Alert | | That would be an awesome idea but there isn't any room. You have to have a certain amount of area for water retention. That's why the builders combine parks with retention areas. Kills two birds with one stone so to speak. | |

Alert | lets start off with this. dont count on the HOA for nothing!! I talked to them the other day about something. the reply was we dont have enough money. HOA is now putting their problems on to the city of maricopa and they dont want to do anything because the HOA is getting paid by us. So I sat thinking about this we should just do a patition and throw the HOA out. why pay for nothing.

Alert | | There are two homes on my street that since I have lived here over 1yr have never taken care of their front yard weeds. So you can imagine what it looks like. I called DC hoa they said they have no money to have someone take care of this issue. For me to call the city and ask them for money. The city said they were probably investment homes and they would check into them and send a notice. Does this make sense?? Why are they not charging these people and then take that money to have someone clean the front yard. | | | |

I am the first to admit my spelling is not good. I think everyone understood what I was meaning. Thanks for pointing it out I hope it made you feel good.

Alert | I fully understand exactly what your talking about and which houses your are referring to. Yes the HOA has been in contact with the city so that they can be formally fined as a hazard. I guarantee you the homeowners in question have been fined over and over again and are in the legal process of the fine policy.
The cost to utilize the "self help" clause of the governing documents would cost over $200 per house...this is because of liability issues. You are correct about not having extra money because the homeowners are not paying their dues.
You can not make a person pull their weeds or pay their dues if they don't want to. People will only do what they want when they want. The only recourse that the HOA has is to fine and lien when and where necessary.
I encourage you to attend your HOA board meeting. | |

Alert | How can people not pay their dues?
You cant make people pull their weeds but if they were fined they might be more prone to doing it. If they were fined over and over again those fines should go to contract someone to clean their yards. | |

Alert | Amazing but there are people who don't pay their dues but they obtain a lien on their house when their account gets to a specific dollar amount. All costs are also passed onto the homeowners.
They can and do receive fines over and over again but don't always pay them. They also receive a lien on their house for those also.
So the HOA funds would have to pay to clean the yards up before the monies are collected. Right now there are way to many people not paying. | |
