The Association is not responsible for the individual mailbox locks or keys. Please contact your local locksmith to obtain a new lock and/or key for your mailbox.

“A basal shoot, root sprout, adventitious shoot, water sprout or sucker is a shoot or cane which grows from a bud at the base of a tree or shrub or from its roots. This shoot then becomes, or takes the form of, a singular plant. A plant that produces suckers is referred to as surculose. Root suckers may emerge some distance from the originating plant such as in Rhus spp, some Prunus species and Embothrium species. Suckers also may arise from the stumps of trees that have been cut down. Suckers arising from an unwanted tree stump can be controlled with herbicides such as glyphosate. This kills the entire plant, including suckers and roots”.

The inspector may cite you for lack of “lawn maintenance”. Often times this verbiage pertains to a dying lawn. To correct the issue we suggest the following:
- Overseeding your lawn
- Lay down sod
- Change the landscaping – ie. grass to gravel
To change your lawn from grass to gravel, please submit an Architectural Request form.
The homeowner must submit a request in writing. You can email the request to [email protected].
- Mail a check or money order to PO Box 52507, Phoenix, AZ 85072-2507. Be sure to write your account number on your check/money order.
- To make an online payment, go to your Resident Portal.
