HOA Trustees: We Want to Hear from You!
In most subdivisions, the Board of Trustees is comprised of subdivision homeowners who volunteer their time to maintain and improve their respective subdivisions for the betterment and enjoyment of all residents. Generally, the subdivision community elects trustees to their positions at an annual meeting. The duration of service is detailed in the association’s indentures and terms are usually staggered to ensure a continuing level of experience on the board. When your trustees change (or if you live in a newer subdivision) it's important to update your HOA contacts with the City. Providing the City with up-to-date contact information ensures that we are able to share important news, changes and event details (such as the annual HOA symposium) with you. To update your information, please contact Lauren at (636) 327-5101.
