Information for Homeowners

Annual Dues

Welcome to Fairfax Club Estates! In accordance with the Association’s governance documents, the FCE Board of Directors establishes the annual fees required to fund the operations of the Association and paid by homeowners. The FCE HOA fiscal year begins on April 1st and ends March 31st of the subsequent calendar year. Annual assessment amounts are communicated to homeowners no later than 30 days prior to the Association’s annual member’s meeting which is held annually in March. Assessments are invoiced to homeowners semi-annually on April 1st and October 1st of the calendar year. The income from annual dues is used to cover maintenance of pool, common area, tennis, playground, basketball, parking lot, signs, and HOA operating expenses.

Architectural Control

The Architectural Control Committee (ACC) exists in accordance with Article VI of the Fairfax Club Estates (FCE) Covenants and provides oversight and enforcement of the Restrictive Covenants outlined therein.  The enforcement of the Covenants is to safeguard the property values within Fairfax Club Estates. 

Architectural Guidelines provide clarity to architectural interpretations that have occurred over time, allowing for changes in aesthetic sense and building materials since Fairfax Club Estates was established.

An Architectural Control file exists for each lot in Fairfax Club Estates and is maintained by the ACC.  This file records approved changes made to a property in FCE dating back to when FCE was established.

If a homeowner is considering exterior changes to their house or property, it is best to consult the Architectural Guidelines first to ensure potential changes are in compliance with the FCE Covenants.  Changes to the exterior of the house or property require ACC approval BEFORE any construction begins. 

It is important to note that a County Permit for a construction project does not constitute FCE ACC approval of the project. This is a common error.

Prior to selling a property in FCE, a resale inspection is conducted by the ACC to ensure the property matches FCE documentation.  A closing will not occur without this inspection. The best way to ensure a smooth closing is to record changes to the property by complying with the Architectural Request procedure prior to initiating a change.
