The Board of the Emerald Hill Homeowner’s Association is pleased to serve the community. As elected volunteers, our job is to perpetuate the covenants of the neighborhood. The covenants that govern the neighborhood consist of conditions and restrictions affecting the lots in Emerald Hills. The board does not have authority to take care of issues beyond that which is granted in the covenants. 

According to the covenants, the purpose of the Emerald Hill Home Owner’s Association is two fold: 

1) to oversee the upkeep, maintenance and improvement of Easements and Common Areas that may hereafter be conveyed to the Association. In order to accomplish its duties, annual assessments are required. 

2) to make sure that no building or other improvements shall be erected, placed or altered on any of said lots until the Architectural Review Committee has approved the external design and materials, and to ensure that said improvements are in harmony with existing structures. No fence, wall, or sign of any kind shall be erected, placed, or altered on any of said lots until similarly approved.  

If you have other concerns outside of these two areas, please consult the list below of public official and government agencies that can help you resolve the issue. Thank you.
