FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
Why is Shadow Ridge South HOA a "mandatory" association?
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the town of Flower Mound began requiring builders to provide amenities such as masonry perimeter walls, entry ways, and some communal landscaping.
Builders met the town’s regulations maintaining the infrastructure with working sprinkler systems, etc. until they had completed the subdivision and moved on to their next project.
In many cases the builder/developer installed infrastructure crumbled or deteriorated because the builder would discontinue payment of services such as water to common areas once they moved on.
The town responded by mandating HOAs for subdivisions built after 1992. The HOA would accept the responsibility of maintaining, repairing and improving common areas within the neighborhood.
In this way, the cost of communal areas (landscaping, perimeter walls, etc.) would be distributed across all the neighbors, and the town would not be forced to place liens on the individual homes within the neighborhood to bring the subdivision back to compliance with town ordinances.
Your neighborhood was built in the mid 1990s and therefore has a mandatory HOA. Your dues are collected in January of the year they will be used to pay for: water, electricity, landscaping, perimeter fence repair, neighborhood activities, publications, etc.
How and when did I become a member of our HOA?
When you purchased your home, you automatically became a voting member of the HOA at closing.
Who should I call?
Q: The wood fence that protects my yard along the street side of my property (I have a corner lot) is in disrepair.
A: Aside from the brick wall fence along Spinks, any fence on a homeowner’s property is their own responsibility. In this case you are the sole owner of the fence and the financial burden is yours.
Q: The wood fence that separates my property from my adjacent neighbors is in need of repair/replacement.
A: Shared fences are the joint responsibility of the homeowners involved. Coordinate with your immediate neighbors to share the financial obligation and aesthetic decisions to ensure all parties are happy with the finished product.
