FAQ

A homeowner’s association or HOA is a non-profit corporation registered with the State and managed by a duly elected Board of Directors. Its purpose is to maintain all common areas and to govern the community association in accordance with the provision of the legal documents: CC&R’s, Bylaws, and Articles of Incorporation. The governing legal documents (Indentures) for the association may be viewed online within the Documents page of this site. The corporation is financially supported by all members of the homeowner’s association (HOA). Membership in the homeowner’s association (HOA) is both automatic and mandatory.

An assessment is the amount that is periodically due from each homeowner to cover the operating expenses of the common areas, hazard insurance, and to provide reserve funds for future improvements. All homeowners are expected to pay this assessment.

An association management company is contracted by the Board of Directors to provide such services as: Collection of assessments, supervision of subcontractors, obtaining bids for subcontracted services, providing financial statements and collection reports, as well as a general clearing house for problem solving, communications with homeowners and the Board of Directors and to serve in an advisory capacity. Omni Management reports directly to the Board and all decisions are made by a majority vote of the Board of Directors. Omni Management may be reached online through their Helpdesk by clicking here or by phone by dialing 636-294-1418.

The Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&R’s) are the governing legal documents that set up the guidelines for the operation of the planned community association as a non-profit corporation. The are sometimes also referred to as Indentures. The CC&R’s were recorded by the County recorder’s office of the County in which the property is located and are included in the title to your property. Failure to abide by the CC&R’s may result in a fine to a homeowner by the Association. The governing legal documents for the association may be viewed online within the Documents page of this site.

The Homeowners Association (HOA) again is a corporation and therefore a governing body that is required to oversee its business. The Board of Directors is elected by the homeowners, or as otherwise specified in the bylaws. The limitation and restrictions of the powers of the Board of Directors is outlined in the Association’s Governing Documents found within the Documents page of this site.

We suggest that in circumstances that require emergency assistance that homeowners use their right to be safe and call the proper authorities in extreme cases, for instance, if a dog is running loose in a community animal control needs to be contacted or if you notice a suspicious vehicle in the community the police department needs to be contacted.

If residents cannot resolve a situation between themselves, then turn to your Association. Should you have a situation that does not appear to be resolved through neighborly means, please contact Omni Management. If the situation is deemed in violation of the Association’s Policies and Guidelines, the Board of Directors will institute appropriate enforcement action. Your continued assistance may be required. Please note that if the situation does not violate any of the Associations Policies or Indentures, the Association will be unable to take any action against the accused. In this instance, we recommend your contact the police department for further assistance.

There are covenants and restrictions that were given to homeowners at closing that they can use for reference to see what the community will allow. If you do not have these documents you can contact the title company or closing representatives for a copy. If Omni Management has to make copies of the Indentures for a homeowner there is a $25.00 fee for this service. Every homeowner is entitled to a copy of these documents. For your convenience, you may also view, download, or print a copy of the Indentures within the Documents page of this site.
