What can you tell me about trash? When is pickup? Where can I get cans? Do I need to separate my lawn waste? Does this area support recycling?
Trash pickup is Monday morning. You may set your trash cans out after 6pm Sunday evening and should have them off the street by 6pm Monday afternoon.
Trash cans may not be stored anywhere visible to your neighbors or the street.
Trash pickup is managed by Waste Management. If you have any questions, you may reach them at 866-570-470 or visit the Waste Management website.

What can you tell me about assessments? How much are they? How often do we pay? What are they used for?
As of 2015, assessments are $500 per year.
Assessments are sent twice a year, on November 1st and April 1st and are due within 30 days. Unpaid assessments accrue a $2/month fine.
The Board uses income from assessments to fund the regular operation and maintenance of the neighborhood. The majority of our annual budget is used for landscaping and maintenance of the commons areas. We also try to set aside some funds for unexpected expenses.
Do I need approval to make any changes to my home or property?
You need the Board’s approval to make any changes to the outside of your home and property, including your landscaping. The review process is straightforward and guided by the Covenants.
Who do I contact to make changes to my property?
Send an email to board@splitrail-farm.com with information about the changes you are considering making to your home or property. Someone will respond as soon as possible with information about your next steps.
