Welcome

 
 

The simple answer is to protect your investment in your home. Realtors tell us that properties in Grove Hill are among the highest valued and quickest to sell of any in the greater Auburn area. The Covenants were designed to assure the continued beauty of our neighborhood thus having a positive impact on the value of your property and the quality of life here in Grove Hill.

How is a covenant violation determined? Alleged violations are brought to the attention of the Board, usually by a neighbor. Some of them are clearly prohibited in the covenants. Others can be more judgmental in nature. What may appear to be tasteful to one may be tacky to his or her neighbor. This is one of the reasons the Board encourages “yard art” and specialty plants be limited to backyards. The Board discusses each violation and decides what course of action should be taken. How are the covenants enforced? If the Board decides to take action a methodical approach is used with each case. First, we send a letter notifying the neighbor of the alleged violation. There is a 14 day response period for the neighbor to reply to us

 

Welcome to the Grove Hill Gazette Online. The newsletter will navigate much like a website, with the navigational links at the top and bottom of all pages. Furthermore, the Gazette is tied directly to our neighborhood website and can be accessed from the Gazette page, where all previous issues can be viewed, as well. If you have a story that you think would be interesting to share with your neighbors please send it to gazette@grovehillhoa.com.

Why Do We Have Covenants?

1) with a phone call or meeting with the Board for clarification and discussion or,

2) a letter outlining the manner in which the issue has been handled.

If there is no response after 14 days a reminder is sent, just in case the first letter was lost or forgotten. If there is still no response after another 14 day period, a certified letter will be sent notifying the neighbor that daily fines or other enforcement action will begin. If the problem is not corrected and fines or other charges accumulate, a lien or liens may be placed on the property.

In summary, the Board wants to maintain the integrity of the GHHA Covenants so that each of us can enjoy our property and also be a good neighbor. Each of us agreed to the boundaries set forth by these covenants when we accepted the property deed at closing whether the attorney told you about this or not. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact Barbara Arington, GHHA Association Manager or come to one of the monthly Board meetings, which are usually held on the second Tuesday of each month at 7:00 PM in the GHHA clubhouse.
