The annual budget is voted on by the Board of Whisper Lakes 1 HOA at the end of each calendar year, to take effect the following calendar year. All owners will be notified of this mandatory budget meeting via USPS, and, if we have one, an email. Notices are sent out 30 days in advance of the meeting and will contain information on the proposed budget, along with other relevant information for that meeting. Please pay close attention to this information and plan to attend the meeting if you are able.
After the budget is passed coupon books will be ordered with the communities bank, TRUIST, and mailed to the mailing address we have on file for each owner. It is very important that if you move, you contact us to update your mailing address with us. Please note; failure to notify us of your mailing address changes does not waive your responsibilities to make your HOA payments on time. Late fees will be assessed and will not be waived for owners paying late regardless of their claim against not receiving a coupon book.

As a condominium, The HOA is responsible for maintaining, repairing, or replacing all common elements and structural components of the building. This means, for example, the exterior of the building surface. Such as stucco, brick or siding, roofs, trim, and facia. The structural components that hold the building up, and all the utility services that feed to (or from) any common elements or multiple units.
As the property owner, you are responsible for the maintenance, repair, and replacement of all items that are for the exclusive use of your property. Think drywall, electrical wiring, and sockets that feed power to your unit only, Plumbing that is for your unit alone, windows and doors that are in your unit, and any fixtures, surfaces, and appliances within your property.
If you are ever in question of whose responsibility it is, first ask yourself; can anyone besides myself as the owner "use" this surface or item? If the answer is yes, its likely something the Association takes care of. If the answer is No, it's probably something that you as the owner are responsible for.
