COVENANT VIOLATION FAQ

Q: I am going out of town, and know my lawn may get tall while I am away. Will I get a violation letter?
A: If you are going out of town, and know that your yard may be neglected, please email the Board with the dates, so we can make a note.

Q: What do I do when I get a violation letter?
A: If you get a notice about a covenant infraction, please take care of it as soon as possible and/ or email the Board with a timeline on fixing the violation.

Q: How long do I have to fix a violation?
A: Our community manager, Letitia, inspects the neighborhood approx. every 12 days (2x a month). If a violation noted on the first inspection is not fixed, a letter may be sent for a violation after the second inspection.

Q: Is it true that after 3 violations on my property, we have to face a hearing with the Board, pay fines, and possibly get a lien on our home?
A: Technically, after 3 violations, a homeowner can be called in for a hearing. However, our goal is not to charge fines, have hearings, and get people in “trouble”. We know people are busy, and some things are costly, so communication is key! If you are reasonable and compliant, there will usually be no need for a hearing etc.

The new Board is trying to open the lines of communication with fellow homeowners better, and plan to follow up on cited violations – giving a reasonable amount of time to correct, of course. We are homeowners too, and face the same rules. We all just want our neighborhood to look nice.

If you have a personal struggle or unique situation going on, please do not be afraid to notify the board and ask for help. We want this to be a neighborly community.
