Does the RVM HOA insurance cover my home and personal property?
No, your lender requires that you get homeowners insurance as a condition of you taking out a mortgage. This amount is most frequently (not always) part of the escrow balance you see on your mortgage statement. Your mortgage company will issue a check to your insurance company based on a predetermined schedule. Contact your mortgage company for questions or details specific to your situation.Â
The RVM HOA insurance covers some (not all) damage to shared or community spaces and liability expenses that are the responsibility of the HOA.
What are a few basic do's and dont's?
1. Keep your home well-maintained and help maintain shared spaces. Keep disturbances to a minimum as we do share walls.
2. Please keep your pets (2 per household) on a leash when outside for their safety. Pick up your pet's waste when on your neighbors property or on common areas, day or night. It's common courtesy to pick up after your dog.
3. Park in your garage, if you or a guest is parked in the driveway do not block the sidewalk. If you temporarily park on the street, do not block driveways or mailboxes.
4. Please help keep our neighborhood clean, please pick up loose trash or brush and dispose of it properly. Some in our community are not as physically capable as you might be, help out when you can. Also, please remove lawn flags on your property when work is completed.
5. Thanks for keeping your garage lights on at night! A well lit neighborhood is an excellent crime deterrent.

How can I become an involved HOA member?
You automatically become a member with voting rights, which gives you a voice in helping to set association rules, policies, and regulations that affect your neighborhood. We hold a member meeting each spring and encourage you to come and participate. If you have an idea that you would like to implement to improve the neighborhood, contact the HOA Board with your idea along with a proposed budget.
