An HOA (or Homeowners Association) is a legal organization created to manage and maintain the community. The primary function of the HOA is to enforce and ensure that the community's Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions are adhered to by the individual homeowners. These regulations are typically created to maintain property values within the neighborhood.

When you purchased your property you agreed to follow the community's Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions. This means that you have the duty to make sure you as a homeowner and your property is compliant with these documents at all times. In addition, the HOA also requires you to pay annual dues to help upkeep the common areas.

While other neighborhoods and communities may make their participation voluntary, all homeowners participation is mandatory.

The Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions is a legal document filed with the Knox County Register of Deeds office. Your CC&Rs cover the rights and obligations of the homeowners association to its members and vice versa. You can find a copy of this document here.

Yes. All residents in the development are governed by the CC&Rs. Your landlord should supply you with a copy when you sign a lease agreement. If needed, you can get a copy here.

You can contact our board at any time to see if there are any positions. However, if no positions are available, please be on the lookout for elections.

The main HOA dues are $120.00 and are paid annually. The Villas do have separate dues along with the main HOA dues. They are $600.00 and are also paid annually.

Submission of dues should be available in December. Please keep an eye out on Newsletters, Facebook posts, and for Dues Notices. Please visit the dues page for more information on how to pay.

Homeowners who do not pay their dues, assessments, and fees will receive a notification from the HOA Board. If the problem remains unresolved, the HOA can and will place a lien against the homeowner’s property. This lien must then be paid in full before the property can be sold to another party. No one wants things to get this far, so we try to work with the homeowner to avert this situation.

At this time, there is not a payment plan for HOA dues. Payments are to be made in full by the announced due date.

HOA dues pay for a variety of operational expenses incurred by the association. These include but are not limited to: Water bill, for irrigating the common areas Landscape maintenance for the common areas Legal expenses, for updating the CC&Rs and enforcing code violations Insurance for the common areas HOA mailings, website, and communications The HOA board members are not paid for their services.

You will need to include several items with your ARC request including plans, photos or sketches, colors, dimensions, building materials, etc. Please be as detailed as possible with your requests so the committee can vote appropriately to avoid any delays. We also ask that you plan ahead and submit any documentation at least 30 days prior to any scheduled build. All items can be submited at contact@hiddenviewfarmstn.com. For more information, check out the Architecture Approvals page.

Yes. Approval from the county does not constitute approval from the ARC. The committee still requires that your plans be submitted in writing for review. For more information, check out the Architecture Approvals page.

Everyone must seek ARC approval in writing prior to making external changes to their property. If you make changes without prior approval, your investment could be at risk. Additionally, if your modifications are outside the guidelines of the ARC, you may be required to remove or reverse the improvement(s) at owner's expense.

No. Each property and project is different. Applications are reviewed based on the individual characteristics and circumstances for each property. Always get ARC approval before making changes to your property.

For any questions, you can use the contact form or email the ARC at contact@hiddenviewfarmstn. For more information, check out the Architecture Approvals page.

Depending on the dispute, most neighbor issues cannot be enforced by the HOA, unless it is a direct covenant violation. However, in very few select instances, the Homeowners Association Manager may act as an intermediary for the dispute. Keep in mind that there is no guarantee that the contact with your neighbor may resolve the issue and further steps may be required by you. Depending on the issue, it may be a matter of the County or State

If this is your first violation, don’t take it personally. It is the duty of the Board, to uphold and enforce all governing documents for the Association. If the violation has already been resolved, then that’s all you need to do and the resolution will be noted in your file. If this is your 2nd violation, you may be subject to fines if the violation is not resolved promptly. Failure to comply with violations can result in legal actions.

Unfortunately, there is not much we can do to help rectify the situation. Please talk to your neighbors in question to resolve this matter civilly.

Technically, our neighborhood streets are not wide enough for street parking. While we understand your frustration, parking is a county-associated issue. The hoa board cannot enforce parking on/off the streets.

The HOA cannot and will not be responsible for crime in the area. Contact for the neighborhood watch can be found here and you can contact the local sheriff's department for instructions on how to move forward with any issues you may have. As always, if there’s an emergency, please dial 911.

In keeping with the goal of maintaining high property values, the CC&Rs stipulate that RVs must not be parked at our houses except for loading and unloading.

First, we ask that you talk to your neighbor and make sure you both agree on the nature of the problem. Nine times out of ten, people will try to accommodate each other’s needs. If all efforts fail, contact one of the HOA board members so that the Board is aware of the issues. Big issues may well be referred to Knox County; either the Planning Department, Roads Department, or the Sheriff Department as appropriate.

Streetlights are fixed quarterly. Please report any streetlight outages by filling out the contact page or emailing us.

Because the roads and sidewalks are property of Knox county, they would determine who would be responsible for the repair. However, the HOA will do our best to provide any information to the appropriate party.

Please use the contact form or email us.
