  • How do I obtain my pool key cards?

You will be requested to fill out a Key Card Application and submit one group family photo that will be printed onto the key cards. As a part of closing, the new homeowner will pay for two key cards. If you do not pay for key cards during closing, then you can pay for them at the Woodbury office.

The cost to replace a lost key card is $50.00 each, and our office accepts check or card for payment.

If the property is rented to a tenant, with the permission of the owner, the tenant must come to the Association office and purchase new Cards for the property in the amount of $50.00. Owner(s) must provide a copy of the written lease agreement and notify management by email that their tenant will come to the Association office to obtain and purchase new Cards that will be issued at the expense of the homeowner/tenant. New Cards must be issued with each new tenant change as a new photo must be taken for the Cards.  If the property is leased, Cards previously issued to the Owner will be deactivated.

Any Cards not returned upon sale of the property will be deactivated and replacement Cards can be purchased for the amount of $50.00 per Card. The Cards are photo ID cards. A photograph of each individual to which the Cards are issued is required prior to issuance. 

Key cards may not be given to a guest to access the facilities and that residents of the property must accompany any and all guests at all times when using the facilities.

  • What is my assessment?

The assessment is the monthly amount due from each homeowner to cover the operating expenses of the common areas and to provide for reserve funds for replacement of common facilities in future years. Your assessments are due on the first of the month. Statements will be sent for assessments as a reminder of the amount due.

  • How is the amount of my assessment determined?

This budget is set up on specific guidelines for utilities, landscaping, administration, etc. Reserve funds are monies set aside for future expenses due to the life expectancy of certain items such as lighting, play equipment, pool equipment, etc. These amounts are then divided by the number of units built in a given phase of the development. Budgets are developed by the Board of Directors.

  • Will my assessment go up?

The assessment is the monthly amount due from each homeowner to cover the operating expenses of the common areas and to provide for reserve funds for replacement of common facilities in future years. Your assessments are due on the first of the month. Statements will be sent for assessments as a reminder of the amount due.

  • What happens if I don't pay my assessment?

The maintenance and management services incurred by the Association are dependent upon timely receipt of the assessments due from each homeowner. Late payments will result in a late charge, as assessments are due on the first of the month. In addition, the CC&R's allows the Association to charge late charges and interest and proceed with a lien on your property, or foreclosure proceeding for nonpayment of assessments.

  • What are the CC&R'S?

The Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&R's) are the governing legal documents that set up the guidelines for the operation of the planned community as a nonprofit corporation. The CC&R's were recorded by the Orange County recorder's office and are included in the title to your property. Failure to abide by the CC&R's may result in a fine being assessed to a homeowner's account or other disciplinary action by the Association.

  • What are the Bylaws?

The Bylaws are the guidelines for the operation of the nonprofit corporation. The Bylaws define the duties of the various offices of the Board of Directors, the terms of the Directors, the membership's voting rights, required meetings and notices of meetings, and the principal office of the Association, as well as other specific items that are necessary to run the Association as a business.

  • Are there any other rules?

The Woodbury Community Association has developed Rules and Regulations as adopted by the Board of Directors. These Rules have been established to provide direction to the homeowners and residents with regard to pool and park use, parking, vehicles, real estate signs, facility rentals, elections of the Board of Directors, etc. In addition, the Association has adopted Design Guidelines with procedures for submitting requests to make exterior changes to your home. Such changes include landscaping, patio covers, decks, exterior color changes, additions, etc.. These Rules and Guidelines are set up to maintain the aesthetic value and integrity of the community on behalf of all owners, and hopefully protect the market value of your investment as well. Violations of these rules may result in a fine being assessed to a homeowner's account and/or other disciplinary action by the Association. In addition, if you proceed with an exterior improvement or change without written approval from the Design Review Committee, you will be required to remove or correct the alteration.

  • What if an alleged violation could be observed via a visual inspection by management?

If residents cannot resolve an issue between themselves, it may be appropriate at that time to contact the Association for assistance. If you are willing to actively participate in the enforcement process, please fill out a Rules and Violation Report and forward it to the Association's General Manager for review. If the situation is deemed to be a violation of the governing documents, the Board of Directors will seek to correct the violation via the Association's Violation Enforcement Policy. The Rules and Violation Report form can be obtained on the "Forms and Publications" portion of this web site.

Alleged violations that can be observed via a visual inspection by management may be reported directly to the Association's General Manager.
