How We Protect Your Property and the Community

Enforcement

Neighbors behind on dues are contacted directly to understand the situation. If the neighbor attest payment will occur on certain date and that date elapses, the Board will place a lien and send to a collections agency. After 12-24 months, the Board will vote to foreclose or pursue further collections depending on the situation. The Board has full authority to pursue enforcement actions.

Violations

The Board or Management company delivers a violation notice with a date of expected correction. If that date elapses, a fine of $10 per day is levied. Then that fine accumulates and is passed to a collections agency. Further enforcement includes liens and foreclosures.
