Your Role & Responsibilities

---

Members of the homeowners association have two responsibilities: one to themselves and to their individually owned property and one to the association and the community concept. The individual responsibility requires the member (that's YOU) to occupy, maintain and  use the property in accordance with the restrictive covenant(s). By doing so, the member avoids the penalties and sanctions the association can impose when enforcing the restrictions. By meeting the individual financial obligations, the member avoids the possibility of liens against the property and the levy of additional penalties and costs at the time delinquent assessments are collected.

The collective goal of the homeowners association is to maintain the quality of the property and the lifestyle envisioned by the planned residential development. Apathy (i.e. lack of interest, enthusiasm or concern) by individual members can render the association ineffective and can destroy the community concept. To maintain the quality of life that accompanies a well-maintained residential community, each individual member MUST DO HIS or HER PART. The success of the homeowners association will depend on how well each member meets and keeps the responsibilities that are established by the covenant(s) creating the overall community concept.
