In the current housing market, our property values must compete with surrounding neighborhoods which are all well groomed and maintained. The appearance of each home and our common grounds is used to assess the value of our homes in relationship to other communities. It is your responsibility as a homeowner to maintain your property in accordance with the Association's covenants.
Compliance is critical to ensure property values of the community are maintained at an optimum level. (Please assist us in reporting violations to the covenants to Sentry Management.) Please make sure that your property and actions are in compliance. (There might be a better word to use than actions)
While the covenants provide a complete listing of the requirements that each homeowner must adhere to, the attached questionnaire is provided here to assist you in maintaining your home and property to the standards of our covenants.
(If your answer to any of these questions is YES, please correct the problems you identify.) You shouldn't be able to say yes to any of the following, if so it means some action required on your part
