The Association conducts routine Deed Restriction inspections throughout the month. Violations are entered into the Deed Restriction Program in which Owners will receive a letter informing them of the alleged violation. If upon the second inspection the violation remains uncured, Owners are sent a certified letter allowing a thirty-day period in which they may appeal to the Board of Directors. If upon the third inspection the violation remains uncured, a fine may be issued. If upon the fourth inspection the violation remains uncured, the case may be forwarded to the Association’s attorney.

In efforts to help owners identify areas of concern, the following is a list of the most prevalent violations noted in the Community:

• Weeds infiltrating into the Bermuda grass.
• Modifications such as the addition of trees, pools, front doors, landscape borders, down-lighting, basketball goals, etc. in which no application has been submitted.
• Boats and trailers parked in the Community.
• Burned out bulbs in address plaques and exterior light fixtures.
• Mowing of vacant Lots.
• Trash totes in public view.
• Exterior lighting (including landscape up-lighting and coach lighting) and address plaques not lit from dusk until dawn.

The following is a copy of the Royal Oaks R.C.O.A. Deed Restriction Fine Policy:

1. First notation of a Deed Restriction violation will result in a letter being sent to the Owner via regular mail, stating the alleged violation and allowing the owner a thirty-day period in which to cure the violation.

2. Second notation of the same Deed Restriction violation will result in a letter sent to the Owner via certified mail, stating the alleged violation, allowing a thirty -day period in which the owner may appear before the Board to contest the violation or to cure the violation.

3. Third notation of the same Deed Restriction violation will result in the matter being turned over to the Board for advisement at the next scheduled Board Meeting. The Board will then decide what action to take in efforts of curing the violation.

4. If a fine is decided as the Board’s advisement, an initial fine of fifty-dollars will be proposed. The Owner will have ten days from the postmarked date of notification in which to request a meeting before the Board to appeal their fine. If after the ten-day period the owner does not request a hearing before the Board, the Owner will have twenty additional days to both pay the fine and cure their violation. If either the fine is not paid, or the violation is not cured after the additional twenty-day period, the case will be forwarded to Board Advisement at the next scheduled meeting for further consideration, whereby the Board may decide to refer the matter to the Association’s attorney.

5. Depending on the seriousness of the violation, the Association, at it's discretion, retains the right to begin enforcement with a certified letter as outlined in numeral 2 above.
