Westgate December 2021 News

ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEES STATEMENT

The annual HOA Dues statement has been mailed to all homeowners. We put off raising dues for the last two years, but we couldn’t avoid it for this coming year, 2022: costs for everything have gone up, so we increased dues $25 to $660. Once again, we included four payment coupons to help residents avoid having to pay all at once right after Christmas.

If you anticipate not being able to pay your Westgate fees for 2022 on time, be sure to call Inframark (281-870-0585) to discuss getting on a payment plan before more fees are tacked on-from the attorney, etc. $660 can turn into $1000+ very quickly. Even if you don’t think you can pay all at once, you need to call Inframark to make payment arrangements; DON’T WAIT and cost yourself MORE money.

These dues help pay for landscaping, electricity, water, refurbishing and adding amenities and pool management, among other things. It helps Westgate continue to be a great community with stable or increasing property values. If you’d ever like details of how your dues are spent, you can always ask our management company. Also, go to our annual meeting and you will receive a copy of the financials.

DO YOU KNOW YOUR DEED RESTRICTIONS?

In an effort to educate our residents, we’ll periodically highlight some deed restriction or other item that needs improvement in Westgate:

PARKING AND PROHIBITED VEHICLES: According to our Declarations of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions and Easements, pg. 12-13, cars etc. must be IN WORKING ORDER, have current stickers etc. and are in daily use. Vehicles like a “boat, trailer...recreational vehicle” cannot be stored on your lot unless it is concealed; a TEMPORARY permit can be issued for certain situations.

Regarding parking, vehicles MUST NOT “BLOCK A SIDEWALK.” Also, “NO MORE THAN THREE VEHICLES... may be parked on the driveway.”

Any repair work to vehicles that is visible to the street MUST BE COMPLETED WITHIN 12 HOURS AND NOT OCCUR ON A FREQUENT/REGULAR BASIS, so as to prevent disorderly and unkempt appearance in Westgate.

IMPORTANT NOTE: It’s been reported in some sections that residents are parking on BOTH sides of the street. While I understand the difficulties of where to park, parking on both sides of the street CREATES A DANGEROUS SITUATION. Emergency vehicles cannot pass through to save a life! PLEASE, when parking on the street, stagger your vehicles so they are NOT PARKED DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM ANOTHER VEHICLE on the other side of the street!

Following these instructions helps keep our neighborhood looking neat and thus keeps up our property values, as well as helping keep Westgate safe. Let’s be considerate of our neighbors!
