Updates to the BCA Covenants & Restrictions
Based on the results of our 2025 vote, many modifications to our BCA Covenants & Restrictions would have passed if we had achieved sufficient community participation.
So, we're putting them to another vote in hopes of making a change to the following items:
🗳️ above-ground pools
🗳️ fence height standards
🗳️ home offices
🗳️ livestock
🗳️ personal work vehicles
🗳️ management company designation.
Ballots will be mailed to association members in early March. Instructions for submitting your ballot will be included. We're counting on your participation to make meaningful changes to our community!
