Frequently Asked Questions
What Does An Homeowners Association Do?
Oversee the compliance of the Covenant and By-laws; manage and produce a yearly budget for the daily operations of the community; oversee the upkeep of the community, pay any taxes, provide community insurance. And be able to repair any common area faults.
Is everyone a member of the HOA?
NO! Home Owners only, however, all homes must be in compliance of the Covenant and By-laws
Do I have to pay HOA dues and assessments?
Yes! The HOA is usually formed when the homes are built, by the builder, and deed restrictions are put in place authorizing the HOA to charge fees to maintain the property, and yearly expenses (see Budget in Documents). If these fees are not paid, the HOA Board can place a lien on your home, and any/all fees associated with this transaction will be the responsibility of the homeowner. If the association existed before you bought your home, you are still obligated to pay these fees. The Sheffield Farms HOA has a posted sign, in our entry that indicates that we are a “Covenant Community”. The Covenant and By-laws should have been provided to you at closing by your attorney: However, you may print a copy for your record by clicking on the “Documents” tab.

Yes! The community speed limit is 25 MPH, please adhere to this speed, as our community has a lot of children and we don’t want anyone harmed.

(B) Trash cans can be placed near the curb the night before and should be removed and placed back in your garage or behind your home by the end of the day of your pickup.
(C) Trash cans are not to be placed in the street, as this obstructs traffic.
