River Place

FYI.

The OTHER HOA, Park West Garden Homes, meets tonight at 7 pm at Kiker.

This HOA has failed to communicate anything to the members for the second year in row.

It's another Developer dominated HOA that collects a lot of money and does nothing useful with it, except for the required landscaping to the front yards.

All of last years requests were ignored and communication is simply no exsitent. Even the Goodwin Management company that they paid to field calls and complaints has stopped responding. I only found out last week that Goodwin changed their phone number and email address, which they never announced to any of the neighborhood.

How convenient !!!


Unlike the rest of Circle C, Park West has to maintain their own roads and parks, because it's gated.

Please clarify

Are there two seperate HOA's in Circle C? Who is ''the developer'' that controls this HOA you refer to in your post?

Yes, we belong to both HOAs

Park West Garden Homes has an HOA which serves the homes within our gated community (roughly 160 lots - about 120 of which are built out). I haven't counted lately, but it's something like that.

Anyway, the PW HOA fee is $1200 a year (or $100 a month). Approimately $65/mo of that fee goes to the Landscaping in our area, including the maitenance of your front lawn.

Then you also are a member of the Circle C Ranch HOA (CCHOA), which collects $0.25 per $100 of assesseed value of your home, for similar services - community landscaping (roughly 60% of the budget and the pool which is costing use around 20% of the budget). The CCHOA assessments currently are ''capped'', but CCHOA appears to be removing that cap. So, if you house is assessed at $250,000, your annual CCHOA fee could be 2500 x .25 or $625/year.

With CCHOA, that assessed value also applies to your votes in the assocation - 1 vote per $100 of value, or 2500 votes for $250,000 house.


So, the short answer is YES, Park West home owners belong to 2 different HOA's and pay dues to both. CCHOA typically collects their dues twice a year. Park West does it one a month.

Get on-line banking and set up an automatic payment plan, least you get hit with a late fee. Paying by check in the mail is not wise for either HOA - checks and letters do get lost and mishandled.

thank you for the facts

thank you,
who is the devleoper that you refer to i your original post, that controls the PW HOA?
