Board members. Hopefully, a few homeowners. How about your management company? If not, call them and inquire, you’re paying for it. Management should be attending at least the annual meeting. Once a year, a homeowner should get to meet the community manager. For one, you can get to know them and understand their methods of operation. Can a community manager really know what is happening in the community if they don’t have interaction with the homeowners? Get to know your community manager.
Landscaping, landscaping, landscaping. I can’t say it any other way. The majority of your HOA dues go directly to landscaping and landscaping maintenance, including water. If your Board is contracting with landscapers, one important question to ask is, “What kind of water conservation plan do you follow?”. For example, a sprinkler is shooting into the street, but not broken. More than likely your landscaping company will not notice this issue. Whose job is it to notify them to fix it? Do you even know who they are? Wouldn’t it be nice to just shoot an e-mail to your HOA management company?
Welcome all! If you have any Home Owners Association questions, ask away.
