HOA Dues - Why Pay Them??? Beyond the legal requirement, as outlined in the CC&Rs recorded on each of our properties, everyone should pay their HOA dues promptly, so the Association will have the funds necessary to satisfactorily manage the community. There are a number of common areas, along with the two (2) main entrances located at Duvall and NE Sixth and at Union & NE 7th St. that the Association maintains at a substantial cost. These areas offer great aesthetic assets to the community and are vital to keeping up the community's appearance and preserving property values.

Orchards Master Annual Dues: Orchards I and II homeowners are billed directly by our management company, Bell-Anderson, at the beginning of each year. Cherrywood Lane, Peachtree Lane and Plum Grove homeowners pay their portion of the annual Orchards HOA dues monthly through their sub-homeowner associations, who in turn pay the appropriate amounts to the master OPCA.

Board Meeting Information

Annual Meetings. The Orchards 2009 Annual Homeowners Meeting was held on Tuesday, February 10th, 2009. The HOA Board has reviewed the 2009 Annual Meeting Minutes and has authorized their release - a copy is attached - THIS Adobe PDF file

Budget Ratification. A Special Meeting of The Orchards HOA was held on November 21, 2008 when the 2009 HOA Budget was discussed, radified and approved.
An HOA dues increase of $15 per year (for a total of $245/year per homeowner) was approved to begin January 1, 2009.
As discussed at the Special Meeting, this dues increase is necessary for the HOA to hire an outside management firm to become more involved with the day-to-day operations, and to help maintain the consistent, positive appearance of our community.
