to Questions
DOES THE ASSOCIATION HAVE AN
ANNUAL
FEE/ASSESSMENT?
Yes. Every owner is required to
pay a yearly assessment imposed by the
Association. These funds are used for the Common
Expenses of the Association. These expenses
are incurred in the administration, management,
maintenance, and operation
of Woodfield.
The current assessment is
$155.00 per-lot, per-year. The assessments are
due
yearly in advance on or before the first day of
August. A late charge of $20.00 is
imposed if the payments are not received by the
thirty-first (31st) day of August.
The Treasurer of the Association
will make every reasonable effort to provide you
with a statement at least 20 days in advance of
the assessment due date. However, failure to
receive a bill does not exempt you from paying
your assessments.
Failure to pay assessments may
result in a lien on the delinquent property and
legal action to collect the past due amounts.
While the Association prefers not to take
these actions, they are required under the terms
of the Declaration.

I BOUGHT MY PROPERTY IN
JANUARY, DO I HAVE TO PAY A
FULL YEAR’S ASSESSMENT FOR THE FIRST YEAR?
No. Your yearly assessment is
pro-rated starting on the first day of the month
following the closing date. Thus, if you closed
on your lot in January, you would
owe 6 months assessments (February-July), or
$77.50 at the current rate.

MEETINGS?
There will be at least one

the By-Laws or as established by the Board of
Directors. However, special meetings
of the Association may be called by the Board of
Directors of the Association or upon
the presentation of a petition signed by at
least 67% of the Owners. Notice of

I BELIEVE A VIOLATION OF THE
RULES/REGULATIONS
IS TAKING PLACE, WHAT DO I DO?
It is very likely that the
violation has been reported to the Board of
Directors already
and a letter has been written to the owner in an
effort to correct it. But, if you notice
any violation, please don't hesitate to contact
the Board of Directors in writing.

I'M INTERESTED IN REPAINTING
OR MAKING A MODIFICATION/ADDITION TO MY
PROPERTY, WHAT ARE
THE PROCEDURES?
Although
there is not a specific covenant/rule that
addresses repainting your
house/trim, it is advisable that the approval of
the Architectural Committee be
obtained if the identical current color is to be
changed. The reason for this is to
avoid any possible "annoyance to the
neighborhood" which might occur, if for
instance, someone painted a "rainbow"
on their house. An "annoyance to the
neighborhood" is covered by one of
the covenants/rules (14). All other
modifications/improvements undertaken on your
home/lot must be approved by the Association's
Architectural Committee.
