Welcome to Ashford Hills

The realtor or closing company will need to contact the Association Treasurer at [email protected] for a Statement of Accounts and a Resale Certificate for the property. Along with these documents, the closing company or realtor will receive a copy of the association bylaws, deed restrictions, architectural guidelines, an approval form for changes to the visible portions of the property including, but not limited to, new fences, roofs, windows, and paint. Additionally, the realtor or closing company will receive a Tenant Information Form if the home purchase is intended as a rental property.

Association Membership Fees are assessed once per year. Normally the assessment invoices are sent out in early November and are due to be paid by February 1st of the next year. At times the association board members may determine that a special assessment is necessary to pay for a large capital expense such as major repairs to community amenities. These assessments are rare and must be approved at a community wide meeting by a majority of residents. The 2025 annual association membership fee is set at $627.00 per household. Future membership fees will be determined using the calculations mentioned under that FAQ.

Annual membership fees that are not paid by the due date can be assessed a late fee of $125.00. Prior to the assessment of a late fee, efforts will be made to contact the association member with reminders as well as to describe possible payment plans available as prescribed in the association bylaws. In addition to the late fee, failing to pay a yearly assessment fee can also have interest applied to the amount owed if the homeowner does not pay on time and does not enter into a payment agreement with the association Treasurer and Board.

Annual membership fees are set using a formula that relies on a comparison between the previous year’s Consumer Price Index and the current year’s Consumer Price Index. This formula looks at the amount of inflation for goods and services from one year to the next to help determine if an increase in the maintenance fee will be needed to maintain the amenities and services the association provides. Annual maintenance fee increases are capped by the association bylaws so that they cannot exceed a 10% increase year over year.

If a homeowner finds themself in this situation, they should contact the Association Board and/or the Treasurer to set up a payment plan as described in the Association bylaws.

Moneys received from the membership fees along with other sources of fees and rebates pay for the upkeep of community amenities such as the pool and cabana, park maintenance including security lighting, association amenities insurance, private trash service, and administrative costs related to association management. No board member is paid for their service to the association, but they may be reimbursed for personal expenditures related to association management and approved by the association board.

The association contains a pool and cabana with restrooms and parking, a private leash- free dog park, a children’s playground, a book-share library, and four neighborhood parks for picnicking, relaxing on benches in each of the parks, or playing sporting games in the parks. For access to the pool/cabana and the dog park, residents will need to pay a fee for a key to both of those areas. Additionally, residents wishing to access the dog park will need to provide proof of inoculations for their dogs and sign a user’s agreement.
