Frequently Asked Questions

The intention of any HOA is to preserve the economic values of the homes through architectural controls and deed restrictions.  It is also to provide for the maintenance, improvement, preservation, and administration of any common areas.   A Board of Directors typically governs each HOA and operates under the legal documents (CCRs, Bylaws, and Rules/Regulations) that established the HOA.

• Our HOA was created in 2001 by the original developers who envisioned what the Kabalo Heights Community would look like.
• The Board of Directors  is made up of property owners from this community who are elected at the annual HOA meeting.
• Our HOA is responsible for the maintenance and repair of the retention ponds located/owned by Lot 20 per the CCRs.
• The Board of Directors also serve as the ACC (Architectural  Control Committee) with the Vice President serving as the ACC Liaison.
• ACC requests can be made by through this website. You may also  contact the Vice President who will answer your questions and direct you to the proper forms/procedures.
• Landscaping does not require ACC approval; however, any outdoor structures including the building of fences, sheds, etc. does  require ACC approval.
• At this time, our Board does not schedule drive by property inspections but it does keep an eye out for deed restriction violations and addresses them as they are brought to the Board's attention.
• All formal complaints submitted to our Board are investigated; any deed restriction violations result in a violation letter sent to the property owner outlining the steps to remedy the violation with an appropriate time-frame, as well as the consequences of no follow through as outlined in the governing documents.
• The Kabalo Heights Board of Directors' goal is to maintain balance and harmony in the neighborhood while honoring the duties and responsibilities of enforcement  outlined in the legal documents for our community's  HOA.

The Board of Directors has a responsibility and a duty to enforce the deed restrictions (CCRs). The governing legal documents grant enforcement remedies to the HOA's  Board of Directors which adopts an enforcement policy containing specific courses of action.  The Board has the responsibility to investigate all complaints and/or violations and take appropriate action which will include notifying the resident of the violation and ask for their cooperation in correcting the problem.  If the violation is not corrected within the time specified (also known as the Cure Period) the association may  levy a fine,  hire someone to correct the violation and charge the property owner with the costs to cure,  or in extreme cases the Board of Directors has the authority to hire an attorney and file suit against the property owner.

The major responsibility of any HOA is to protect and preserve the property value owned by the members. The association is empowered to oversee the duties and obligations  as outlined in the covenants, conditions, restrictions and easements (CCRs) concerning the property; and  to fix,  levy,  collect payment, and take care of all maintenance and repairs to any common facilities and areas  owned by the HOA.

Deed restrictions are important rules governing your responsibilities as a member of the HOA. They are also set up to protect your rights as a property owner. Deed restrictions make sharing of property and living in harmony convenient and easy for all involved. The architectural controls provided in the deed restrictions are set up not to stifle your creativity or infringe on your lifestyle, but rather to assure that the integrity of the original community design is preserved.  At the closing of your property, the Title Company should have furnished a copy of the HOA's  legal documents.  If you did not receive a copy please contact your HOA Board of Directors.

Yes!  You may do whatever you want to the interior of your home as long as those changes do not alter the exterior or roof line.  The Architectural Control Committee must approve any alterations, additions,  and changes to the exterior of your home. This approval assures the beauty of not only your home, but also a consistency with community surroundings.  This may include but is not limited to a remodel or addition, painting of the exterior, adding a deck or sun room, etc.  If you are unsure about any improvements you are planning to make to your property,  reach out to the ACC for clarification.
