BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Association is governed by a five-member Board of Directors(BOD),elected by members of the community during the annual election process. The Board of Directors for Waters Landing typically holds monthly meetings on the third Wednesday of each month at 7 p.m. in the Community Center. At the end of each meeting is an “open forum” for residents to come address the Board. Residents are encouraged to attend and take part in the happenings of their community. Residents are also encouraged to contact the Association office with questions. Meetings are announced on the Association website. Please check the Association website for any changes to the meeting schedule. Current Board member listing can be found by here https://waterslanding.org/board-of-directors.
ASSOCIATION MANAGEMENT
The Board employs an on-site staff for administration and property management to provide day-to day management and operation of the community. There is also an off-site financial contractor for accounting and financial management services.

CONDOMINIUMS

Please contact your condominium management company for any questions regarding day to day operations and management of your condominium, which includes: parking, towing, snow removal, maintenance in or around buildings, mailboxes, electrical issues, smoke detectors, noise complaints, neighbor disputes, etc.
ASSESSMENTS/MONTHLY HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION PAYMENT
Members are assessed on a neighborhood-by-neighborhood budgetary basis. It is the legal obligation of each homeowner to pay an annual assessment fee to the Association. After settlement on your home you should receive a set of payment coupons and envelopes from First Service Residential to make the assessment in monthly installments. Assessments are due on the first (1st) day of each month and are considered delinquent if not received by the fifteenth (15th) day of the month. Delinquent accounts will be assessed a late fee of $15.00 each month. Remedies for continued non-payment of assessments include placement of liens and subsequent foreclosure of the property, as outlined in Policy Resolution 2012-02 Collection of Assessments included in your homeowner’s information packet.
ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL
Exterior changes or additions to your home or property – with very few exceptions – require the prior and written approval of the Association’s Architectural and Environmental Review Committee (AERC). As part of your new homeowner’s disclosure packet you should have received a copy of the Architectural Guidelines. Forms are available at the staff office or on the Association website. For more information, please click here https://waterslanding.org/architectural-aerc.
The Architectural committee typically meets monthly, on the 1st Monday at 7 p.m. Holidays may impact schedule.
Before doing any digging for any projects, you must call Miss Utility to have the area marked for underground utilities. Miss Utility can be reached by dialing 811 or at www.missutility.net.
NEWSLETTER & OTHER COMMUNICATIONS
Waters Landing communications will come through postal mail, door hangers & through our electronic newsletter, The NewsAshore. Please register at www.waterslanding.org to receive The NewsAshore. Information can also be obtained through our Association website.
NEIGHBORHOOD ADVISORY COUNCIL (NAC)
Each neighborhood has the opportunity to operate a Neighborhood Advisory Council (NAC) that deals with your particular neighborhood’s issues and communicates them to the Board of Directors and Staff. Not all neighborhoods have active NAC’s but they are easily revived when needed. It’s a good way to be a part of the community and meet your neighbors.
NON-RESIDENT OWNERS
Unit Owners who live somewhere other than the unit in Waters Landing are known as Non-Resident Owners (NRO’s). Non-Resident Owners are required to provide the Association with a copy of any leases with tenant information and the owners current mailing address. Very often tenants are not fully informed by owners of their responsibilities. Owners remain responsible for the actions of their tenants, so it is important that we are able to contact you when necessary. Rental properties are required to register with Montgomery County.
TRASH COLLECTION
Single family and townhouse trash collection is included in their monthly assessment. Curbside pickup of closed/covered “normal” trash is done twice a week, on Mondays and Thursdays. Trash should be properly secured and placed out no earlier than after dark the night prior to pick-up or no later than 7 a.m. the morning of pick up. Trash should not be left out at any other time.
The company under contract is J&J Inc. Trouble calls or arrangements for a special pickup of unusual items may be arranged by calling J&J at 1-800-465-2350.
