FOR YOUR PERSONAL USE:
When you closed on your home, you should have been asked to create a 4-digit Personal Entry Code which you can use to enter the community if you do not have a FOB. This code is YOUR Personal Entry Code and it should not be given to guests or delivery persons. To use this code at the gate entrance, drive to the keypad and enter the pound “#” sign and then your Personal Entry Code #----. If you do not enter in the # sign before the numbers, your code will not work.

If you do not have this code, contact the Management company to have your selected code sent to the vendor for programming.

FOR YOUR GUESTS, FOR DELIVERIES OR FOR REALTORS:
When you closed on your home, your last name should have been added to the directory and a 3-digit Directory Code was assigned to your name. If you go to the keypad and scroll to look for your last name, you should see your 3-digit Directory Code. When people approach the gate to visit your house, they can either look for your name and then press the “Call” button, or they can type the 3-digit Directory Code plus the “Call” button. It will call the phone number linked to your account. Again, DO NOT GIVE OUT YOUR PERSONAL CODE! You should only give others your Directory Code which is not the same.

When you receive this call, press 9 on your phone keypad to open the gate. The phone number you will receive the call from is (407) 338-4559. You may want to program this number to the phone that receives these calls so that you can identify that it is a person calling you from the LVP gate.

IF YOU ARE HAVING AN ISSUE WITH YOUR GATE CODE, OR NEED ASSISTANCE WITH UPDATING YOUR DIRECTORY INFORMATION, PLEASE CONTACT THE PROPERTY MANAGER.

A homeowners association (HOA) is a corporation that serves as the governing body of a residential community. HOAs are created to protect the community’s property values by developing and upholding its covenants and bylaws, which define the actions homeowners may take with their properties and their behavior within the community. All community homeowners are mandatory members of the HOA and must follow the community’s guidelines to ensure a harmonious environment and lifestyle; failure to comply can result in fines or other penalties.

An HOA’s board of directors is comprised of homeowners who have volunteered to stand for election to leadership or member roles. The board comprises officers, including an elected president, vice-president, treasurer and secretary. Board members serve the community by making and enforcing the association’s rules and policies, collecting dues, and ensuring its facilities and common areas are well-managed, maintained, and attractive.

What Your HOA Fees Cover:

Think of your monthly HOA fee like a community piggy bank that pays for things everyone uses together. Here's some of what your money helps cover:

Everyday Community Upkeep

• Keeping the lawn and landscaping looking nice

• Maintaining water and sewer systems in common areas

• Keeping shared spaces comfortable with heating and cooling

• Lighting up the community's common areas

• Running the security system and maintaining gates

Shared Spaces and Amenities

• Cleaning and maintaining shared spaces like hallways and the clubhouse

• Keeping the pool, playground, and fitness equipment in good shape

• Handling pest control in common areas

Protection and Planning

• Buying a community-wide insurance policy to protect buildings and property

• Setting aside money for big future repairs (like repaving roads)—this is a Reserve Fund

• Creating an emergency fund for unexpected expenses

Management

• Paying a professional team to manage the community, enforce rules, and handle day-to-day operations

The goal is to keep the community running smoothly, looking great, and protecting everyone's property value through shared, responsible maintenance.

How the Monthly Assessments Are Calculated:

At the end of each year, the HOA board creates a budget for the next year. They then:

1. Add up all expected community expenses

2. Subtract out the expected Estates expenses (expenses that only relate to phase 3—The Estates)

3. Divide the total cost by the number of homes in the entire community—398 homes (phases 1, 2 and 3)

4. Divide this cost over 12 months to get to the monthly assessment for phases 1 and 2 only. Phase 3 has an additional portion added to this number.

5. Divide the expected Estates expenses by 75 homes that make up phase 3. Divide by 12 to get the monthly amount that needs to be added to the number calculated for phases 1 and 2. This approach was originally set up by the community developer, Pulte, when they expanded the neighborhood to include phase 3.

Each homeowner association is governed by its own unique rules and policies. These are itemized in the Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) and bylaws. These clearly define the behavior and actions homeowners can and cannot take regarding their homes and communities. These rules and policies protect property values by keeping the community clean, safe, and beautiful and ensuring a harmonious living environment for all residents. The CC&Rs are enforced by the HOA's board of directors or by a property management company hired by the association to uphold the board’s decisions. Homeowners are required to follow all the community’s rules, even if they disagree, and non-compliance can result in fines or legal action.

The CPA Reviewed and/or Audited Financial Statements, meeting minutes and the governing documents can be found by logging into the Premier Association Management portal. Meeting minutes cannot be posted until the final version of the minutes are adopted. This typically happens at the following board meeting.
