Committee Description:

The Board of Code Compliance (BOCC) principle purpose and function is to investigate and render judgements on alleged violations of the community codes, to ensure that Citizens/Titleholders properly maintain their lots to preserve the visual integrity and overall appearance of King Farm.  If no Board of Code Compliance members have been appointed, the Board of Trustees (BOT) acts in its place. The BOCC has the authority to conduct hearings and impose punitive measures (i.e., impose fines or suspend privileges and/or rights to use certain Community Property) against residents who are found to be in violation of community codes.

Hearings For Alleged Violations of Community Codes:

If Management determines that a property, homeowner, tenant, or guest is in violation of the community codes, a notice is sent to the homeowner (who is ultimately responsible) to correct the alleged violation. Management will have informal conversation with the homeowner (if available) and work with the homeowner based on extenuating circumstances. The homeowner is provided a reasonable amount of time to come into compliance (not less than 15 days). After follow-up, Management will determine if process has been made. If progress is not satisfactory, Management will send a notice for Intent to Hold a Hearing. The homeowner will be provided a date and time the hearing will be held via Zoom. The Hearing will be adjudicated by the BOCC. The homeowner can attend and present any evidence or facts to the BOCC members. The BOCC will render a judgement and a decision letter will be issued by Management to the homeowner. Decisions can be appealed to the BOT who is the final authority for KFCA.

If found in violation, you will receive a fine (not to exceed $500 for a first violation). That fine can be increased (not to exceed $100 per additional) for each violation of the same kind committed within 12 months of the BOCC decision. There is also a possibility of daily fines if the violation is ongoing. The fines will be assessed to your account if found in violation and will be processed in accordance with KFCA’s Collection Policy if not paid.
