Frequently Asked Questions

The HOA is on a July to June fiscal year. The dues have been the same for the past 3 years.

We are considering increasing the dues for the 2026/2027 fiscal year.

This HOA board holds an annual meeting as per the bylaws where we hold board elections. The board consists of 5 board members, 3 are up for election in even years and 2 in odd years to maintain continuity on the board.

A bi-monthly open board meeting is held on even months when the community is updated on current committee activities as well as monthly financials are reviewed. Board meeting minutes and budgets are posted on the website for future reference

Yes, there is Moore’s trash service. Trash is picked up on Tuesdays, it must be in bags and inside a trash receptacle.

There is also recycling and trash in Dunlap but you have to take it to the center.

The developer accesses a 3% development fee for each new home construction project. The developer gives 1/3 of that fee to the HOA as an Impact Fee, which covers for wear and tear on the roads, culverts, and ditches, where we can’t pinpoint exactly who caused the damage. 

 

In the event we identify that a particular contractor has caused damage we work directly with the contractor to pay (or repair) the damage

There is no brush pickup in the development. There are local tree services available to cut and remove dead or fallen trees. Homeowners can burn brush when allowed. There is also a local place in town where you can take brush on the last Saturday of each month

The HOA is also planning a brush pickup day as part of our "Firewise Community" recognition.

In 2022, 6 miles of roads were tar and chipped by the developer. The dues were increased in 2022 which enabled us to begin building a reserve for roads, the lodge, gates, (which we have 12) as well as a general reserve fund.

 

A multi-phase project has been developed to resurface the remaining 14 miles of roads, as well as a cycle of resurfacing all roads every 10 years or so. The first phase occurred in the fall of 2024 with a plan to continue to do additional sections next year.

 

As this was a major project, a special election was held for the community to vote on this, which was approved. Additionally, the roads committee has an expense budget for small repairs to the roads such as potholes or ditch work that gets affected by storms and water over time.

There is no community storage area for boats and they are not allowed to be stored on or near lakes/ponds.

Boats of any kind will need to be stored in a covered facility on the owner’s property or off site.

The Lodge is used for community as well as private events.

Our committees as well as residents hold events such as emergency preparedness, fire safety, gardening, guest speakers, etc.

The social committee plans periodic events throughout the year. We also have groups that organize potlucks, concerts, and Fireside Fridays from time to time.

The website is updated by the board and used quite frequently by members. Everything is posted on the website (such as the governing documents.

 

Member directories, monthly financials, minutes to all meetings, monthly newsletters, events, calendar, and much more) for easy access by the members.

 

We use 3 other tools to communicate with all owners:

- Email: MailChimp is used to send out communications (meeting notices, community notifications etc) to all members

- Monthly Newsletter: emailed at the beginning of each month to all members providing committee updates and notices on current events

- Signup Genius: event invitations to upcoming community events, allowing neighbors to sign up for events
