FAQ

 

 

An important element to preserving and enhancing the values of the properties in the development is the appearance of each individual property. If you live in the neighborhood, your property should be maintained with periodic painting and fence maintenance. The yard area should be manicured and free of rubbish or debris. Trailers, boats, RV’s, barbecue grills, work/construction equipment, etc. should not be stored on the property such that they are visible from the street or adjoining properties.

Trash cans should be stored out-of-view from the street during non-trash pick up days.

The responsibility to pay the periodic assessment lies with the property owner. You should receive a bill to remind you to pay your assessment, but the ultimate responsibility to pay the assessment falls with the property owner. Property owners that don’t pay are subject to enforcement action which includes the filing of a lien and, ultimately, foreclosure.

Travis Country West has 226 houses.

Property owners are sent written notice of the annual meeting. The Board of Directors are elected at the annual meeting by the Association members. The Board members are volunteer homeowners and serve the Association without pay.

After the annual meeting, the Board of Directors convenes its first meeting at which the officers (President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer) are elected. Throughout the year, the Board of Directors holds periodic meetings. 

The Board enters into contracts with various service vendors to manage and operate the facilities of the Association, as well as assist in the overall management of the Association. It is common for the board to hire a professional property manager, a landscaping company, a pool maintenance company, an extermination company, etc. to provide routine management and maintenance services. TCW uses Ascension Property Management.  You can contact them by email at admin@ascensionpm.com or call 512-255-1671.

The periodic dues assessment pays for the various service contracts, insurance coverage, property taxes, and other administrative costs of operating the association. Please refer to the TCW financial statements found in the Documents page of our website.

The purpose of the Association is to protect and enhance property values through:

•  Maintenance and improvement of the common areas
• Enforcement of deed restrictions and community rules.

Property owners in the development are subject to mandatory membership in the Association.  In other words, once you purchase a property you are an association member.

New developments are controlled by the developer. Initially, the board of directors is comprised of developer representatives. After a certain percentage of the development has been sold to homeowners, the control of the association is transferred to a board of directors comprised of homeowners. As of 2006, the Travis Country West Home Owners Association control has been transferred to the homeowners.
