Blue Heron Bay Property Owners Association A note to the community August 10th, 2024 Hello all, It is our goal as your POA Board to maintain a beautiful neighborhood for all. We want you to enjoy living here, keep property values at their peak and keep our community the best in the area. Deed Restrictions were created to maintain these standards.
We want to ensure that all members of the community are adhering to these restrictions but also wanted to provide a 15 day grace period for all members to selfcorrect any issues that are currently not in line with the restrictions. Below is a list of some of the current violations throughout the community that do need to be rectified. This list is not all inclusive and is not aimed specifically at any one member of the community. A list of fine amounts for infractions is also attached.
• Deed Restrictions along with State and County leash laws mandate that all dogs be on a leash whenever off property or on privately owned property that is not physically or electronically fenced.
• Cats also follow the same mandates in as much as they should not be allowed to freely roam the Streets.
• You must maintain a mildew free house. If your house has mildew on it, please take care of it.
• • It is the property owners' responsibility to maintain their bulkheads and make necessary repairs.
Garbage cans are to be kept out of view from the roadways.
• Lawns must be mowed on a regular basis and gardens maintained.
• • • Broken down and unregistered cars are not allowed in driveways or parked on the street.

This is to help promote the aesthetic quality of the views within Blue Heron Bay. There are exceptions to these rules as some precedents have been set.
• Unauthorized tree removals (dead or alive) are not permitted. ACC approval must be obtained for removal of any tree. If requests to the ACC are not responded to within 30 days, the request is deemed approved.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to the Board Secretary (Greg Gow 281-705-6743 or email [email protected]). Greg is responsible for maintaining POA records and advising all other Board members of any questions that can't be easily addressed or requires a Board or POA vote.
