Huntwick Civic Association

The Huntwick Civic Association, Inc. is comprised of all Huntwick homeowners who are automatically members. It operates under the authority of our Restrictive Covenants (Deed Restrictions), its Articles of Incorporation as a tax-exempt entity, and its By- laws. It does not own operating properties, but does contract for security, waste disposal and maintenance of the Common Areas - essentially the esplanades in the subdivision and along Champion Forest Drive. HCA is funded by a Maintenance Fee authorized by the Deed Restrictions, and a Resident Service Fee authorized by the membership. The Maintenance Fee is billed annually. Maintenance fee bills are sent in October and due by January 10th of each year. This fee funds routine operations as specified in the annual budget. The Resident Service Fee is included as a convenience in your monthly water and sewer bill. It funds security and waste disposal activities - about 85% of our total costs. Both fee levels are established by board resolution and voted on by the Huntwick Civic Association membership. All fees set by the board must be voted on by the homeowners at the annual meeting with the exception of the annual Maintenance fee.

Board meetings are held at 7:30 p.m. in the Huntwick Racquet Club the second
Tuesday of every month. They are open meetings, and residents are encouraged
to attend.  There is also a very important annual meeting each February at which
the community elects new directors, approves a budget for the next year, and
votes on any other matters properly presented to the meeting. There are also a
number of HCA committees which are always in need of volunteers.  This is a
great way to get involved within the Huntwick community.

Annual Maintenance Fee
The Annual Maintenance Fee is an assessment that every property owner is required to pay.  The rate is established annually by the Huntwick Civic Association Board of Directors.  Payment of the Fee is secured by a vendor’s lien reserved in the Deed to each lot.

In early NOVEMBER the Huntwick Civic Association mailed the invoices for the Maintenance Fee for the year 2009.  Invoices have been mailed to your property address or Mortgage Company, depending upon the instructions on file.  If you have refinanced, paid off your mortgage or for any reason feel your mailing address needs to be updated, please call 281-586-9767.

If you have NOT received your invoice, PLEASE CALL 281-586-9767 and leave a message with your name and address and an additional one will be mailed to you.

Payments should be mailed to the address on your invoice.  This is the address for the Huntwick Recreational Facilities.  If you prefer, you may drop off your payment in the drop box/slot to the left of the front door of the clubhouse.  MAKE SURE IT IS LABELED HUNTWICK CIVIC ASSOCIATION.


Homeowners Associations Continue to Grow
New data indicates that the number of community associations in the United States has grown to 300,800, comprising an estimated 24.1 million housing units and more than 59.5 million residents.  This is up from 223,000 associations and 45 million residents in 2000.  Homeowners associations and other planned communities account for 52-55 percent of these totals, condominiums for 38-42 percent, and cooperatives for 5-7 percent.  In 1970, fewer than a million Americans lived in homeowner and condominium associations and cooperatives.  Other statistics: More than 1.7 million people serve on community association governing boards; the value of the homes in all community associations is estimated at $4 trillion; and estimated annual operating revenue for U.S. community associations is more than $41 billion.  This information is developed for CAI by Association Information Services.  It is derived from U.S. Census publications, the American Housing Survey, IRS Statistics of Income Reports and other sources (information updated December 2008).
