How are the Deed Restrictions Determined and Fine Policies enforced? |
When purchasing a home in Telfair you bought into a Deed Restricted Community. Per The Community Charter of Telfair it is the responsibility of each individual homeowner to maintain their home in a neat, attractive, and well-landscaped condition to enhance the overall beauty and aesthetic appeal of the community.
The goal of sending out a deed restriction letter of non-compliance is to help preserve the level of beautification and aesthetic appeal that you as a new homeowner originally bought in to. The community is driven on a monthly basis and the compliance officer looks at many different items, such as but not limited to, trash cans that are visible to public view, dead or dying landscaping, faded wrought iron (fences, balconies, driveway gates or light fixtures) & visible mold/mildew on the home, back of the homes visible from the levee/lake, just to name a few. At no time does the inspector step onto the homeowner’s property. A picture is taken of all violations. If disputed the inspector will go back and take a picture to show the violation, as needed. If a compliance issue is noticed then a courtesy letter is sent. The courtesy letter gives owners 30 days to correct the violation or communicate with the management team. If the correction has not been made when the compliance officer drives the community after the 30 day period then a second letter is sent and a fine is charged to the owner's account. The Community Charter of Telfair, The Fine Policy, as well as any amended By-Laws are located for review on Townsq.com. |
