Governance

You may often hear people reference “The Documents”. They are a set of documents that cover the legal organization of the homeowners association and standards set for the community. Click here for the complete documents book. You can click here for a Quick Reference Guide to the documents.

The legal documents within the document book are the Declaration of Restrictions and Covenants, By-Laws, and Articles of Incorporation. Also within the document book is the Community Standards document. The Declarations and Community Standards can be used as reference documents that give specifics for the items in the Quick Reference Guide. It is highly recommended that all homeowners read through all documents in the document book and then the Quick Reference Guide can be used as reminders.

In 2000 and 2001 the Declarations were amended. Click here to see the specific amendments. These amendments override the corresponding sections in the Declarations.

On 27 JUN 2022, the Community Standards were amended. The amendment can be found here.
