Neighbors ask developer to build HOA transparency and rental limits into townhome plan

Apr 28, 2026

Residents urged Meritage Homes to include HOA governance and transparency measures (including early resident board participation and financial transparency) and asked whether the project will allow rentals; the developer said the project is planned for sale at about $350,000–$400,000 and will work with legal counsel on CCRs.

The full story

Residents questioned whether the development would be rentals or owner‑occupied and urged strong HOA governance so that yards and shared areas are maintained. Council member Lee and others said CCRs can restrict rentals or limit the percentage of units that can be rented, and urged developer‑drafted documents to include homeowner oversight and transparency provisions; some residents asked that non‑voting resident board members be allowed immediately upon occupancy to help prevent alleged past HOA fraud.
