Governing Policies

From the HOA Board to the Homestead in the Willows Community:

Having written policies in place helps ensure that with each HOA Board, the Association’s business of maintaining our community’s property and assets is conducted in a consistent, equitable, and transparent manner. The following is a brief listing of our current policies adopted by the Board with the full policy printed afterward.
