The Aviay HOA

The Aviay HOA

The Aviary HOA takes pride in maintaining a strong sense of community. The Board of Directors are elected by the membership, are volunteers and are fellow homeowners. Our mission is to treat all members as neighbors and friends as we work to manage the association and to maintain property values while working within the scope of the CC&R’s.

Meet the Social Committee

The social committee conducts activities to enhance member engagement and neighbors getting to know each other. Popular events such as the Board of Director Pool Season Opening Party and our Fall Cookout are events looked forward to each year.

How the Board of Directors Work

The Aviary HOA is led by a five-member board of directors made up of homeowners. Board members are voted into office via a homeowner election process. Board members are non-paid, and homeowners who volunteer to serve. Board members are elected to a two-year term.

The Board works within the confines of the HOA’s governing documents (Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions). These are also known as the DCCRs. The Board is responsible for establishing policies/rules, within the scope of the CC&R’s, that are used by the property management company to manage the day-to-day operation of the association.

As is generally the case with HOAs, the DCCRs were established by the original developer of the Aviary. Property changes and improvements are governed by the DCCRs.

All committee members are homeowners and are also unpaid volunteers. Members are appointed by the Board of Directors.

When making modifications and/or additions to their property, homeowners are required to obtain HOA, Architectural Control Committee (ACC) approval before making modifications that add to or change how the property looks or is configured. This requirement is like the City’s building permit process but is done at the HOA level. A three-member HOA Board-appointed Architectural Control Committee (ACC), with the assistance of our management company, manages the ACC process.

The Aviary HOA CC&R’s require a minimum of one Board meeting per year. As a practical matter, the Board meets on a regular or as needed basis to conduct the business of the association. Except for executive sessions, all Aviary HOA meetings are open meetings for members to attend and the Board encourages and welcomes members to attend and get involved. Monthly meetings are generally held virtually, and the annual meeting is generally held in person at the city’s community room.

HOA members will receive advance notice of all meetings (date, time, location, and agenda). The meeting notices are distributed to members via eBlast. Please ensure you update your contact information so you will not miss the meeting and event notices
