WHAT ARE THE RULES REGARDING REPAINTING?

Recently, due to the age of our homes, a number of homeowners have been asking about whatthey need to do in order to repaint their homes. Did you know that even if you plan to repaintyour home the same colors as originally purchased, you must notify the HOA ArchitecturalCommittee prior to having your home painted? Failing to do so could result in a $250 or $500fine or could result in having to have your home repainted again at your expense. Please checkthe Guidelines and forms on the www.wearevision.com website (under Finley Farms South),or soon to be on our new website at www.finleyfarmssouth.com Getting approval is a simpleprocess. Read more on the back cover and save yourself both time and trouble.

And ‘Thank You’ for keeping your home and Finley Farms beautiful!
