The duties of the association fall into two primary categories:
- Enforce deed restrictions. The deed restrictions were established by the original developer of our neighborhood, look in the “Deed Restriction” FAQ above for more information.
- Maintain our common property. Our common property includes the 7 acre St. James Park, 17 cul de sac islands, and five main entrances.
In performing their duties, trustees collect annual assessments, enforce the deed restrictions that apply to each lot, contract for maintenance work, account for every dollar collected or spent on behalf of SJW POA, and other duties as specified in the covenants. The precise duties of a Trustee is spelled out in the covenants attached to your property deed. We adhere to these writing strictly and do not act unless it is clear that we have legal authority to do so on behalf of the property owners of St. James Wood.
Trustees are/do not…
- Policemen.
- Settle disputes between neighbors.
- Deal with barking dogs, garage bands or boom boxes.
