Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I'm a renter in the neighborhood. Can I still belong to
the Civic Association and participate as a voting member?
A: YES. Unlike the previous mandatory Association, our
new Civic Association accepts all of the neighbors into the association
whether the actual homeowner or not. We'd encourage you to fill out the
membership application online or print one out and return it to our P.O.
Box.
Q: Now that the "mandatory" homeowers
association has been dissolved, does that mean that the Warranty Deed
Restrictions no longer apply?
A: NO. The deed restrictions still apply to homeowners
because they're in
your property deed. As also provided for in the property deeds,
individuals may take legal action against neighbors to enforce
compliance. The voluntary Civic Association will not be involved in
enforcement. Most complaints though are actually violations of Columbus
City Code and will be enforced by the City if you call them. If you have
an issue with a neighbor we'd encourage you to first talk to them about
it to see if a reasonable resolution exists.
Q: Am I obligated to pay annual dues to the
Civic Association as was required with the previous Homeowners
Association?
A: NO. Membership is entirely voluntary. You can fill
out the membership application online or submit one to our PO Box. In
lieu of dues you can sign up for our community service list on the
membership site.
Q: What happend to the previous Homeowners Association and
the PSAM (OMNI) Management Group?
A: The PSAM management group was only involved in our community for a
few years. An overwhelming supermajority of the neighbors voted together
to dismiss them, and to dissolve the existing homeowners association.
Now a community driven civic association is in place - needing your
help.
