Who runs the HOA? Your neighbors do. We are a volunteer-managed community. The Board of Directors and other volunteers operate the HOA, from managing our fire service vendors and landscaping vendor to picking up trash. We have a limited management company, CMA, to manage financial matters (see more below under dues). If you are interested in volunteering in any capacity, please reach out via the contact info below.
How can I contact the HOA? For most items, the best way is to send a message to the managers group on HOA Messenger app (download it to your phone in the app store and register yourself). You can also contact the secretary through emailhere, but response is not as fast.

Does the HOA pay for exterior maintenance? The HOA maintains landscaping and upkeep of fire riser rooms. Maintenance of unit exteriors, such as painting trim, replacing roof or repairing brick is the responsibility of the homeowner. I want to lease my home. What are the rules? For the full policy refer to the Leasing Document. Simply put, Owner may not lease his or her home until the home has been owned for at least one year AND approved by HOA. Additionally, at any given time, no more than 30% of the homes in the neighborhood may be leased. Texas laws regarding leasing have changed in the past year and the HOA Board is in the process of updating the leasing document. However, it is anticipated that the basic rules mentioned above will remain in place. Should homeowner not follow the leasing rules, owner's unit is subject to violations at anytime in noncompliance.
I want to purchase a home and immediately lease it out. What are the rules? See the previous question. A home must be owned for at least one year before it can be leased. The fine for noncompliance of this rules is $750 plus $50 per day until the owner is in compliance.

I want to have work done in my attic, such as AC replacement - how can I protect against damaging the fire system and my property? Because our homes have high-pressure water sprinkler fire safety systems, it is extremely important that homeowners inform workers of the fire sprinkler pipes (black iron attic pipes and orange PVC pipes under the insulation) and verify workers' insurance coverage in case of accident. Other safety mechanisms include building guards to protect pipes during work, and draining/refilling the sprinkler system (this is safest but costs approximately $2,000 in labor as of 2023; the homeowner is responsible.
How should I protect my home if I am not there for an extended period, like a vacation or trip? If you are away for an extended period, we recommend to turn off the water to your home at the shutoff box in the landscaping by your front door. Very small issues like toilet leaks can seriously damage a house if left unattended for an extended time.
