Hello, Oak Creek Homeowners Association,

It’s that time of year again! 😊

Annual property inspections for 2024 will begin the week of April 15th, starting with the Deer Run Estates Land Bay.

Postcard reminders will be sent out to each community.

As a member of Oak Creek Club, your role is precious in maintaining the community’s overall aesthetics. Property ownership includes the responsibility for the continued maintenance of all structures and grounds that are part of the owner’s home.

Each year at this time, several architectural violations are reported to the HOA. Spring is the perfect time to take a proactive approach to avoid violations. Please be aware that outstanding and repeat violations may result in possible fines. Each home will be inspected in detail for architectural compliance.

For your information, below is a checklist of items to review.

Ensure that outdoor decor is seasonally appropriate.
Mow and fertilize the lawn.
Remove weeds from all lawns, flower beds, and driveway cracks.
Re-apply new mulch around trees and within garden beds.
Remove all bulk landscaping materials from view.
Trim trees, shrubs, and bushes. Remove fallen tree stakes and stakes around trees larger than 3 inches in diameter.
Replace dead shrubs, bushes, trees, and plants.
Remove and store all debris and equipment from the property (including the storage of lawn equipment).

Wash the home exterior to remove mold, rust, mildew, and dirt.
Paint and repair decorative and other fascia.
Paint/repair shutters or replace missing shutters- ensure shutters are the same color.
Paint the front door and home exterior.
Power wash oil and dirt stains from driveways and seal all cracks in driveways.

Clean and repair mailboxes (If a new mailbox is needed, please contact tandrews@oakcreekclub.com for more information).
Repair loose siding, gutters, and roof shingles.
Window coverings should be in good repair. All screens should be secured to windows, and torn or damaged blinds should be replaced.
Remove derelict vehicles (vehicles with flat tires and or expired tags/no tags).
Grills must be stored out of public view at ALL times, and grilling should occur in the rear yard only.
Store trash and recycling receptacles out of view after collection.
