Stuff You Should Know
HOA Dues
Dues are $500 and are due by March 1 every year. This money maintains our pool and neighborhood entrance and helps fund social activities throughout the year. If you have any issues, please contact the HOA Board and we will work with you. The HOA board is strictly volunteer.
Restrictions Highlights
-
Any property changes visible from outside need to be submitted via the Architectural Request form before any work begins. This includes in-ground pools.
-
Homes should be earth tone colors, but again, submit your plans before you paint. In general, browns, yellows, greys, greens, and whites are acceptable.
-
Fences are limited to 5' tall, cannot extend beyond the back of the house and may not be chain link style (you’ll see all types of fences, so it’s not too restrictive).
-
RVs, boats, and trailers may not be parked permanently in the driveways.
-
No large antennae such as ham radio towers are permitted. Small T.V. satellite dishes are allowed.
-
You are supposed to keep at least 1 shade tree in your front yard, two if you have a corner lot.
-
You are responsible for the trees along the sidewalk of your property. We have a lot of neighbors that regularly take walks, so please keep them trimmed to provide adequate clearance. The City of Olathe code requires 10' above the sidewalk and 13 '6" above the road.
-
In general, be considerate of your neighbors. Keep your fences and property maintained and adhere to all Olathe city codes.
