BEFORE YOU CHOOSE A PROPERTY

Your neighborhood questions, answered.

Document summaries describe the sources reviewed. Confirm current amendments, fees and the rules for your exact lot.

Separate supplied records cover Phase IV (Book 203, pp. 391–400), Phase VII (Book 185, pp. 388–399), Phase IX (Miscellaneous Book 300, pp. 795–796) and Phases X-A/X-B (Miscellaneous Book 301, pp. 789–791). The X-A/X-B packet appends Phase VIII (Miscellaneous Book 261, pp. 721–729). These are distinct phase records, not one uniform community ruleset.

Is there an HOA, and what does it cost?
Confirm current terms

The fully read Phase IV and appended Phase VIII declarations expressly establish owner membership and annual/special assessments. They describe an association certificate reporting a lot's assessment-payment status. Request the current dues, special assessments and certificate for the offered phase and anchor/satellite combination; historical initial amounts are not current charges.

What other rules should I know?
Document summary

Phase X-B satellite lots are nonresidential and tied to a separate anchor lot, with conditional transfer and association approval. Phase IX separately incorporates Phase VIII; exact phase and parcel pairing matter.

All supplied recorded phase copies were read: Phase IV (10 pages), VII (12), IX (2), and the 14-page X-A/X-B packet that appends IX and VIII. The separate ten-page Phase I historical website print was also fully read; it still lacks a verified recorded citation and is not used as current recorded rules here. Exact phase, later amendments, satellite/anchor pairing and today's association charges remain unverified. Research checked Oct 31, 2026.
