Homeowner reminder service

Should make an HOA email box. Which when creating put the first and last name generic or combo of HOA name. Example: first name : HOA Last Name: Fairhope. That way no one person on the board gets identifies. It also shows the name to know it was sent from the HOA. You may notice when you get an email it has a name it is from. This when you setup the account for "[email protected] should do. It does not have to be a real name of a person.

I have a fake one for spam and offers setup this way for years. No one knows my real name or information.

Unfortuantely, our e-mail blast service does not include an unsubscribe option. A person who doesn't want the e-mails could ask the property manager to remove their e-mail from everything, but then they wouldn't get e-mail notifications regarding compliance and account delinquencies. That is a big part of my concern with excessive e-mails - the inability to self unsubscribe.

I don't see why we need to tell the homeowners about the compliance drive throughs a few days in advance. They should keep yards looking nice 365 days a year, not just 6x a year for the drive by.

We also have a lot of people who have provided work e-mail addresses because they consider HOA e-mails to be especially important. While it's their choice what address to give, I do respect the fact that I don't necessarily want to turn our e-mail blast list into a frequently used distribution list they can't readily unsubscribe to.

We sent out quarterly newsletters with a special mailing for the annual meeting.
Dates for meetings were in the letters (we held monthly board/committee meetings).

If we did this by email - that would be 5 total.

Members and residents can look at the website for additional reminders if desired.

How do you currently notify owners of a board meeting?No, for several reasons. The main reason is that people may clean up any violations for the day of the compliance drive through but then restore the violation subsequently.How do you currently send invoices to owners?

I oppose any additional notice that the bylaws, covenants and state law do not require. You all are unpaid volunteers. You, for one, give a lot of time already to service on the board and as President. Owners need to get away from thinking they can create "Honey-Do" lists, as if they own board members. I think a lot of HOA/COA owner requests are about trying to feel in control of someone or something, especially those requests spouted spontaneously at a board meeting during an open forum segment.

With ND, any notices or info from the PM or Board that benefits the community as a whole should be delivered to the extent that any individual HOA has the capacity to do it. State, gov doc requirements are bare minimums.

For ex., there's no requirement that our personal in-unit water-source heat pumps (HVAC) in our high rise be inspected annually by an outside vendor. But the PM finds us a vendor every year that gives a decent bulk rate if a bunch of us sign up for the service. The PM sends out a memo with contact info for the vendor. This benefits our HOA because it cuts down on the # of leaks & floods from these heat pumps.

There's no requirement to publicize social events, but it benefits the entire community if residents gather, get to know one another, etc. The more ppl. feel connected to other residents, the more likely they are to vote, to abide by HOA rules, to serve on committees, etc.
