1. Pay Your Assessments on Time
(CC&Rs – Assessments)
Homeowners must pay monthly assessments on time ($189/month, increasing to $195/month in FY 2026). Staying current avoids late fees, legal costs, and potential collection action. Accounts that fall significantly behind (e.g., around $1,800) can progress to lien and foreclosure processes, so timely payment protects both you and the community.
2. Maintain All Private Landscaping
(CC&Rs Article VI, Section 17)
Each homeowner is responsible for consistently maintaining all landscaping on their lot—including grass, shrubs, trees, and plantings. Lawns should remain healthy, vegetation trimmed, and items like dead palm fronds removed. The goal is a neat, well-kept appearance that complements the neighborhood.
3. Keep Home Exteriors in Good Repair
(Rules & Regs Article VIII, Section 15)
All exterior structures must be kept clean, safe, painted, and in good repair. This includes addressing peeling paint, weathered wood trim, and other visible wear. Regular upkeep not only prevents violations but also keeps property values high across the community.
4. Get Architectural Approval Before Making Changes
(Architectural Guidelines)
Any exterior modification requires prior architectural review—major projects, exterior improvements, and paint color changes. If you’re repainting your home in the existing color, an application typically isn’t required, but color changes must follow the Association’s approved earth-tone palette.
5. Keep Trash Bins and Storage Out of Sight
(CC&Rs Article VIII, Section 12)
Trash cans, bins, and other storage items must be kept fully hidden from streets and neighboring homes. Containers may be placed out only during a reasonable window around your scheduled pickup day, ensuring the community stays tidy and visually consistent.
6. Avoid Interfering With Common Area Property
(Common Area Restrictions)
Common areas should never be altered, modified, or damaged—whether intentionally or accidentally. This includes not changing irrigation components or drilling into common-area slopes. If a homeowner causes harm to Association property, they may be charged for repairs, as has occurred in past incidents.
7. Respond Promptly to Violation Notices
(Compliance Procedures)
If you receive a violation notice, the Association requests quick cooperation in resolving the issue. Deadlines typically range from 7 to 30 days depending on the type of violation. Working collaboratively with management ensures smooth resolution and avoids escalation.
8. Secure Any Required Permits for Your Work
(Owner Responsibility)
Before starting any significant work—especially landscape or tree projects—homeowners are responsible for obtaining any required city or county permits. Ensuring proper approvals protects you, prevents delays, and helps keep the community compliant with local regulations.
