Covenants

The Board adopted a new enforcement policy on April 20, 2026 to create a clear, fair, and consistent process for handling covenant violations, something the prior Developer/Builder-controlled Board did not put in place. All violations start with a warning letter and a 15-day opportunity to correct the issue or request a hearing. If the issue is not resolved, a $75 fine is issued, followed by additional $150 fines every 15 days for ongoing or repeat violations. This approach provides proper notice and due process while allowing the Board to achieve compliance.
A common question is why now, especially for items like a front yard statue, holiday lights left up year-round, basketball hoops not put away, trash cans left out or a birdbath that may have been in place for years. In the past, enforcement was limited and inconsistent, with no ability to move beyond warning letters, so some violations were never formally addressed. Over 300 warning letters have been issued since 2022, often to the same homeowners, without lasting compliance and at a significant cost to all homeowners which is anything but fair.
Covenant enforcement is a legal obligation. As fiduciaries, the Board must enforce the covenants consistently and fairly to protect property values and maintain community standards. We all chose to live in a covenant-controlled community and acknowledged those requirements at closing.
The Board selected Smartwebs to assist with covenant enforcement because it provides a consistent, transparent, and professional process for managing community standards. Using a dedicated platform helps ensure that all residents are treated fairly and that violations are documented objectively with clear communication, photographs, timelines, and tracking. Smartwebs also improves efficiency for volunteers and management by centralizing records, reducing administrative burden, and helping the Board respond more promptly and accurately to concerns. The goal is not to increase enforcement, but to create a more organized and impartial system that protects property values, maintains the appearance of the community, and ensures the governing documents are applied consistently to everyone (one of the Board's goals for 2026).
