Welcome to Mountain Park Condominium Homeowner’s Association (Mtn Park)
Dear New Homeowner,
Congratulations on the purchase of your new home. On behalf of the Mountain Park Condominium Homeowner’s Association. The Board of Directors and all homeowners of Mtn Park, we would like to officially welcome you to our neighborhood. We are so pleased that you have chosen to call Mtn Park home.
We certainly look forward to meeting you whether it be by personal visit, walking throughout the neighborhood or a community activity. Moving into a common-interest community, property governed by a homeowner’s association, can be a confusing and challenging ordeal, more especially for those who have never before been involved with a homeowner’s association. Mtn Park HOA would like your experience here to be a positive and enjoyable one. To help you, we have created this brief document to touch upon some key areas of interest for all new homeowners. This document is not designed to replace or substitute for the Mtn Park Homeowner’s Association governing documents rather providing a simple summary. All potential homeowners should be given the opportunity to read and understand the governing documents prior to moving into the Mtn Park HOA, and each homeowner has the responsibility to honor the provisions of these documents.
Mtn Park Homeowner’s Association was created by the Developer as a formal legal entity to maintain common areas of the Association and ensure quality and value of properties within the neighborhood.
As a legal authority, the HOA is deemed to enact and enforce maintenance and design standards in addition to the standards established by the city.
Mtn Park is a covenant-controlled community. It is incumbent upon all homeowners to read and comply with the dedicatory documents of the association called the Declaration, Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions (DCCR’s). By accepting title to your home one automatically accepts responsibility to abide by these covenants. The dedicatory documents can be found in your closing papers. The association operates via a volunteer Board of Directors who oversees the development. Due to residing within Mtn Park we residents are bound by the rules and regulations set forth in the dedicatory documents. Should a violation of these documents occur a homeowner will receive a written notice of the covenant violation with proper time-frame to resolve the issue. Should a violation go unresolved a fine may be assessed. Fines are intended to target covenant infractions that have a direct correlation to home values and consistency of architecture. It is not the desire of the Board to fine a homeowner, however, violations which affect property values and/or neighborhood appearance must be resolved in a timely manner.
The fines are in place to provide motivation to resolve the issue, not as a punishment.
Information regarding fines can be found on by contacting the MtnPark Board of Directors should you need to address a Covenant violation.
Each homeowner, not the bank or mortgage company, is responsible for paying the monthly HOA assessment fee of $200.00.
Monthly Assessments are to be received on or before the first day (1) of each calendar month. A payment not received or postmarked by the fifth day (5) will be subject to a late charge (CC&Rs Section 18.6) of $50.00 for that month.
Mtn Park HOA produces an association newsletter at least quarterly each year. At times a special edition may be published. Newsletters include vital & current topics of interest, upcoming community events, community policing info, and other relevant information. We use the newsletter, our website, and emails to communicate with homeowners. We would appreciate your taking time to complete the member directory form enclosed in the packet. This will provide an email to send you newsletters and other timely information about the community. Please know your email will not be shared with outside parties.
The operation of your homeowner’s association is governed by an active volunteer Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors is elected by the Association to oversee the daily functions and financial responsibilities of the Association.
The Board is also responsible for maintaining members’ compliance with the established dedicatory documents of the Association.
They have specific provisions regarding what can and cannot be done on members properties.
It is imperative that members take the time to read through the dedicatory documents you receive during the home purchase process.
These are given to you in your closing documents.
The dedicatory documents initially set up by the Developer at the inception of the Association and recorded with the Ada County Clerk’s office state the Boards’ primary duty is to preserve the integrity of the development and maintain the appearance of the neighborhood by managing the following:
- Provide financial management and neighborhood planning
- Common area maintenance and repairs
- Provide architectural change/improvement guidance
- Oversee the enforcement of the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions, and subsequent Amendments Included with this letter is a series of pages with helpful information that will benefit you in being introduced to the association, explaining your obligations as a member, and sharing valuable information on the rules and regulations that are applicable to all members which may prove helpful in the future.
