The HOA Enforcement & Fine Policy:
Upon notification or observance of a violation of the Article, the HOA or its representative will send out a notice of violation citing the actual violation and a reasonable time period in which to correct the violation.  Upon second notification or observation of the continued violation following the expiration of the time period allotted, a fee of $25 / day will be assessed until the violation is corrected. 
 
The Association does not want to fine homeowners.  Rather, it is a committee of neighbors that helps maintain property values and quality by enforcing a set of covenants, rules and guidelines that you agreed to through the purchase of your property.  In the event that you violate the covenant, you could be fined $25 / day for each violation until such time as you correct the violation(s).  Any further violation of the same nature in a 12 month period may result in the imposition of a fine, suspension of your right to vote, and suspension of your use of any common areas (clubhouse, pool, tennis court) until such time as you correct the violation(s) and are current in all fines/assessment.

Let’s work together for the good of our community.
