Does the POA now have a quota of violations to fine each month?

Hot Springs Village POA planning and inspections department will be taking a proactive approach regarding violations, including parking and storage of recreational vehicles on streets in front of residences and property maintenance issues for village residential properties. This is necessary to maintain the aesthetics of the village and neighborhood preservation.

The planning and inspections department has divided the village into five zones and have started with the West end. The inspectors have been given an organized plan to cover every street in Hot Springs Village.

The inspectors will be looking for:

1) Parking violations such as boats/trailers, utility trailers, motor homes, abandoned vehicles, and inoperable motor vehicles.

2) Yard maintenance items: grass, weeds, or plant growth over 10 inches tall.

3) Exterior home maintenance items: hazardous conditions, building materials other than active construction sites, appliances, household items, rubbish, garbage, safety violations such as fire hazards and rotting wooden decks.

4) Exterior surfaces: including detached garages, fences, seawalls, decks and walls not being maintained.

If a violation is found the inspector will leave a notification advising of the issue and requesting compliance within 72 hours.
