How do I join the Salisbury Homeowner's Association?When a new resident moves into the neighborhood, a "street coordinator" delivers a welcome packet to their home. Inside the packet is a Resident Data Form (RDF) that we ask residents to fill out and send to the Salisbury Homeowner's Association (P.O. Box 1024, Midlothian, VA 23113). With this form we can update our database with the new resident's address and family information (this information can be included in our Neighborhood directory). If you are a new resident and have not received your welcome packet, please contact the Homeowner's Association and we will be sure to have one delivered to your home. Click here to obtain a PDF version of the Resident Data Form If you have difficulty opening this file, please check to make sure you have the latest version of the Acrobat Reader. In order to get the reader just click: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html and follow the instructions to download the reader (it's free!). Back to TopHow much are my annual dues?Annual dues are $100. Annual dues statements are sent to all homeowners in January of each year. New residents moving into the neighborhood during the first six calendar months of the year are asked to pay the full dues, after the first six months residents are asked to pay half the annual dues amount. Back to Top
What are my dues used for?While most of our residents are familiar with the Salisbury Homeowners Association Directory and the Salisbury Courier, the association is involved in other neighborhood projects as well. Payment of your annual dues helps your Homeowners’ Association (SHOA) to enhance the entrances, create and distribute the ‘Courier’ (newsletter), hold community events such as the summer concert series, make improvements to the neighborhood such as stop sign replacements, and finally to establish a reserve fund for future maintenance and development possibilities. Additionally, the association is responsible for maintenance of common areas, which include grass cutting and trash pickup along both Winterfield and Salisbury Roads. These improvements and maintenance tasks are being funded by Homeowners Dues. Back to TopLake Salisbury is not part of the Salisbury
