Assessments are due as determined by the HOA board; unpaid assessments become a lien and may be foreclosed. The HOA maintains roads, gated entry, garbage, and common area landscaping. Damages to road caused by owner/guests are owner's responsibility. Gated entry will remain open for at least 18 months after developer completes improvements, then HOA votes on closure.
