Overview

Every homeowner plays an important role in maintaining the quality, appearance, and harmony of the community. The HOA manages common property, but each resident is responsible for following community standards and caring for their individual lot.

Typical Homeowner Responsibilities

  • Property Maintenance: Keep lawns mowed, landscaping trimmed, and exteriors clean and in good repair.

  • Trash & Recycling: Follow the community’s collection schedule and placement rules.

  • Parking: Adhere to on-street and driveway parking regulations.

  • Pets: Keep pets leashed and clean up after them in shared areas.

  • Architectural Compliance: Obtain approval before making exterior changes to your home.

  • Dues Payments: Pay assessments on time to fund community operations.

  • Communication: Read notices and announcements posted in the portal or sent by email.

Consequences for Non-Compliance

The HOA may issue notices, fines, or enforcement actions for repeated or serious violations, as outlined in the governing documents.
