Frequently Asked Questions:

1. Why do we need a HOA?

1. By maintaining our neighborhood will keep property values high.
2. To maintain common areas.
3. To preserve standards outlined in the covenants.

 

2. What do the two proposed amendments do?

The first amendment (‘Amended and Restated Restrictive Covenants of Brookhaven North’ or the CCR amendment) consolidates the 3 sets of covenants into one set.  Brookhaven is comprised of 3 plats.  Each plat has its own set of covenants.  By consolidating these 3 sets of covenants into one it established a uniform set of covenants for everyone.

The second amendment (‘Amendment to the Amended and Restated Restrictive Covenants of Brookhaven North’ or the HOA amendment) creates a mandatory homeowners association for the neighborhood, along with a general framework of operate such association.

3. Where can I get a copy of my existing covenants?

1. The Brookhaven website at www.BrookhavenNorth.org, click here to download.
2. All existing covenants are on file with the Oklahoma City County Clerk’s Office in Oklahoma City, OK.

5. What do the voting options mean?

If you agree with consolidating the covenants and creating a mandatory HOA, and want to declare your property, then check boxes 2 and 3 on the ballot.  By declaring your property, you agree to pay dues under the mandatory association.

If you agree with consolidating the covenants and creating a mandatory HOA, and want the amendments effective only on new owners (successors-in-interest), then check boxes 1 and 3 on the ballot.  This vote will not change your dues paying status.

If you agree with consolidating the covenants, but do not agree with creating a mandatory HOA, then check box 3 on the ballot.

6. What if I want to vote ’No’?

To vote no, you need not do anything.  Only those voting in person or by written ballot will be counted ‘yes’ for the amendment.  Anyone not voting, or not showing up to the voting meeting will automatically be counted as a ‘no’ vote.
