• What you own & maintain: You own your individual lot and may construct improvements within your designated Building Envelope; the association owns and maintains all common areas (including private roads), carries master insurance on shared property, and funds these through assessments.
• Regular assessments: Regular assessments are capped at $600/year for the first year following the first public lot sale, then may increase annually by the greater of 20% or the Consumer Price Index (CPI-U). Assessments are paid quarterly and cover maintenance, management, utilities, landscaping, insurance, and reserves.
• Special assessments: The association may levy special assessments to reimburse costs of bringing owners into compliance with rules and design guidelines, including fines and attorney fees.
