Governance

Upon purchase of property in Lookout Highlands, owners automatically become members of the association with the right to vote and the responsibility for paying annual assessments on their property, allowing the organization to maintain the infrastructure (roads, gates, signage) and amenities (lakes, trails, pavilion). 
All owners are bound by the Covenants & Restrictions and Bylaws of the Association and use of the property is subject to certain limitations, including:

  • no short-term or vacation rentals are allowed
  • no living accommodations separate from the house, such as a guest house or garage apartment, can be built
  • nothing can be constructed on a lot before a house is built
  • camping on an undeveloped lot, with a tent, recreational vehicle or motor home, is limited (Temporary Accommodations Policy)

A 7-member Board of Directors is elected by owners at the annual meeting each fall.  The Board conducts the business of the association and appoints committees to handle specific responsibilities.  The Board and all committee members volunteer their time and talents to help maintain the beauty and safety of the community. 

In spring 2019, the Board commissioned a professional Reserve Study to evaluate the property’s physical components and analyze its reserve funds.  This Replacement Reserve Study will serve as a business plan for maintenance of the association’s assets and management of replacement reserves.
