Association FAQs
-
Who Runs a Homeowners Association?
A homeowners association is led by a board of directors who have been elected by the homeowners. Most often, the board consists of fellow homeowners with an interest in keeping the neighborhood strong. -
What Happens if I Don't Pay the HOA Special Assessment?
As long as the HOA was acting within its powers, your nonpayment could potentially result in late fees, prohibition on use of common areas, and a lien on your property. -
Can Homeowners Change the Rules
If you find that a particular rule or set of rules is unfair to the betterment of the community, you can vote to change it. Read your association’s CC&Rs, which should detail how to propose and pass new amendments. The solution could waver on a specific number of votes being cast or a certain amount of people showing up to a special meeting. -
What are the CC&R's?
CC&R’s (Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions) describe the rights and obligations of the association and of each owner. The content of the CC&R’s can vary widely from one association to another, so make sure you read and understand your specific documents. -
What do Fees Pay for?
Like any budget, a homeowners association budget is designed to reflect upcoming debts such as utilities, landscaping and administration. The reserve fund is money that has been set aside for future expenses, such as new lighting, fencing, and street resurfacing. A rule of thumb is that the bigger the building, the bigger the HOA dues. It stands to reason that when there are more windows, structural elements, and a larger electrical system, there are going to be more maintenance issues.

How do I pay my security deposit and move-in funds, and where do I pay them?
Security deposits and move-in funds must be paid in two separate amounts using certified funds or a cashier’s check, brought to our office. If you’re paying after 5pm Monday through Thursday, after 2pm Friday, or over the weekend, you can drop off payment in the lockbox located outside our office door. -
How do I pay my rent?
You can pay rent through your resident portal or in person at our office. In your portal, go to the “Make Payment” tab, where you’ll find several electronic payment options.

Mailed payments must be received by the due date to avoid being considered late, and if paying by check, please include your property address on it.

Why isn’t my portal letting me make a payment?
This is usually because a previous payment was returned. If your ledger shows an “NSF” charge, you’ll need to pay with certified funds for 60 days before you can resume paying through the portal. If you’re a new resident and haven’t made a payment yet, please send us a message through your portal so we can look into it. -
How do I submit a work order?
You can submit a maintenance request directly through your resident portal. For step-by-step instructions, see this guide:

Owners: when do I get paid?
Owner distributions are processed on the first business day after the 7th of each month. If a resident’s rent hasn’t cleared the bank by that time, it’s reviewed every two days, and funds are distributed once payment clears. -
Owners: where can I find my statement, and when is it available?
Your monthly statements are available in the “Statements” tab of your owner portal. Statements are posted on or near the 5th of each month and reflect the previous month’s activity; transactions from the current month are not included. -
If I have a promise-to-pay date, can my late fee be waived?
Late fees are not waived under our standard policy. If you have questions about your specific situation, please send us a message through your portal. -
I can’t log in, or my portal only shows “Select Portal” or “Log Out” and won’t load. What should I do?
This is usually an account or system glitch. Start by resetting your password. If that doesn’t resolve it, please contact our office so we can check your account and restore access. -
I didn’t receive my password-reset email. What should I do?
First, confirm we have the correct email on file. If it’s correct, check your spam folder. If you still don’t see it, contact our office and we’ll resend it or restore your portal access manually. -
