Dear Stonegate Residents,
Planned community development living is a big adjustment of life-style from single family residence. There are restrictions and commitments required by the covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&R’s), and rules and regulations of the Homeowners Association, all of which are designed to protect your property value as an owner and make living more comfortable for everyone within Stonegate. Each owner has a vested interest in Stonegate. Please give these areas the same pride of ownership and care which you and your family give your home.
Owners are responsible for making tenants aware of all rules and regulations and will be held accountable. Any penalty assessments levied will be directed to the owner of record.
We also recommend referencing your printed hard copy for full and thorough explanations. We thank you in advanced for your cooperation.
