This is a formal notice from the Crossings at Deerfoot Owners Association regarding your responsibilities for maintaining the appearance and condition of your property as required in the Declaration of Covenants. These standards are crucial for preserving community property values and neighborhood appeal.
Your Maintenance Responsibilities
- All yards must be properly sodded and maintained to be free of weeds.
- Edge all areas along sidewalks, driveways, and walkways.
- Remove weeds from all flower beds and yard areas.
- Trim and maintain all hedges, bushes, and flowerbeds in a healthy, neat condition.
- Replenish pine straw or mulch in beds as needed.
- Remove dead trees, shrubs, or plantings immediately.
- Screen from view: equipment, service/storage areas, and anything unsightly.
- Keep sidewalks, driveways, and walkways clean and pressure-washed as needed.
- Maintain all exterior painted or stained surfaces in good repair.
- Changes visible from the street require Architectural Review Committee (ARC) approval before work begins.
- Rental of homes is strictly prohibited.
Property Maintenance Fine Schedule
To promote compliance, the Association Board has adopted the following fine structure for property maintenance violations:
- Initial Notice: You have until August 31, 2025 to correct any violations.
- Unresolved after August 31:
- 1st violation notice (as of September 1): $100 fine
- Not corrected within an additional 30 days (by September 30): Additional $200 fine
- Not corrected by October 31: Additional $300 fine
- Violations continuing after November 1, 2025: Additional $300 per month will accrue
Example:
If a violation is not corrected until November 1, 2025, you will be assessed $600 in fines ($100 + $200 + $300). If it continues beyond November 1, each additional month will add $300 in fines.
Important:
- These fines are in addition to any costs incurred by the Association if it must undertake corrective action.
- Per the covenants, unpaid fines and costs may result in a lien being placed on your property, enforceable as an HOA assessment. Balances / Dues not paid within 90 day of the due date will continue to accrue penalties and a lien will be enforced.
Action Required
Please inspect your property and correct any maintenance issues by August 31, 2025, to avoid fines and additional enforcement actions.
For any questions, or to request ARC approval or a waiver, please contact the HOA Board or Architectural Committee promptly.
Thank you for your cooperation and for helping maintain the beauty and value of our community.
