How do I report a Stonebrook Covenant Violation?
We have created an anonymous online reporting tool.
After a violation has been submitted the volunteer Stonebrook HOA Board will review violations and if needed a letter will be sent similar to this:
Dear Homeowner:
We write to make you aware of a potential violation of the protective covenants associated with your property located at [address]. The protective covenants provide that the Stonebrook Homeowners Association “shall have power to enforce any and all of the conditions, covenants, and restrictions set forth herein.” A copy of the Protective Covenants applicable to your property can be found at http://stonebrookhomeowners.org/ccrs/.
The specific provision of the Protective Covenants about which we are writing you today is [insert provision.] This section states that [insert language from section.] In your case we noticed the following violation: [insert description.]
Idaho law requires us to use very specific procedures when dealing with violations of protective covenants. Pursuant to Idaho Code Section 55-115 we are required to hold a meeting to vote whether to impose a fine for any infraction of the protective covenants. We are required to give you thirty (30) days notice of the meeting and the opportunity to attend and explain the situation.
The meeting will take place on ________________________, at 7:00 PM. It will be held at the following address:
___________________________________________________
___________________________________________________
___________________________________________________
If you resolve the issue before the meeting, then by law you cannot be fined for the violation. If the violation cannot reasonably be resolved prior to the meeting, you can still avoid a fine if you begin resolving the violation prior to the meeting and continue in good faith to resolve it after the meeting.
If you have any questions about this issue or how you can correct it, please don’t hesitate to contact us at vicepresident@stonebrookhomeowners.org. It is important that we all make the effort to comply with the Protective Covenants so we can maintain the character of our neighborhood and continue to support property values.
Sincerely,
Stonebrook Homeowners Association
