How do I pay?
When does the HOA meet?
The board meets on a regular cadence and holds an annual meeting open to all homeowners. Upcoming meeting dates are posted on the calendar, and past agendas and minutes live under Documents. To add an item to the agenda, reach out ahead of the next meeting.

What about paint colors, landscaping, satellite dishes?
The Architectural Guidelines and Rules & Regulations cover these. When in doubt, ask before you act.
Are pets allowed? Leashed?
