What are the Covenants?

 

Declaration of Covenants of Creekside Village is the legal document that lays out the guidelines for our planned community. The Covenants are recorded in the county records in the county where the property is located and are legally binding.

 

This means that when you purchase a lot or a home in our community, you automatically become a member of the HOA. Basically, the Covenants are the rules of our neighborhood. They govern what you can, cannot, or must do with respect to your home. This is why it is important for homeowners or their designated representative to attend the HOA meetings when votes are being held concerning the Covenants.

 

Every homeowner should have received a copy of the Covenants when they closed on their home. Homeowners should provide their tenants with a copy as well. If you did not receive a copy, you can download a copy under the scanned covenant files tab.
