What is the Sweetwater Glen Homeowners Association?

​The Sweetwater Glen Homeowners Association is a non-profit corporation designated by the CCR’s (Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions) to maintain and enforce the Articles of Incorporation and the Rules and Regulations of the Sweetwater Glen Community. In short, when Sweetwater Glen was established, part of the incorporation included the declaration of certain rules and regulations to which all homeowners and occupants must adhere.

The Home Owners Association is made up of all homeowners in Sweetwater Glen.

Upon purchase of property in Sweetwater Glen, all homeowners have agreed to the terms of the CCR’s and are beholden to both the restrictions and enforcement of the restrictions. Homeowners are responsible for ensuring rental properties within Sweetwater Glen also adhere to the CCR’s.

The Association is responsible for the legal and fiscal well being of the neighborhood, as well as maintenance and improvements in common areas such as our parks, trails and private drives.

Homeowners are encouraged to participate in committees, events and HOA Board meetings as well as participate in elections or voting.

What is the HOA Board (Sweetwater Glen Association Board)?

​The Sweetwater Glen Association Board is a body of three elected representatives of the Sweetwater Glen Association. The Board members serve in a volunteer capacity for terms lasting 1-3 years.

The Board meets quarterly and annually, with occasional off-calendar meetings for urgent matters requiring a quick decision or vote. All meetings will be announced to the general Homeowners Association via email, the Sweetwater Glen HOA website and some links in social media.

The responsibilities of the Board include:

How Are Board Members Selected?

Board members are either nominated from within the community or self-nominated. Elections are held for open positions  each year at the annual meeting, which usually occurs in June. New board members begin their term immediately after elections.

Does the HOA Board have officers?

The HOA Board has elected positions serving 1-3 year terms, with the opportunity for at least one of these positions to be renewed each year. Voting occurs at the “annual” meeting.

The three positions are: President, Secretary and Treasurer

What is an Association Management Company?

​In order to provide day-to-day oversight of the neighborhood and ensure we can benefit from the experience of professionals who oversee multiple communities, Sweetwater Glen HOA employs a company to manage a range of issues impacting Sweetwater Glen. Currently, we are served by PS Property Management, a local Austin-based company.

A major role of the association management company is to provide a neutral, third-party for reporting of violations, neighbor disputes, or issues within the community. Contacting the management company provides homeowners with documentation of issues and a path to resolution.

The association management company is *not* a concierge service for Sweetwater Glen.
​
Identifying issues and reporting them does not mean that the association management company will be able to immediately address any given issue. Many factors may impact whether a request to PS Property Management can be fulfilled. However, PS Property Management can raise issues with the HOA Board for consideration and to determine a path of action.

In addition, the association management company provides service at the direction of the HOA Board. These services include:
