Welcome! 

 

Greetings Neighbors,

 

It's that time of year again -- spring is a time when our neighborhood buzzes with outdoor activity, so please drive slowly and watch out for children playing and people walking or jogging. And if you are out walking your dog, please use the new doggie waste baskets in our community.

 

Spring is also a time to clean out your garage, attic, basement and yard. The county provides complimentary dumpsters for a few days each spring. They will be in Bay Hills May 15 and 17, in the pool parking lot. We realize this is during the week, but we couldn't get another date that didn't interfere with summer pool parking. Take advantage of this free service.

Sincerely,   

 

Paul Cain

BHCA President

Sellers are expected to clear their BHCA account prior to closing on a home sale. The title company representing the buyer is required by law to research obligations related to a property.
