The HOA Board is the body responsible for managing the community's finances, enforcement of the governing documents, and maintaining the common areas.  The Board is composed of elected homeowners within the community, working to ensure the smooth functioning of the HOA. 

HOA fees, also known as assessments, are mandatory payments that homeowners must pay to cover the cost of maintaining and operating the HOA community. 

These fees typically cover things like landscaping, insurance, repairs to common areas, lake management, pest control, legal fees, utilities, reserve funds, improvements, repairs and maintenance, and more.

You likely became an HOA member when you purchased property within the HOA community.  The sale contract or deed for your property would have outlined the HOA's existence and your membership as part of the purchase agreement. 

HOA fees are mandatory for all homeowners in the community, per Florida Statute 720.  Failure to pay can lead to consequences such as late fees, liens, and even foreclosure of your home.

The HOA fee can be raised annually. In addition, should an unexpected emergency affect the HOA community and require unexpected remediation cost, homeowners may be assessed special fees commensurate with cost required to restore property to pre-emergency status. 

Should a homeowner not maintain their home or property in compliance with governing documents, after required legal notification describing maintenance or repairs required, the HOA may levy a fine for failure to comply.  In addition, the HOA has a right to complete required changes at cost to the homeowner should maintenance or repairs not be completed by the homeowner.

As a homeowner, your strongest involvement is your vote at the Annual Meeting and Board Meetings where proposed changes have impact to the HOA community as a whole.  It is in every homeowner's best interest to attend HOA Board meetings to be aware of all issues, impacts and improvements taking place or being proposed.

Secondly, homeowners have opportunity, annually, to submit a candidate form and express interest in becoming a Board member.  The candidate form is mailed ahead of the annual meeting and is also found on the Annual Meeting link on the HOA web site landing page. 

Alternatively, you may contact any member of the Board to express interest in providing assistance. Volunteers are welcome (and needed), and there are many opportunities to serve in the HOA.

There are 214 homes in our HOA.
