General FAQs

The following is a list of the most recent questions we have received and our answer to those questions. If you have questions that are not answered here, please feel free to reach out to our board of directors.

How do I change my contact information with the HOA?

You should send any contact information changes like address, phone number, email etc to the Sec/Treasurer as soon as possible. This insures you will receive all notices of meetings, assessments etc timely.

Who maintains the roads in the subdivision?

The roads belong to and are maintained by the HOA. Most of your annual assessments go to the upkeep of the roads. Men (and sometimes women) of the neighborhood volunteer to work on “road crews” to do patches and seal cracks and make other minor repairs. Larger road projects are contracted out when there is enough money to pay a contractor.

I want to build a home, do an addition to my home or build at fence or swimming pool-who do I contact?

The HOA has an architectural control committee in charge of approving all building plans. Decorating, landscaping and painting do not need committee approval. Any project that constructs a fence or constructs a building or addition requires approval before commencing work.

I see something in the neighborhood that I believe violates one of the covenants or deed restrictions-what do I do?

Please contact a member of the board/officers for advice on how to proceed. What you believe to be a departure from the covenants and deed restrictions may not actually be a problem. The board/officers do not have the right to levy fines in all cases, so you may be forced to file suit in court to enforce the violation.

I want to construct or make changes to my boat house or retaining wall-who do I contact?

All construction and improvements below the elevation of 320 feet is under the control of Tarrant Regional Water District. You would have to contact them for any construction that takes place under 320 feet elevation including sidewalks and fences.

When are officers/board members elected?

At our annual meeting in February each year. Any property owner in good standing (assessments are paid) can be nominated to be on the board at that meeting. Terms are for one year.

How much are the assessments each year?

The normal assessment is $300 per lot per year based on the original plat of 81 lots. Some lots have been combined into one lot since the original plat, but assessments are still due based on the original plat. From time to time there may be special assessments for road repairs and the like that are voted on by the property owners.

How much are the assessments and when are they due?

The assessments are due as of January 1 of each year and are past due as of January 31. The assessments are paid in advance, i.e. assessments due January 1, 2020 are assessments for the year of 2020. Special assessments will be due 60 days after notice to each property owner. Any assessments that become delinquent subject the property to having a lien filed to protect the HOA. The HOA will offer each property owner that is delinquent an “Alternative Payment Plan” that allows them to pay out the obligation over the year. A $100 administrative fee is added for all alternative payment plans.

How do I pay my assessments?

You will receive an invoice from the treasurer each December for your annual assessments (assuming you have a correct address on file with the Secretary/Treasurer) and a special invoice for each special assessment stating the due date for payment. You may mail your payment to the treasurer at 450 Hidden Oaks Lane, Corsicana, TX 75109, hand deliver your payment to the treasurer, or pay online via a credit card. Credit Card payments are subject to a 3% convenience fee to cover the cost to the HOA from the credit card companies.

What is the process for amending the Covenants and Deed Restrictions?

A property owner must submit any proposed amendment to the board. The submission must include a signed petition by property owners of at least 10 lots to be considered. If the amendment is to change the language of a current rule, the proposal must show the original rule and the changes to be made. If the amendment is a new provision, that should be presented as it would be adopted and in what section of the Covenants and Deed restrictions. The amendment will then be presented to the property owners for adoption. Each property owner can cast a vote for each lot they own. The amendment must receive 54 positive votes (2/3 of 81 lots) from the property owners to pass.
