The annual meeting of Country Place HOA members will be held on Tuesday, December 5, 2023 at 7:00 PM at the Eastern District Police Station, 204 Pasadena Road. Please watch your mailbox for the official notice and proxy form. Country Place Homeowners should make every effort to attend. If you cannot make it, please consider giving your signed proxy to a neighbor who will attend.
As a non-profit organization, by law, we must have a quorum to hold the meeting and vote on issues. This year, we will be electing the positions of President and Treasurer. Please consider taking a chair, especially if yourself or your household have never held a board seat. If you’re interested in either position, be sure to attend or let someone know that you are willing to volunteer.
Board positions require very little time each month. Board members get a full discount on their annual dues during the years they volunteer.
Country Place dues for 2023 will remain at $150.00. Country Place Homeowners who attend the annual meeting WILL RECEIVE A $50 DISCOUNT on their 2023 dues (as long as a quorum is reached). You must attend the annual meeting in-person to obtain the discount. Limit of one discount per property address.
Please remove all Trash Cans and Recycling Bins from view the day they are emptied, either by placing behind a fence or inside your garage. Trash cans and recycling containers left in public view (ie, street, driveway, or in your front yard) detract from the appearance of our community. Article VII, Section 8 of our Covenants requires that all trash cans, storage containers, equipment, etc. MUST be obscured from view of adjacent lots and streets. Please help the community to look its best by storing your containers behind a fence or in your garage. Thank you!

Annual dues are an important and necessary part of living together in a desirable community. To maintain the appearance of our community (as well as property values), annual homeowner dues cover:
Effective January 2023, Country Place HOA dues are $200/year. Dues notices are mailed each January, and discounts have been given in the past for homeowners who attend the annual meeting when a quorum is present (subject to discretion of the board). Legal action will follow for homeowners who do not pay their dues. If you owe dues, please submit them asap or contact the HOA president via our Contact Form.
Some of the public sidewalks in our community have become obstructed by homeowner plantings that are well overgrown. If you have plantings adjacent to a sidewalk, the board asks that you trim them as needed to keep sidewalks clear for pedestrians.
The above list of pre-approved items was originally developed in March 1989 by the Country Place Board of Directors in conjunction with the Architectural Control Committee. It was updated in 1994 and again in July 2009. If you plan to make any of the modifications which appear on this list, you do not need to obtain prior approval to undertaking the project. However, when in doubt, play it safe and submit your proposed changes to the Architectural Review Committee.
(rev. 7/16/2009)
According to Country Place HOA Covenants and By-Laws which every owner signed and agreed to when you purchased your homes, all residents of Country Place are bound by law to submit all proposed changes to their homes and properties to the Architectural Review Committee, and must receive approval from the committee before changes are made. For select minor improvements, there is a “Pre-approved list” posted on our web site.
Note: Since our community P.O. box is only checked monthly, for faster response, please submit your plans directly to an Architectural Review committee member 30 days before you would like to begin your project.
