HOA Frequently Asked Q's

Dues can be paid in several ways.

 

·  Checking account/ credit card/ debit card payment via www.TowneProperties.com or you may access the link on the Thornwilde community Home page at "Pay My Assessment" link  (additional fee applies).

 

 

 

The HOA annual assessment is $600 ($300 due on January 1, $300 due on July 1).

The HOA Board approved an annual dues increase of $50.00 taking effect January 1, 2026. This increased HOA dues from $550 to $600 annually. This is the first increase in 4 years. Inflation in services, cost of maintenance, and insurance over the last 4 years has far exceeded the approximately 9% increase in dues. Dues for Thornwilde are still very reasonable compared to other neighborhoods that have similar ammenities and expansive common areas. 

At the March 30, 2022 annual meeting the board amended the bylaws via a quorum vote to allow for compensation to the volunteer board. The compensation is to waive the yearly assessment rate for those active board members serving within that year (or at a prorated amount for months served).

If you have an issue/complaint regarding another owner or resident inside the community, you will need to contact the Property Manager - Towne Properties by completing the Contact form on the HOA website or contact them by email: RachaelNoonan@TowneProperties.com or phone: 859-291-5858. Pictures are also preferred to substantiate your complaint. 

A homeowner violation will be communicated through a series of written, emailed, and mailed messages. Generally, a homeowner will have 15 business days to remedy the violation. If it isn’t fixed, the process escalates with additional warning notices and penalties (fines) assessed by the HOA. If the fine isn’t paid and the violation isn’t fixed, a lien will be placed on the property. Homeowners with questions about the process on what they need to do to remedy their violation should contact the Towne Properties Property Manager at 859-291-5858 or by email RachaelNoonan@TowneProperties.com.

If you plan to make any changes to the exterior of your house in Thornwilde, you must fill out an improvement application. The application can be completed online and you can upload any accompanying documents (pictures, renderings, etc.) at the same time. Visit our website at www.thornwildeHOA.com and click on Improvement Application. There is a one-time fee of $25.00 for each improvement application submitted. 

 

Examples of updates for which you should complete an application: fence, pool, deck, patio, pergola, covered deck, room addition, extended driveway or sidewalk, or any other improvement that makes significant changes to the exterior of your house.

 

 

The Thornwilde HOA has the right to ask you to remove whatever work you had completed, especially if it doesn’t fit within the guidelines outlined in your covenants. After this point additional warnings and penalties (fines) would be assessed for non-compliance. We highly recommend every homeowner submit the appropriate paperwork so this unfortunate outcome doesn’t have to be considered.

 

Before you install a fence you should complete an improvement application. In general, 3 post wood fences or aluminum fences are permitted. For aluminum fences, additional information will be requested other than the Improvement Application. They should begin at the back corners of your home. If you have a corner lot, there are additional rules related to the side set back from the street.
