Keeping Community Standards
One of the Board’s 2025 Objectives is to improve the appearance of our community by better enforcement of our HOA covenants. The HOA Board is seeking your cooperation in order to improve the community’s appearance and to avoid unnecessary citations and fines, which can be as high as $200 per month for each violation.
​
Please also remember that all changes to the exterior of our homes, and properties, including the removal of trees (15” or larger in diameter) requires the approval of the Architectural Control Committee. Failure to do so can result in significant fines.
Please see the sections below to help understand our community standards which are derived from our covenants.
