Summer ridge hoa Violation Guidance
EMB Property Management, with support from the ACC and Board, is responsible for administering the Covenant, Codes, and Restrictions (CC&R). This includes reviewing all proposed changes to the exterior of a Summer Ridge homeowners’ property and reviewing properties for violations.
The ACC aims to have a neighborhood that shows it is uniform and maintained and that homeowners care about their properties.
To ensure that homes present themselves as uniform and maintained, the ACC has created a set of attributes that we use to grade homes as we evaluate the neighborhood. This set of attributes is not limited to but is the focus of our evaluations.

Lawns can go dormant during the summer months to conserve water if the owner chooses.
