If fees are not paid on time, a late fee and interest may be assessed, and your account will be referred to collections if payment remains delinquent after 90 days. We encourage homeowners to reach out to us if they’re facing financial difficulties, as we may be able to offer payment arrangements or work out a solution.

Rules & Compliance

Yes, the HOA is responsible for enforcing the community’s rules and regulations, which are designed to ensure the safety, appearance, and property values of the community. Violations of these rules may result in warnings, fines, or other actions as outlined in the community’s governing documents.

We do routine drive-throughs of many of our communities to observe and document violations. Additionally, we take owner/resident reports through our website and by email. In order to keep these reports anonymous, we do require picture or video documentation of all violations.

The majority of our communities require prior approval for exterior modifications. Homeowners should submit a request for approval via the Architectural Request Form available on our website. You can email, mail, or drop off the completed. The Architectural Committee (ACC or ARC) will review and approve or deny requests based on community guidelines. Please note that the committee has up to 30 days to approve or deny your request.

If you disagree with a board decision, you can express your concerns by attending board meetings, contacting the board members directly, or submitting a formal appeal. In some cases, the HOA’s governing documents may outline specific processes for challenging board decisions.

Meetings & Participation

Many HOAs organize community events, such as holiday parties, clean-up days, or social gatherings, to help foster a sense of community. Keep an eye out for emailed notices or contact Association Services BCS to find out what events are planned and how you can participate.

Most Board meetings are open to all homeowners. The schedule and agenda for upcoming meetings are posted on our website and/or sent out through email. If you’d like to attend or speak at a regular or special Board meeting, please check the meeting details for any specific requirements or sign-up procedures. Please be aware that while Board meetings are open to all homeowners, the purpose of Board meetings is for the Board of Directors to conduct business, and as such, not all meetings may have a homeowner forum, although you are still welcome to attend any such meeting. Executive Board meetings are not open to all homeowners, and only the Board of Directors may attend; a brief generalized summary will be provided if any action is taken in an executive Board meeting.

If you’re interested in becoming more involved, consider attending board meetings, volunteering for committees, or running for a position on the board. Many associations are always looking for engaged residents to help make the community better. If you are interested in getting involved in the HOA or volunteering within your community, please contact our office by phone or email, and we will be happy to assist you further!
