Association Covenants & Restrictions

Covenants and Restrictions are legally binding agreements that outline the rules and standards for property use within a homeowners’ association. These documents are designed to maintain the community’s aesthetic, protect property values, and ensure a harmonious living environment. They may cover various aspects, such as architectural guidelines, landscaping requirements, and restrictions on activities or modifications to properties.

Association Maps

Subdivision maps are detailed representations of our community’s layout, showcasing individual lots, roads, common areas, and essential infrastructure. These maps provide valuable information for residents, including property boundaries, access points, and the location of amenities such as parks and recreation facilities. Understanding the subdivision map can help homeowners navigate the community more effectively and make informed decisions regarding property use and potential modifications.

Landscaping Maintenance

Landscaping maintenance is essential for preserving the beauty and health of our community. The Nowland Estates Homeowners’ Association is committed to regular upkeep of common areas, including mowing, trimming, planting, and seasonal clean-up. This proactive approach not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of our neighborhood but also promotes a welcoming environment for all residents. We encourage homeowners to contribute by maintaining their own properties and reporting any concerns about common areas. Together, we can ensure that our community remains vibrant and well-maintained year-round!

Storm Drainage Facilities

Storm drainage is a critical component of our community’s infrastructure, designed to manage rainwater runoff and prevent flooding. Proper storm drainage systems help protect our homes, streets, and natural environments by directing water away from residential areas and into designated outlets. The Nowland Estates Homeowners’ Association is committed to maintaining these systems to ensure their effectiveness and longevity. Residents are encouraged to keep storm drains clear of debris and report any blockages or issues. By working together, we can help protect our community from water-related problems and maintain a safe and healthy environment for all.
