Important rules

Annual discount is reviewed each year
Association-published
Use the year's published assessment, not the sample encumbrance's face amount or last year's discount. The current budget reduces the base charge before GST is added.
Sources: 2026 operating budget; 2026 residential fee and annual discount
Collections changes the payment destination
Association-published
Once referred to McLeod Law, the HOA instructs owners to follow their collection letter instead of using the normal online payment option. Use the invoice/order number for ordinary online payments.
Source: Payment methods, January deadline and collections routing
Exterior and solar controls depend on the title
Association-published
Check the property's restrictive covenant and caveat before alterations. The FAQ does not provide blanket solar approval or one design standard that replaces the registered documents.
Source: Membership, governance, assets and property controls FAQ
Owner fence upkeep remains a separate obligation
Association-published
The FAQ assigns upkeep of boundary fences to owners and identifies SPF or cedar wood with Natural Redwood semi-transparent stain. Confirm the existing fence's registered specification before changing its material, height or finish.
Source: Membership, governance, assets and property controls FAQ
Old sample payment wording is not the current deadline
Association-published
The public sample uses April payment wording and allows a date change by notice. The current payment page specifies January 1. Obtain the registered version and notices for any dispute.
