<p>The annual meeting of Country Place HOA members will be held on Tuesday, December 2, 2025 at 7:00 PM at the <a href="https://www.aacounty.org/departments/police-department/districts/eastern/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Eastern District Police Station</a>, 204 Pasadena Road. Please watch your mailbox for the official notice and proxy form. Country Place Homeowners should make every effort to attend. <strong>If you are unable to attend, please complete the proxy form and give the completed proxy to either a neighbor who will attend or to a board member prior to the meeting date and time.</strong></p>



<p>As a non-profit organization, by law, we must have a quorum to hold the meeting and vote on issues. The CPHOA Board of Director positions of President and Treasurer expire in 2025 and are up for election. All Country Place Homeowners are invited to serve on the Board of Directors. Please consider taking a chair, especially if yourself or your household have never held a board seat. If you&#8217;re interested in either position, be sure to attend or <a href="https://countryplacehoa.org/contact/">let someone know</a> that you are willing to volunteer.</p>



<p><strong>Board positions require very little time each month.</strong> <strong>Board members get a full discount on their annual dues during the years they volunteer.</strong></p>



<div style="height:50px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">$50 Discount on HOA Dues</h2>



<p>Country Place <a href="https://countryplacehoa.org/annual-dues-what-do-they-pay-for/">dues</a> for 2026 will remain at $200.00. Country Place Homeowners who attend the annual meeting WILL RECEIVE A $50 DISCOUNT on their 2026 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.</p>

<p><strong>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. </strong>Trash cans and recycling containers left in public view (ie, street, driveway, front porch, or in your front yard) detract from the appearance of our community.
