program access.
Is there a joining fee?
CA periodically waives joining fees during promotional periods. Check with member services or sign up online to see current offers.
