Not quite sure what an HOA is?

Don’t worry, it’s not complicated. HOA stands for Homeowners Association. It’s a legal organization created within a residential community. Your HOA was formed to manage and maintain common areas, amenities, and shared resources in your neighborhood.

Be the neighbor you'd like to have.

Your home might be part of a Homeowners Association (HOA) or a municipality subject to local rules and regulations. Please remember that community standards benefit you and your neighbors. Ignoring these rules could result in fines.** Your HOA or municipal requirements may include: 

Maintaining the landscaping of trees, plants, flowers, and shrubs on your lot.

Walking pets on a leash and disposing waste properly.

Removing holiday decorations within a reasonable amount of time (approximately 10 days).

Storing trash containers in garages or behind a fence, not in driveways or common areas.

Keeping driveways free of oil stains.

Placing trash containers on the street no earlier than the night before trash pick-up and storing them no later than the night of trash collection.

Not displaying signs, foil, cardboard, or any other item visible from the exterior or displayed in the window of your home.

Parking vehicles in the driveway or garage and not covering sidewalk areas or impeding pedestrians. Please be aware of the residential speed limit and watch for pedestrians while driving.

**Please familiarize yourself with the expectations and restrictions that were provided as part of your Lease Agreement.

Violations can be expensive.

We want to make you aware of our violation process to help you avoid unnecessary fees.

Because processing these notices carries an administrative cost, we may charge up to $35 as an "HOA Admin Fee" for any HOA or municipal violation notice we receive for your home.

This is in accordance with your lease agreement.

Take advantage of all the great opportunities your HOA has to offer!
