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.

The 2004 Misty Shores covenants are recorded at Cullman Miscellaneous Book 219, pages 647–652. The complete companion bylaws identify the subdivision map at Map Book 2004, page 9; their own recording citation has not been verified. Exact lot/phase applicability and later documents still need confirmation.

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

Yes—the reviewed covenants and bylaws establish an owner association and assessments. The bylaws describe annual dues, special assessments and a transfer-related charge, but their historical amounts are adjustable and are not today's verified charges. Request the current dues, budget, special-assessment notices and lot account statement.
