Property Lot Inspections:
As a planned community, King Farm Citizens Assembly (KFCA) has governing documents which require homeowners to perform exterior maintenance to preserve the exterior visual character of the community (the items can be aesthetic or structural). These standards can be found in the Administrative/Equity Resolutions and in the Architectural Design Guide. KFCA also has protective covenants. To protect the visual appeal and character of King Farm, period inspections are performed to ensure homeowners are in compliance with the governing documents,.
The King Farm Board of Trustees (BOT), along with the Architectural Design Trust Committee (ADT) and the Board of Code Compliance (BOCC), are committed to ensuring individual lots are maintained in accordance with the standards prescribed in the King Farm governing documents. The Board of Trustees selected HOA Inspection Services (Community Inspection Services – CIS), a 3rd party vendor, to assist management in the process of comprehensive community-wide inspections.
