Policy Updates

The Board of Directors made some recent changes within the community and we would like to introduce two new policies that will take effect immediately. The following are policies regarding Towing Enforcement and Short-Term Leasing (example: Airbnb & VRBO). Highlights of each policy are listed below, however, we encourage all residents to read each policy thoroughly.

Short-Term Leasing
  • “Short Term Lease” means leasing a Lot within the Subdivision for a period of less than six (6) consecutive months.
  • Short Term Leases are prohibited in the Subdivision.
  • No Lot shall be leased unless the lease is for the entire Lot. Leasing individual rooms or areas in the same Lot to one or several different tenants is prohibited.
  • No Lot shall be advertised on Airbnb.com, VRBO, or any similar site or advertisement source for a Short Term Lease.
  • Any Owner who leases their Lot for any period of time must provide the following information to the Association, at least 7 days in advance of the effective date of the lease:
    • The Lot Owner’s offsite mailing address, and contact information including phone number and email address.
    • The names and contact information, including phone number and email address of the tenants who will reside at the Lot being leased.
    • The license plate numbers and make and model of the vehicles owned by the tenants who will reside at the Lot being leased that will be present at the Lot during the period of the lease.
    • The number of residents, including all adults, children and dependents, who are authorized to reside in the Lot under the terms of the lease.
  • For any Owner who leases their Lot the lease must be in writing and must specify the following:
    • The tenant agrees to use the Lot solely for the purpose as a single family residence.
    • The Lot may be occupied only by members of the tenant’s immediate family and others whose names are specified in the lease agreement.
    • Neither the tenant, nor the Owner, may sublet or assign the leased Lot or any portion of the leased Lot. 
  • Any Owner who leases their Lot must provide a copy of the Declaration, Bylaws, Rules, Regulations, and all other Governing Documents to their tenant.
  • Any Owner who leases their Lot must provide a copy of the lease agreement to the Association within 7 days of the effective date of the lease, and within 7 days of the effective date of any renewal or extension of the lease.
  • No Owner shall lease the individual amenities of their Lot separate from the entire Lot, including swimming pools and other amenities. Leasing swimming pools or other amenities on a Lot without leasing the entire Lot is prohibited and the Association further considers such uses as violating the “single family residential purposes” restriction.
