Assessment dues are due by the end of January for that calender year.

The maintenance and management services incurred by the association are dependent upon timely receipt of the assessments due from each homeowner. It is important for all homeowners to pay their assessments so that the association can avoid financial difficulties and perhaps suspension of various vendor services to the association. Homeowners should view the validity of an association assessment invoice much like they do their own utility and mortgage bills. In addition, the CCR’s generally contain provisions that allow associations to charge late fees and/or interest and pursue further legal action for nonpayment of assessments.

One of the best ways to get involved in your home’s community is to join the Homeowner’s Association. These boards are made up entirely of homeowners in the community, and the positions are set by election during the Annual HOA Meeting. Benefits: Taking a seat on your community’s HOA board has many benefits, including making a positive, impactful difference in your community. You help set fair rules and regulations that homeowners have to abide by, so you gain a better understanding of the community’s policies and financials. If you’re elected, you also have a voice when it comes to changing any unfair codes. You can protect your home and stabilize the neighborhood’s property values by maintaining a high-quality living environment. The policies put in place are with the intention of betterment and harmony within the community, so you’ll help instill a sense of pride throughout the neighborhood. You can schedule fun, free neighborhood events for your community to attend, and you can meet new neighbors. Taking an elected seat on an HOA board is a powerful resume builder because it takes leadership, and the volunteer hours add up.

Elected HOA Board members meet quarterly on the first Thursday of the month in the last month of the quarter.

The Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions are the legal governing documents that set up the guidelines for the operation of the planned community as a non-profit corporation. The CCR’s were recorded by the county recorder’s office of the county in which the property is located and are included in your title to your property. Failure to comply by the CCR’s may result in action against a homeowner by the association. Links to copies of the CCR's available on the Newcomb Group's website can be found by navigating to the Forms and Documents page.

The Bylaws are the guidelines for the operation of the non-profit corporation. The Bylaws define the duties of the various offices of the Board of Directors, the terms of office, the membership’s voting rights, required meetings and notices of such meetings, quorum requirements as well as other specific items that are necessary to run the association as a business.

Covenants and Bylaws are available online through the Newcomb Group's website. Navigate to the Forms and Documents page for links to follow and instructions on how to get to the Newcomb Group website.

Community association governance often involves striking a balance between the wishes of an individual homeowner and the best interests of the community as a whole. Our association has well-established rules and regulations that provide a framework within each homeowner can express individual tastes and preferences. These rules and regulations offer a basis for treating all homeowners fairly and reasonably. Every homeowner agrees to abide by these standards when they purchase their home. Our association utilizes an Architectural Control Committee to review and render decisions regarding all architectural improvement submissions. Proper paperwork regarding the project must be submitted by the homeowner for consideration. Please refer to our Forms and Documents page to download a copy of the Architectural Control form which explains the specific documents and instructions needed for submission. Please note that it can take up to 30 days for the committee to render a decision. Please do not assume your project is approved without the appropriate documented clearance. Projects that do not meet the community standards as outlined in the CCR’s and subsequent architectural guidelines may be at risk of required removal or adaptations.
