Spring is Coming!

All exterior landscaping or structural improvements require approval by the ACC. Exterior painting, additions, storage sheds, re-siding, roofs, and visible landscaping require approval prior to commencing work. This process ensures adherence to high standards of the development .
Visit www.northshorehoa.com/acc guidelines, complete the Homeowner Improvement Project Application on Page 13, and submit it for approval with scanned pictures, diagrams, paint chips, etc.
Email receives the fastest response! Submit your requests early. If an improvement project is completed without approval from the ACC, removal or modification may be required at the property owner’s expense, and fined in compliance with the CC&Rs and Supplemental Guide-lines.

Re-roofing? There are some new options!

As our homes age, many roofs in our neighborhood are beginning to fail.
In 2012, the Board approved the use of Heavyweight Composite/Laminated Shingles as acceptable within Northshore Country Club Estates Division IV-A, IV-B, Phase 1 provided the following criterion/requirements are met:
Manufacturer/Product:
CertainTeed (Presidential ShakeTL)
Owens Coning (Woodmoor)
GAF (Grand Canyon)
PABCO (Paramount Advantage)
Minimum Weight: 450 pounds per square
Color: Shades of grey to brown (no shades of green, red, yellow, blue, etc)

Delinquent Dues

Our yearly homeowner dues of $180 per lot have not increased since 2005. Due in July and only source of revenue for the HOA’s ongoing maintenance and operating expenses. If chronic delinquent, assessed liens prevent
your refinancing and sales.

List not available at time of printing
Please be respectful of our volunteer time. / It takes effort to rebill and assess late fees.

Our homes are getting older and with that comes the need for new paint. With summer rapidly approaching, it is time to start planning your painting project. Please remember to submit your exterior paint colors to the Architectural Control Committee (ACC) for approval as required by the CC&Rs before you paint. The approval process is quick and easy. Simply complete and email your form to info@northshorehoa.com or mail to the PO Box. The form can be found on the website at www.northshorehoa.com (included as page 13 of the ACC Guidelines). You should clearly indicate the body, trim, and other exterior colors, and include paint samples with the submittal form.
