After sending three (3) billing notices and numerous emails to delinquent homeowners, a total of ten (10) liens were filed with Thurston County last week for non-payment of dues.  A total of 110 out of 120 homeowners have paid their dues.  Thank you to all who have paid.  Delinquent homeowners are responsible for the dues, interest and costs of filing/removing the liens.  These costs will ultimately be recouped  when the property is transferred if the homeowner continues to be delinquent.  The Board is also looking at the possibility of taking action against delinquent homeowners in small claims court.  Also FYI, our insurance premiums are fully paid, IRS tax forms timely filed, PO Box renewed and non-profit corporate status properly extended for another year.

As the weather improves, it's not unexpected that homeowners may want to paint their homes or make other changes to the exterior of their property.  The HOA Board and Architectural Control Committee (ACC) fully support homeowners wanting to improve their lots but please remember that an ACC design review request must be submitted.  The process is rather easy with a fast turn-around time and we do not charge a fee like other associations.  The form to submit an ACC request can be found on the website under the "Helpful Links" section.  Homeowners that make changes to the exterior of their homes without ACC approval may face fines, liens or other legal action.
