Residents, in turn have obligations to the HOA.  Homeowners are required to pay an assessment determined by the Board.  Generally, this assessment is paid quarterly, your prompt payment of your Association fees is extremely important as the majority of the associations' expenses occur early in the year.  Late fees are assessed and legal action is taken in accordance with your Covenants.  Residents who are past due may not utilize recreational facilities until their account is paid in full.  Whereas, these restrictions may seem harsh, they are for the benefit of the community as a whole.  Additionally, homeowners are required to adhere to the architectural control restrictions set forth in the Covenants and to any guidelines adopted by the Board.
