River Farms HOA

Greetings River Farms Residents, 

To assist you in getting acclimated to the different deed restriction processes, we want to provide information regarding compliance inspections. 

Compliance inspections are performed once a month. During these routine inspections, the compliance inspector will be monitoring and citing violations, including but not limited to the below-mentioned items.

The first letter you receive notifying you of the violation is considered a "Courtesy Notice". If the violation still occurs after the cure period, the violation will be escalated, resulting in a certified letter and a fee assessed to the account.

The Board encourages homeowners to act on curing the violation and communicate with our office upon receiving the first notice.
