Frequently Asked Questions
Listed below are some of the more frequently asked questions and
answers about your homeowners association. This list is not all-inclusive,
and there may be some questions you have that are not listed here. Please
feel free to reply to TLC Management with any questions or concerns you
may have, and we’ll be happy to answer them and provide you with
assistance.
- Q:What purpose does a homeowners association management company
serve?
- The management company is hired by the Board of Directors to
oversee, coordinate, and enforce the conditions, covenants and
restrictions for the homeowners association. The management company
performs such duties as maintenance of the budget, tax preparation,
maintain liability insurance, plan and schedule annual and special
meetings, common area maintenance, architectural approval, collect
assessments, prepare budgets, enforce covenants, and send notices of
covenant infractions.
- Q:Do I have to abide by the covenant rules and regulations?
- All members (lot owners) are legally obligated to abide by the
rules and regulations of the covenants for the community in which they
reside. The covenants are recorded at the courthouse of the municipality
in which they live, and are legally enforceable. Compliance with the
covenants benefits all the members of the association in maintaining the
harmony and aesthetic appeal of the neighborhood.
- Q:What will happen if I do not pay my homeowners dues
(assessments)?
- Payment of dues is the responsibility of all members of the
association. Assessments are stipulated in the covenants, and the penalty
for non-payment may subject a homeowner to fines, liens or foreclosures.
- Q:Can anyone report a covenant violation, and if so, will it be
kept confidential?
- Yes, anyone can report a violation of the covenants, and it is
encouraged. The management company makes routine inspections of the
neighborhood, but they cannot and will not see everything. We invite all
members to report any infractions of the covenants. Your privacy and
confidentiality will be honored.
- Q:Do I need permission to build a fence or any exterior structure
on my property?
- Yes. Please review the requirements for architectural approval
stated in your covenants.
- Q:May I place a No Soliciting or No Trespassing sign on my
property?
- Yes. You may place signs to prevent individuals from trespassing
onto your property. However, the signs must be in good condition and meet
the covenant criteria specified for signs of this nature.
