Frequently Asked Questions

General:

  • No. Our governing documents do not specifically state wether or not we can or cannot gate our community. That said, Greyhawk Ridge does not have the authority to gate the community. The Association does not own the streets and access points, and gating is not permitted under local jurisdiction.

  • Responsibility is shared. Homeowners are responsible for their individual mailboxes (including the door, lock, and keys) in accordance with USPS rules. The HOA oversees improvements and replacement of the cluster box units, pedestals, and housings, which are defined as Limited Common Elements in the CC&Rs.

  • The Common Areas (including the entry island and areas near NE 43rd Ave / NE 119th St) are owned by Clark County but are maintained by the HOA, as defined in the CC&Rs.

  • The Greyhawk Neighborhood Park is a 5-acre park that was developed in 2007 as part of the Greater Clark Parks District program. The park is owned and maintained by Clark County.

    Here are the hours, rules, maintenance, and amenities details.

  • Sidewalks within Greyhawk Ridge fall under Clark County jurisdiction. Homeowners should keep sidewalks adjacent to their lots clear and safe (for example, free of debris and obstructions), in accordance with local regulations. Homeowners are liable for injuries that occur on sidewalks adjacent to their home.

Architectural Control:

  • The Architectural Control Committee (ACC) is appointed by the Board of Directors. Its role is to review and approve proposed exterior construction, structures, and alterations to ensure consistency with the CC&Rs and neighborhood aesthetics.

  • Driveways must be constructed of concrete, as required by the CC&Rs. Storage of boats, trailers, RVs, trucks, or similar vehicles on lots is restricted unless stored in a garage or placed in a space behind regular setback lines.

  • While the ACC does not have a pre-defined color palate of approvable colors, we have yet to (have to) formally reject a color choice that has reached the ACC for approval. We advise sticking to traditionally acceptable colors for walls, doors, and trim.

  • Plans and specifications for proposed projects, including the proposed location, materials to be used, and complete measurements must be submitted to the ACC at least thirty (30) days prior to the proposed construction starting date.

  • ACC approval is required for buildings, structures, carports, and exterior alterations, including painting, fences, pools, walls, rockeries, and similar improvements, as required by the CC&Rs. Approval is based on the type of project, not solely on whether it is visible from the street.

  • Streets may be used overnight only for private family automobiles. Boats, trailers, RVs, trucks, and similar vehicles may not be stored on streets. Vehicles considered "stored" (for example: inoperable, covered for extended periods, or illegal to drive) may be subject to enforcement. Local and county parking regulations also apply.

  • ACC approval is required before construction. Fences must be of "good neighbor" construction and artistic in design. Fence height and design are determined through the ACC approval process.

  • Per county ordinance, homeowners should keep landscaping, trees, and shrubs trimmed so they do not obstruct sidewalks or public rights-of-way.

  • Contact the HOA through the established complaint process. The Board and/or ACC will go over the concerns in accordance with the CC&Rs and Bylaws.

  • All project request forms can be found on the ACC’s Request for Project Approval page.

  • Trash containers must be screened or otherwise concealed so they are not visible from streets or neighboring properties, except on collection days, consistent with the CC&Rs.

  • All projects that are in the scope of the CC&Rs (and therefore the ACC) must be submitted 30+ days in advance of the anticipated start date. The ACC will make every effort to respond within 3 business days.

  • Front-yard fencing is generally not permitted, except for minor landscaping structures that receive ACC approval. All fences require prior ACC approval for height, design, and placement.

  • Anything that can easily be seen from the street should have ACC approval.

  • Submit a complete application with required plans and details. The ACC has 30 days to approve or deny the request. If the ACC does not respond within 30 days, approval may be deemed granted, subject to CC&R requirements.
    In the event that a project is not approved by the ACC, and the homeowners proceeded without obtaining prior approval from the ACC, the homeowner must pay to redo the project in accordance with the CC&Rs and/or By-Laws, as directed by the ACC.

  • For any additional questions or to discuss your project prior to submitting a request for approval, the ACC may be reached at: acc@greyhawkridgehoa.org

 CC&Rs:

  • An Owner is the record holder of fee-simple title to a Lot, including contract sellers, but excluding lenders holding security interests.

  • The Association is responsible for maintaining the Common Area, which is described in Article I, Section 4 of the CC&R.

  • Assessments are used for the operation of the Association, maintenance and improvement of Common Areas, Limited Common Element improvements, and administration and enforcement of CC&Rs.

  • The "Common Area" in the CC&R refers to the entry island on NE 43rd Avenue and the area north of NE 119th Street before the south end of lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 28. These properties are owned by Clark County but are to be maintained by the Greyhawk Ridge Homeowners Association.

  • The Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&R) of Greyhawk Ridge is a document that outlines the terms and conditions that all property owners in the Greyhawk Ridge Homeowners Association are subject to. It outlines the definitions of critical terms, membership and voting rights, and covenants for maintenance assessments.

  • The assessments levied by the Association are used for the formation and operation of the Association, improvement, and maintenance of the Common Area, the modification or replacement of the Limited Common Elements, and the creation and operation of a complaint process to assist members in the enforcement of the protective covenants in this Declaration.

  • Voting membership in the Greyhawk Ridge Homeowners Association is determined by ownership of a lot in the association, with each owner entitled to one vote for each lot they own. When more than one person holds an interest in a lot, they are all considered members, but only one vote can be cast with respect to any lot.

  • Annual assessments may increase up to 6% per year without a vote. Increases above 6% require approval by two-thirds (2/3) of voting members at a duly called meeting.

  • Exterior changes and structures generally require ACC approval before work begins. Always contact the ACC prior to starting an exterior project.

  • Per a Board-adopted resolution (June 6, 2015), HOA and committee communications use functional titles (for example: "GRHOA ACC") instead of individual names to protect volunteer privacy. Exceptions: financial checks require two officer signatures, and official legal documents are signed by the President, as required by the By-Laws.
