Arbor Village Homeowners' Association

Your Association was formed by the developer when the plat was first recorded at the County. The developer of your community recorded a set of governing documents which formed your Association. Those governing documents are made up of the Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, and Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&R's).

The Articles of Incorporation were filed with the State in order to establish your Association as a Non Profit Corporation. A report is filed annually with the State to maintain that status.

The Bylaws provide the mechanism for how the Association should operate. It provides for a Board of Directors (6) who oversees the activities of the Association, and the membership who elect the Board at annual meetings.

The Board’s primary duty is to enforce the Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&R’s), and maintain community standards in order to protect and increase property values over time. The Board may establish committees to help with different activities such as Architectural Control, Landscape, Maintenance, Community Newsletters, and Social Events.

The people who serve on the Board and committees volunteer their time to make the community a better place for everyone. If you would like to know how you may become more involved with your Association, please contact one of the Board members or the Association manager.

Your Board of Directors meets every other month at a day and time set by the Board.

If you would like to attend a meeting to bring concerns, ideas, or requests to the Board, you are welcome to do so and will be given time during Homeowner Forum before the meeting is called to order.

Please contact the Association Manager to confirm the date and time of the next meeting.

There are several issues in your Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&R’s) that result in request for compliance such as:

Yard and Home Maintenance

Unsightly Conditions

Window mounted air conditioner units

Inoperable vehicles

Boat,RV Storage, Camper shells

Pet Requirements

Structural Improvements without submitting an ACC Application form

It is important to know that plans must be submitted to the ACC (Architectural Control Committee) for approval PRIOR to the construction of any exterior improvements to your property.

For example:

Fences, Arbors and Gazebos

Roofs

Tree removal

Decks and Patios

Storage Sheds (Both Wood and Vinyl)

Landscape Projects

Windows and Doors

Changing exterior paint colors - please contact the association manager if you are only refreshing existing colors so we don't interfere with your work.

The above is not a complete list, but for anything impacting the exterior of the home, an ACC Application form is required to be submitted and approved prior to starting the work.

Planning to make changes to your home or yard? For changes to your home or yard visible from the street, such as painting, landscaping changes, fence installation, or roof replacement, you'll need to fill out an Architectural Control Committee (ACC) Application form and email or drop it off at the Windermere office in Kent.
