We are a small subdivision (22 homes) with no hoa. We have Restrictive Covenants put in place and enforced by the developer.
We received a letter from the developer stating that they no longer own any vacant lots and would no longer be responsible for the utility bill (entrance lights) or for common area maintenance.
The letter also states that the RC's will remain in effect.
There is no provision in the RC's pertaining to hoa's. We consulted a lawyer who told us that we could form a volunteer assoc. and collect dues for utilities etc. but that we could not enforce or change any existing RC's. We have a meeting scheduled to discuss all this. Does all of this sound right to you? Thanks for your help.

Something doesn't make sense to me. Who is going to enforce the Restrictive Covenants when the Developer is gone? What state is this? Do you have a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions? If so is there a provision for manditory assessments? If not, and it is voluntary then there is no assured method to pay for anything.
