Mountain High HOA

What Mountain High HOA's governing documents say

Mountain High HOA is a single-family home community in Bend, Oregon, with three villages (Alpine, Aspen, Willow Creek). These amended and restated bylaws and CC&Rs govern the entire planned community and bind all lot owners. The Association manages common areas, roads, and facilities; each village has its own committee for unique village characteristics like landscaping and fencing.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and home. The Association maintains common property (e.g., main entry road, common areas) and the village maintains its own village common property (e.g., village roads, monuments). Each owner is responsible for their own lot and home, subject to architectural and landscape rules.
• Architectural review: No exterior changes, additions, painting, fences, or structures may begin without written approval from your Village Committee. Plans must be submitted; the committee has up to 20 days from a completed application to decide. If no decision, you may appeal to the Board. Approval expires if work doesn't start within one year.
• Accessory dwelling units & subdivision: No accessory dwelling units are allowed on any lot, even if zoning permits them. No lot may be subdivided or partitioned to create additional buildable lots.
• Use restrictions: All lots are restricted to residential use only.
• Assessments: You must pay annual general assessments (shared equally among all lots), possible village-specific assessments, and special assessments. The board may increase the annual assessment up to 5% per year without a vote; larger increases require a majority of members present at a meeting. Special assessments up to $250 per lot per year can be imposed by the board; above that requires approval by 60% of votes cast by written ballot.
• Voting & meetings: Each lot gets one vote. Annual meetings are required; 20% of members (in person or by proxy) constitute a quorum. Board of Directors has 5 to 9 members, each village elects one director per 50 lots (or fraction). Directors serve 3-year terms. Balloting for director elections and CC&R amendments is by mail.
• Enforcement & fines: The Board can adopt a schedule of fines and impose fines for rule violations. You get written notice and may request a hearing within 10 days. Fines can become a lien on your lot. Late fees up to 5% or $50 (whichever greater) and interest at 15% per year on unpaid assessments.
• Unique village characteristics: Each village (Alpine, Aspen, Willow Creek) has its own rules for architecture, landscaping, fencing, and other features detailed in addendums to the Rules & Regulations. Village committees oversee these and can propose rules, but the Board ultimately adopts them.
