I am the homeowner at Lakeside Cove I have lived here for 17 years I replaced my garage door in 2009 to a garage door with windows. The door was replaced after approval from the ARC **mmittee. The management ** was ******** at the time. It was approved by the property manager *****************. I was fined in Aug 2022 for a screen which was replaced. After the fine for the screen I was fined for the garage door that I have had since 2009. I emailed the hoa and was told the fine would be removed. Then I received another letter that it was added to my ac**unt again without notice and was overdue. I have all the documentation on this. You cannot charge for something that was approved in 2009 and you agreed that the case was closed for that reason and the fine would be reversed. This fine will **ntinue to grow interest and attached to my home if not removed. I need this remedied, I have e mailed and called to no avail. Please helpBusiness response

Thank you for reaching out to me. This issue was closed after you brought this up at the annual meeting. There were no fines assessed. As discussed at the Annual meeting Timmons dors not make these decisions, and was asked to send the notice for the ARC. Given that it was approved by the previous management company, we were not aware, however, everything has been closed.
Thank you again for making uscaware.

This is an HOA management company. They have been sending me violation letters for the last 10 months and fining me. I have responded in writing to them multiple times asking for the exact sections of our HOA governing that these violations are from and also the section that allows them to issue fines. They refuse to provide this information. The lack of communication from them is appalling as they charge our HOA over 50k a year to drive around and send violation letters in our neighborhood. I am not the only one in our HOA that has issues with not receiving any communication back from this company. They are now claiming they are turning me over to an attorney because they refuse to answer my questions.Business response

Business Response /* (1000, 12, 2022/09/07) */ Timmons Properties does not make decisions for the community. All decisions are made by the board of Directors according to the Governing Documents. There is a website that all homeowners have access to that houses all of the information for the community. Timmons is not a decision maker, we are only a liaison. Consumer Response /* (3000, 15, 2022/09/13) */ (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.) Timmons claims to be a liaison between Homeowners and the HOA board. They have failed to communicate issues homeowners are having to the Board. Timmons also claims they do not have the authority to remove fees and fines, I also believe they do not have the authority to issue fines. This question has been asked over and over again what section of the governing documents grants them permission to issue fines. They refuse to answer this question. They have also denied me access to all of our HOA records that I am entitled to review and make copies of, according to our governing documents. They still need to answer these questions that was presented in the emails, this is what Timmons is paid for. Business Response /* (4000, 17, 2022/09/14) */ Timmons Properties has communicated all homeowner concerns to the board of directors. As well in this homeowners case the homeowner emailed and communicated directly with the board president.
