What is the purpose of the HOA Association Fee, how much is it, and when is it collected? What if I am delinquent in paying the Assessment Fee?
The PK HOA Assessment Fee is collected annually, usually on or before April 1st of each calendar year. The Assessment Fee is collected from each HOA member in order to maintain a reserve, used to defray costs associated with the maintenance, repair and upkeep of the common areas within the subdivision. This may include landscaping costs of the shared green spaces, lighting and irrigation costs. The reserve may also be allocated for capital projects to renew or modernize the PK HOA properties, including the replacement of fencing, signage and landscaping.
Finally, the reserve is allocated to service fees necessary to operate the HOA, (e.g. accounting fees, legal fees). The PK HOA Treasurer produces an annual Budget, outlining the fund allocation and is approved by the HOA Board. The approved Budget, along with the previous year spend is distributed to the HOA members in February of each calendar year. In cases where an HOA member becomes delinquent in paying the Assessment Fee, a late fee will be levied that may accrue over time, until payment in full is received.
The Board may elect to pursue Legal recourse in collecting the delinquent Fee, at which point the HOA member will be responsible to pay additional collection costs, including Legal Fees. In cases where the HOA member is severely delinquent, the Board may impose a lien on the HOA member’s property.
How do I know if I am in violation of PK HOA by-laws and covenants? How do I report violations that I observe?

Certain improvements, such as installation of fences and detached structures, replacement of driveways or building facade need to adhere to the standards outlined in the PK HOA Covenants. It would be prudent to notify the HOA Board prior to the commencement of such improvements to ensure adherence to the HOA covenants. If an HOA member is found to be in violation of the PK HOA By-Laws and Covenants, the member will be notified and will be responsible for all costs associated with the resolution or reversal of said violation.

This includes no parking on the driveway where vehicles block sidewalk traffic, vehicles parked in the wrong direction and vehicles blocking access to driveways, mailboxes and fire hydrants.
