When Do I need to Submit an Architectural Application?
The simple answer is… anytime the change or improvement involves something on the exterior (satellite dish, HVAC, solar or awnings) or if it can be seen from the common area (such as string lights, signs, new windows or doors).
If you are not sure, fill one out anyway.
Do I have to register my guests if they stay overnight?
No, but if your guests stay more than a week, we ask that you register their car if its parked along the curb.
Can I reserve the pool area for a party?
No, but you are welcome to have a party (subject to all guests following the rules) so long as you do not exclude other residents from using the pool area.
What do the HOA dues cover?
Insurance (liability and property), Pool & Spa maintenance, Landscape and irrigation maintenance, Handyman payroll and small repairs, garbage dumpster, Water and Electricity for timers and lighting, Management fees, Legal fees, Accounting and tax prep fees, business licenses, postage and copies.
In addition, we put about 55% of your assessment into savings for reserve components like roofs, gutters, exterior structure repairs, painting, pool and spa equipment, asphalt & driveways, fencing, and landscape replacement to name a few.
