Is there a cap on HOA dues?
There is no cap on dues. While of course, we would like to keep dues as low as possible for all residents, the reality is that there are many financial obligations that we are responsible for, including: electric, insurance, HOA fees, common ground and front entrance maintenance, mailing fees, lawyer retainment, to name a few.
Who can vote at HOA meetings?
Any resident who is current on their dues.
When is the next election for board members?
March/April for 2024-2026. Every 2 years.
Can I personally request a board meeting to discuss neighborhood concerns or issues?
Yes. Please reach out to the board members and be prepared to state your concern. You will be asked to present the details of the issue and a clear agenda for the meetings. Depending on the nature of the issue, the board may need to reconvene after discussion/research.
Can anyone apply to be a candidate for the board?
Yes, with some requirements. The resident should be in good standing with their dues up-to-date and having no violations of the neighborhood CCRs.
How many members can the board have?
By HOA rules, the number is 5 or 7 members.
What is the value in having an HOA?
Studies show that having an HOA results in a 4-20% increase in overall value of home and property versus non-HOA residential areas. (Based on recent home sales in our subdivision, this could equate to a 20k to 100k increase on a home valued at 500,000.)
How are positions on the board selected?
After board members are selected, those members as a group select who will serve as president and vice president. The rest serve as members of the board. The position of treasurer and secretary are filled by the management company.
Do board members receive payment?
No. It is all on a voluntary basis—you volunteer to serve.
What do I do if I want to build something new on my property?
Before building, residents shall provide a detailed plan, including location, to the HOA Architectural Committee (ARC). The new structure must retain the look of your current home’s style and outside finish (brick, siding etc…). Please allow up to two weeks for a reply. If you have questions, please reach out to the board of directors, using the contact information on the Board of Directors page.
Who is on the Architectural Committee (ARC)?
Current members are: Lew Decker, Buddy Ogles and Peter Logan. If you need to reach out to any member, you can find their contact information here.
Where can I find the Architecture form?
You can find the ARC form here. Please complete the form and provide as many details and plans as possible so the ARC can make a decision. Please include your contact information on the form so that someone from the board may be able to reach you with any questions or information.
