I agree with you completely. The Board loves using home value for assessment and for other purposes because more complexity of the figure is, more easy to cheat.

For example: If there are 3,000 homeowners in Circle C and each home pays $350 Association fee, the total amount would be $1,050,000. We all can get the right answer. However, if the fee is based on the home value, how could we get an accurate figure?

White Collar Criminals are very clever and tricky. That's why Gary Bradley could hide 30 million dollars in the trust fund and living a good life while those petty thieves are living behind the bars!

Assessments

Okay, explain your reason for thinking that assessments should be based on VALUE of each property and how you justify that. Once again I want to mention that assessments have NOTHING to do with each one of our homes values. Values are about our personal properties and how much money I have chosen to ?‘sink?’ into my house pit. My neighbor next door just built a pool so now their house is worth more. RIGHT? So why should they be assessed more just because they wanted a pool and could afford it? Assessments are about the common area assessments and the extra $ to do whatever improvements etc. are needed around a development. A lot of HOA use assessments rather then raise their HOA dues. Thinking that it is better for resale to keep due?’s low vs. raising them. Regarding your one vote per house, this is a no brainier. BTW, just curious, have you ever been on a board?

Also, don't you think that having conversations like this is so much healthier then the back stabbing ones we keep hearing? These kind of conversation create movement, the others are just a mental drag to hear!

Controlled by Declarations


I agree I love this thread! Let's continue to communicate and improve our neighborhood.

First, let me say I am not speaking for the BOD or any committee of the CCHOA. These are my unofficial statements.

The assessments are controlled by the Declarations (Article III).

The number of votes is also controlled by the Declarations (Article II, Section 2)

The Declarations can only be changed by 75% of the total eligible votes of the membership (Article VIII, Section 2). From what I keep hearing it is time to change the Declarations. Let's pull together as a community and inform each other of these rules. Volunteer to start, work on, or assist a committee to change the Declarations. That is the easy part. The hardest part will be to actually get 75% of our neighbors to vote. Any suggestions?

assessments

GOOD POINT Hope others unite to communicate to the masses. If you look at the common area not areas of circle c north you will see we have and never will have anything on our side of the tracks. Our common area is the walk to the mail boxes past over grown hideous high maintenance bushes. I shake my head in disbelief every time I read this web site that our current BOD grown men can?’t listen and make decisions for the good of the HOA that they profess to represent for so long. Shame on them!
