Financial Documents

  • The HOA charges you $75 to supply any financing documentation if it requires a trustee's confirmation or signature. This typically includes a 6D certificate and may include other documents required by a lender. You will be reimbursed as part of your closing.

  • We complete the forms as quickly as we can; however, we do not recognize any obligation to meet deadlines imposed by any buyer, financial institution, or other interested party.

  • We can not issue a 6D until all HOA and other fees assessed to your unit are paid in full.

HOA Fees

  • You must pay your HOA fee on or before the 1st of every month. You may prepay.

  • Fees are considered late after the 15th of the month. If that happens, we will assess a late charge of 5% of your HOA fee.

Trash and Recycling

  • Trash and recycling should be on the curb by 9 AM on the scheduled pickup day. (Our vendor suggests by 7 AM, though they typically arrive after noon.) The HOA is not responsible if your bins are not available for pickup.

  • All trash and recyclables must be in the bin, and the lid must be completely closed. Do not place excess materials outside the bins. You may put excess material in any of your neighbors bins that are on the street. If we are charged extra for your trash, we will assess your unit for that charge.

  • At all other times, trash bins must be stored in your garage or behind your unit.

  • Waste Management 

    • (508) 549-8920

  • CHV is a commercial account.

  • Call them immediately if your trash is not picked up when it was at the curb.

  • If you want to dispose of any special items, make separate arrangements with Waste Management for pickup and payment. And, email us to let us know at Trustees@ClarksHillHOA.com.

Trash

Landscaping and Snow Removal

Who?

Green Landscape Lawn Service

When?

SNOW

We call the contractor to plow the driveways and clear the walks after it snows, provided there is enough snow to warrant it.

​​

LAWNS and LANDSCAPING

The grass is mowed weekly in season. Leaves and debris are cleaned up once in the fall and once in
the spring.

​​

IRRIGATION SPRINKLERS

The trustees schedule these to run as needed. We try to maintain a balance between keeping our plants healthy while keeping water usage and water bills low.

Rules

SNOW

  • You should purchase your own road salt to use between storm cleanings.

  • Salt is also available at our mailboxes. Please take a moment to spread some salt there when it is icy. 

  • You should clear the snow from your back deck or patio, especially against the house and around the door. This protects the foundation and helps prevents leaks.

​​

PLANTS and TREES

You need approval from the trustees before you plant anything, even if you are paying for it yourself. Start by sending us a written proposal of what you want to do, including a diagram.

Landscaping and Snow Removal

Interior Work

Who?

  • You can hire your own contractor for interior work, but they must meet the qualifications.

  • The HOA has an agreement with a local contractor who can perform the work or identify qualified vendors. Send us an email for more information.

Qualifications

  • To protect all of us from legal consequences and before any work begins, the HOA Trust and Deed require that all contractors who work on our units must provide current and valid certificates for: 

    • Workmens’ Compensation and

    • General Liability Insurance.

  • Please copy the trustees and contact us if you have questions at Trustees@ClarksHillHOA.com

Unit Exteriors and Community Grounds

Common Areas

All the outdoor area directly outside all units is the common property of the HOA. This means it is owned by all of us. The common areas are there for you to enjoy. However, if you damage the grass, plants, trees, or structure of those areas, even the ones right next to your unit, you are responsible for the cost to repair it.

Rules for
Common Areas

  • Before you use community spaces for large events, you must:

    • submit a written request to the HOA for approval and

    • tell your neighbors about your plans.

  • You must clean up after any gathering.

​

Think carefully about placing anything on the ground that might kill the grass or cause other damage, such as tents, inflatables, pools, etc. If you do, remove them as quickly as possible after you are through.

Unit Exteriors

The exterior of each unit is the property and responsibility of the HOA.

  • You cannot add, remove, or change anything on the exterior of your unit without the approval of the trustees.

  • Let us know if there is an exterior repair that needs to be addressed by emailing Trustees@ClarksHillHOA.com

Rules for
Unit Exteriors

Exterior changes that require approval include (but are not limited to):​

  • video cameras

  • shrubbery and flowers

  • seasonal decorations/flags/lights

Submit a written request to the HOA for approval before you install anything on the outside of your unit.

Seasonal Decorations

​​​​

  • You may decorate your front or back porch with items that are tasteful, simple, and inoffensive to your neighbors. 

  • Otherwise, you may not install permanent decorations of any kind outside your unit without HOA approval.

  • Seasonal decorations are allowed, as long as:

    • They do not offend or disturb anyone in our community.

    • They are removed promptly after the holiday or season has ended.

Other Information

Please refer to Rules and Regulations for this and more.

Dogs

  • ​Dogs must be kept on a leash at all times.

  • You must clean up after your pet in all
    common areas.

  • Dogs should not disturb the peace. Please take whatever means necessary to keep your dog from sustained barking outside, especially between 10 PM and 7 AM.

Fire Sprinkler Inspection

Once per year, we hire an outside company to test our fire suppression (sprinkler) systems. This is required for our master insurance policy as well as our safety. You are responsible for the cost. We plan all unit inspections for a single day which lowers the cost considerably. When scheduled separately, it could double your cost.

​

We will notify you well in advance of the date. Please make every effort to allow the inspectors access to your unit on inspection day.

​

Any infractions or need for repair is your responsibility; it must be completed and certified for our insurance ASAP. 

Rental Rules

  • Notify the HOA if you are planning to rent
    your unit.

  • Provide the renter contact information to the HOA as soon as possible.

  • You are responsible for making sure your renters know and abide by the Condo By-Laws. This is in the Master Deed and Trust. You can download this document on the Files page.

  • Short-term rentals of less than 12 months are
    not permitted.

 

 

Parking

 

  • Parking is never allowed on Clarks Hill Lane. "Parking" means having any wheels on our road. (Two wheels on the road and two wheels on the sidewalk is a violation.)

  • This rule exists for everyone's safety. Our road is not wide enough for emergency vehicles to pass if another vehicle is parked on the road.

  • This rule applies to you, your guests, your service providers, or anyone who is visiting our community on your behalf.

  • Visitors should use your driveway to park, or the road at the beginning of our entry, or they can use the parking lot behind our development.

  • The HOA reserves the right to tow, at the unit owner's expense, any vehicle found parking on Clarks Hill Lane.
