Governance

All owners of property within Evergreen Homes Village are members of the Evergreen Homes Village Homeowners Association. The association is a non-profit corporation.

In addition to state law, the association is controlled by its own Covenants, & Restrictions (CC&Rs). These consist of the Articles of Incorporation, Declaration of Covenants, Protective Covenants, Bylaws and Rules and Regulations.

The association is governed by a nine member board of directors. Board responsibilities include establishing policies consistent with the CC&Rs, setting the budget for the association. An property manager is hired by the board to administer the day to day operations of the Association on behalf of the board of directors.

Members of the association have certain rights, such as the right to use common property, vote in association elections, attend board meetings, and inspect certain records of the association.

Members also have certain obligations. They must pay assessments and comply with restrictions set forth in the CC&Rs and with polices established by the board. The association has the right to enforce its regulations by imposing fines on members, suspending their access to common property, and filing liens on property for nonpayment of assessments or fines.

It is important that all members of the association be familiar with its CC&Rs and policies. Violations can be very costly. For example, all exterior modifications to a home including painting require approval of the architecture committee. If a property owner makes modifications without approval, he might be fined and required to alter those modifications at his expense.

One can avoid such an unfortunate situation by being familiar with the rules, most of which are available under Compliance on this website. Questions should be directed to the property manager
