Lot Inspections (Single-Family Homes & Townhomes):

The King Farm Board of Trustees (BOT), Architectural Design Trust (ADT), and Board of Code Compliance (BOCC), are committed to ensuring individual lots are maintained in accordance with the standards outlined King Farm’s governing documents.

King Farm Citizens Assembly (KFCA) governing documents outline homeowners’ obligations to preserve and maintain the exterior visual integrity and character of the community, whether aesthetic or structural. These standards and guidelines can be found in the Administrative/Equity Resolutions and in the Architectural Design Guide. To protect the visual appeal and character of King Farm, periodic inspections are performed to ensure homeowners comply with the governing standards.

HOA Inspections USA is a 3rd party inspection service that assists the On-Site Management Team in identifying exterior maintenance items during annual, community-wide inspections.

What Do We Look For During Lot Inspections?

Homeowners are encouraged to proactively inspect their lot (especially during season changes) to identify any areas that may need attention.

Periodic Inspections:

In an ongoing effort to maintain King Farm’s aesthetic and well maintained community, exterior inspections of homes and lots occurs throughout the year. These inspections also note unapproved exterior modifications on residential lots.

In accordance with the Association’s enforcement policies, homeowners are sent notices and provided ample time to address non-compliant items identified during the inspections process. We encourage homeowners to take prompt action to ensure contractor availability and avoid weather delays as seasons change.

Management does not maintain individual color palettes for each home. You can refer to your settlement documents or to the exterior paint colors page to assist in finding your home’s builder, color palettes, deck stains, fence paint, and trim color. If you are unsure, select the closest color match and contact Management to confirm.

Proactive and Complaint Driven Inspections:

Proactive inspections are ongoing and occur on a scheduled basis throughout the year. These inspections include trash bins, alley lights, landscape, trees, common areas, and holiday decorations.

Neighbors will submit complaints to the management office when they feel their neighbors are not maintaining their home to the standards outlined in the governing documents. Management will investigate and cite items which are in violation of the documents. Management will follow up with the responsible homeowner, directly, if any items are cited.

There are instances where there is shared maintenance responsibilities of fences or other structures with your neighbor depending on the location. Homeowners are encouraged to review their property plats to determine maintenance responsibility and submit property plats to management. Homeowners are encouraged to consult their settlement documents for a copy of the property plat. If you cannot find yours, you can learn how to replace yours by clicking here.
