Helpful Information from Your HOA

FITNESS CENTER/RECREATION CENTER LOBBY

Anyone under the age of 18 is not allowed in the fitness center un- less accompanied by a parent or guardian. The recreation center lobby is not to be used as a gathering place for kids to socialize. The Association is asking for all homeowners who use these facil- ities to help with watching over these areas. If a child is under the age of 18 and is in the fitness center without a parent or guardian or appears to be simply loitering in the lobby, please politely ask them to leave. Thank you.

RECREATION CENTER RENTAL

The recreation center has a room available for parties, meeting, reunions, etc. A signed contract plus a $300 security deposit will hold your reservation. Homeowners must be current on their dues (or payment plans) and rental fees must be received prior to the party. The rental rate is $50 an hour with a two-hour minimum. The key for the clubhouse is to be signed out and returned to the guards in the guardhouse. Please READ THE CONTRACT CAREFULLY before signing - this is a binding legal document and the rules and regulations stipulated in the contract will be enforced. Call the onsite office for additional information.

Remember to bring your trash home with you after a party - the clubhouse trashcans are being filled to overflowing regularly. Fines will start being assessed if the rec center trashcans are filled up with party debris.

OUTDOOR HOME IMPROVEMENTS

Please remember that when planning to do any outdoor home improvements, you must first apply for approval from the Archi- tectural Control Committee. Forms are available via the website at www.canyongateatcincoranch.com/forms or by contacting the office. Please include as much information as possible, including survey, samples and schematic drawings.

ANIMAL / PET CONTROL

Please respect your neighbor’s yard and their personal space. re- member, that pets must be confined to a fenced backyard or within the house and must not be allowed to bark all night long or cause a nuisance to neighbors. They must be on a leash at all times when away from this contained environment. It is also the pet owner’s responsibility, when walking their pet within the subdivision, to keep ALL areas free of pet debris. Please remember that cats must also be confined. Animal control can be reached by calling 281-342- 1512 and will pick up strays and/or unconfined pets.

PARKS AND PLAYGROUNDS

All parks and playground areas in the community close at 9 PM.

HARRIS COUNTY TOLL TAGS

Please call the onsite office (281-492-6020) or email us to register your Harris County toll tag (mmckay@pmghouston.com). The following information is required: Name, Address, Vehicle Make & Model and Old and New EZ Tag Numbers. Please do not give tag information to the guards - they do not have access to the gate computer. PLEASE REMEMBER to have your old tag number available when you are registering a new tag, so we can remove it from the system.

The sticker-type EZ tags can be programmed into the system. How- ever, the signal is not as powerful as that of the battery-powered tags. Please approach the gate slowly and stay as close to the left median as possible (that is where the reader is located); the new tags can’t be read by the system until you are very close to the gate.

The Homeowners’ Association sells EZ tags that will open the res- ident gate at the Canyon Gate entrance. Residents may purchase these at the onsite office for $25. These EZ tags contain a battery that should last for approximately 3 years. The HOA offers a one- year warranty on these tags. If the battery goes bad and your EZ tag stops working within the first year, the tag will be replaced at no cost. If your EZ tag stops working after the one-year time limit, a new EZ tag will need to be purchased.
