I have fines I never paid from 2018 or earlier & I want to contest them - what do I do?


To contest any fines received from the HOA, you MUST file your grievance within 60 days of receiving the fine either by email, snail mail or in person at our monthly HOA meeting. We CANNOT accurately review fines given out by former OPN HOA boards. After receiving your grievance, we will review our records and render our decision. Please be aware that any unpaid fines result in a lien against your property until it is settled in full.

Why am I being fined for garbage cans? What "can" I do about it?

​

If you received a fine for garbage/recycling can violations, it's because you had your cans sitting either in front, back or on the side of your house on at least 2 separate occasions which were spaced at least 3 weeks apart. To comply with OPN HOA regulations, you must keep them inside, OR get a tiny "receptacle" shed that fits up against your house OR build a fenced in "pen" for them. We WILL be cracking down on this, so please find a solution that works for you & the HOA.

What do I need to do to add a deck/fence/solar panels?


If you wish to add a fence or deck/patio,  solar panels, or any changes to the exterior of your home (color, style structure) you will need to complete an Architectural Review Form

We strive to keep the yearly dues to as little as possible and still attend to the neighborhood's obligations.
