What is the purpose of the Association?

How is the association organized?
The Association is a Non-profit organization organized under the Nevada Corporation Law and Nevada Revised Statues116.

Initial Board members are appointed by the Declarant. The first homeowner member is elected to the Board within 60 days from when 25% of the homes are sold. There are usually 3-5 members on the board. The By-laws specify the number of board members needed as well as the term of each member.
When do assessments start?
Assessments start upon the first day of the first month following the close of escrow date. If your assessments are paid semi-annually, you will receive a statement reminding you of the due date. If you assessments are paid monthly, you will receive a coupon book. However, it is the homeowner’s responsibility to ensure that payments are kept up to date and paid on time.
What does the assessment cover?
Assessments are collected monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually. The amount of your community assessment can be found on the current budget and on your coupon book. The budget outlines specifically what the assessment covers.

How do I report a violation?
You may report a violation in 2 ways.
1. You may call our office and relay your concern to your community manager. However, your manager will need to have a written complaint in order for it to be presented to the Board of Directors
2. You may put your concern in writing and either fax or mail it to us.
How does the violation process work?
The violation process is a 3 step process. When a violation has been noted by the manager or when it is first brought to our attention, a Courtesy Notice is sent out. The homeowner has 14 days to rectify the violation or to contact us to talk about the particular violation. If the violation has not been rectified and no contact has been made, a Compliance Notice is sent. Again, if nothing has been rectified and no contact has been established than a Call to Hearing notice is sent. The Call to Hearing notice calls the homeowner(s) to a hearing before the Board of Directors. This meeting takes place even if the homeowner(s) fails to attend. At that time, the Board of Directors decide what action they would like to take next. A fine is usually implemented and a final notice is sent to the homeowner(s) documenting the outcome of the meeting.
Can I make exterior changes or additions to my property?
All exterior changes or additions must be approved before work may begin. You must submit and Architectural application. Along with the completed application must be a drawing or plan showing the work to be done. Any additions or changes done without approval will be put into the violation process. If the work has already been completed and subsequently is denied, the work will have to be removed at the owner’s expense. The application can be found in the paperwork that you received when you closed on your house or we can mail or fax you a copy.
