Hi all! This is a quick review of what is the responsibility of Cedar Glen Estates Cooperative after the purchase of your community, and what will continue to be the responsibility of the individual homeowner and member. If you have questions, or a specific situation you think isn't addressed here, please comment below and we will get back to you!
1)The Cooperative is responsible for:
•All underground utilities
•Snowplowing of roads
•Maintenance of roads and common areas
•Trees (taller than 20 feet)
•Utility Poles (applicable in some communities)
•Enforcing the Community Rules of the Cooperative
2)The homeowner is responsible for:
•Hooking up to utilities and maintaining connections
•Upkeep of their lot and home
•Trees (smaller than 20 feet - and communicate with the board about your plans for trimming/removal)
•The care, maintenance and snow removal of their own walk-ways and driveways.
•Obeying Community Rules
•Payment of lot rent on time
•Prominently displaying the street number on the front of the home for emergency location (911)
•All state or local taxes on the home are the responsibility of the homeowner. You may not remove your home unless all taxes are paid and a copy of the permit from the local governing body allowing removal of the home is given to the Cooperative.
When in doubt - check your copy of the rules and ask the board!
And remember -- the Cooperative owns the community, and you are a member of the Cooperative. That means even when the Cooperative pays for things they are responsible for, the cost is simply shared among you and your neighbors.
