Covenant Enforcement Policy
Ensuring that all Valley View residents enjoy a high quality of life
1. Courtesy Warning Letter (Optional)
At the sole option of the Board, the Association may send a Courtesy Warning Letter via email or mail. This Courtesy Warning Letter advises the property owner they may not be in compliance with the community covenant(s). There is no fine levied with this letter.
2. Violation Notice Letter
If a violation is not resolved in response to any Courtesy Warning Letter or if a Courtesy Warning Letter is not sent, the Board may send a Violation Notice Letter noting a possible fine will be levied if the violation is not cured by a stated deadline.
3. Subsequent Violation Notices for Continuing or Repeat Violations
If an owner has been sent a Violation Notice Letter for a particular violation and the same violation continues or a similar violation is committed within six months of the Violation Notice Letter, the POA may reinstate previously levied fines or levy additional fines either with or without notice to the owner. If the POA desires to send notice of additional fines, the POA may do so by means of a Subsequent Violation Notice.
