Money & Taxes
Fees, Autopay, and Reimbursements
Fee categories
- Share price — one-time, paid at purchase into escrow
- Onboarding fee — one-time, typically rolled into the share price for buyers
- Monthly maintenance fee — covers routine operating costs (utilities, basic upkeep)
- Monthly reserve contribution — builds the reserve fund for unexpected expenses and major repairs
- Insurance premium — your share of the co-ownership policy
- Platform management fee — Slivvy's ongoing fee, disclosed on every listing
- Overage fees — only if you use more than your allocation of days
- Special assessments — only if the group votes one for a capital expense
How fees are paid
Recurring fees are billed in advance for the period (not in arrears) and paid via:
- Bank account (ACH, via Plaid)
- Credit or debit card
- Slivvy Wallet balance
Setting up autopay
Autopay is the easiest way to stay in good standing on your trust score. Set it up under Profile → Payments → Autopay. You can use different methods for different assets if you want.
What happens if you miss a payment
- Grace period — defined in the Operating Agreement (typically a few days)
- Late fee — applied automatically
- Escalation — repeated reminders by email, SMS, and push
- Lien on share — per the Operating Agreement if delinquency continues
Reimbursements
If you paid a vendor or expense personally on behalf of the asset, you can request reimbursement from the reserve fund:
- Upload the receipt or invoice
- Add a description and amount
- Co-owners are notified and approve (or auto-approve under defined thresholds)
- Funds are transferred to your wallet or bank account
Where to see your payment history
Every payment, fee, and reimbursement is logged in Dashboard → Payments. You can filter by asset, category, and date range, and export to CSV.
Escrow protection
Funds never move directly between users. Every share purchase, transfer, and reimbursement flows through Slivvy escrow, so there's a full audit trail and the platform can hold funds when something needs investigating.
