What are the Governing Documents?

  • POA governing documents are legally binding, hierarchical documents—including the CC&Rs, Bylaws, and Rules—that establish the rules, operational structure, and property restrictions for a homeowners association.

Why do we have an Annual Property Owners' Meeting?

  • An Annual Property Owners' Meeting is a legally required, typically once-a-year gathering designed to maintain transparency, ensure financial accountability, and provide a forum for community decisions. It enables homeowners to vote on board elections, review budgets, discuss upcoming projects, and voice concerns, directly impacting community management and property values.

  • Property Owners meetings, including annual and open board meetings, are open to all members of the Property Owners Association in good standing—meaning they are current on dues and have no pending Covenant violations. Only those whose names appear on the property title can attend.

Architectural Control & Improvements

Do I need approval for exterior changes?

We recommend always seeking approval for a change to the exterior of your property and/or landscaping before commencing any work
