It appears that this is the hot topic at the moment. First, allow me to provide a brief history.
The Association was only turned over to the homeowners (we, us) 18 months ago. That is how long the Board of Directors (BoD) has actually consisted of homeowners although the community itself is well over 4 years old. Prior to the homeowners, it was the home builders who were responsible for the HOA.
Now that the homeowners have the Association, the Board of Directors is being more assertive in getting 100% compliance of the CC&R's and HOA dues.
Homeowners Dues:
We have just over 1600 homes in West Point. As of only a few months ago, as many as 33% of homeowners did not pay their dues on time. Obviously, this isn't fair to those who do pay their dues on time. Fortunately, we had much better compliance during the last quarter. I believe that number was down to 15%-20%. This number, though lower, is still too high in my opinion. The BoD will be looking at ways to get compliance in this area. This could include payment booklets for monthly payment, since most people pay bills monthly and not quarterly.
CC&R's:
Based on my own estimations from the violation history report, there are probably around 40% of homeowners that are violating some portion of the CC&R's. Be it parking, landscaping, basketball hoops, etc. Our Property Management company has been good about writing up many of these violations.
