FAQ

Where can I find deed restrictions for my property?

You should receive a copy from your title company upon closing or from the previous owner.  If not, you can view it here.  We have also included this document and many others under “Association/Official Documents.”

Who is responsible for landscaping and snow removal?

The homeowners association is responsible for all landscaping at the entrances and common areas (over 19 acres) plus all the pond maintenance (we have 4 ponds).  The Orange Township street department is responsible for all snow removal or street repairs. 

What is my annual dues money spent on? 

Your annual dues go for things like Landscaping, Mowing and Weeding of all common areas, Pond maintenance, Water and Electricity on common grounds, Liability insurance, Taxes on the Common Property, Fencing repair, Light replacement, etc.  For a complete list see the budget spreadsheet under “Association/Official Documents.”

I want to add a fence, deck or pool, what do I have to do?

Go to our “Association/Official Documents“ page where you can download an application for improvement.  This will go to our committee who will determine if it matches our deed restrictions and approve or disprove the application.  You must also contact Orange Township and/or Delaware County for any work permits.  Most decks and fencing require a permit, while most small patios do not.  Pools require approval from the township and county for safety issues.  For more information, go to their respective web sites.
