Harvest Junction Village is a new community of 278 homes in the City of Longmont. Our last home was built in 2022. We enjoy beautiful views of the Rockies to the west, a long walking trail along Left Hand Creek, and are centrally located near the Longmont Recreation Center, parks, tennis courts, and shopping. We have frequent community-wide social events such as movies in the park, bike parades, BBQs, and chilli cookoffs, and we’re just getting started.
Our Homeowners Association
Mission
A mission statement defines our purpose, primary objectives, and answers the question: What does the HOA do?
Our mission is to be an active, hands-on Board that not only oversees the routine duties of the HOA with professional rigor but is also proactive in establishing, building, and supporting our community to be a place that people love to live. As such, our duties can be divided into two parts:
Part 1: Typical Duties of an HOA Board
- Oversee the management company and business operations: corporate governance, financials & reserves, insurance, vendors / contractors, property maintenance, document retention, rules enforcement, communication, support, etc.
- Maintain common areas: landscaping, irrigation, playground, and amenities.
- Maintain and enforce regulations & architectural guidelines.
- Carefully balance cost vs. benefit to provide the best value to homeowners: budgeting, HOA fees, and services provided.
- Provide prompt review, feedback, and approvals on homeowner’s requests for improvements.
Part 2: Going Above and Beyond
- Establish and promote committees and activities to support the community.
- Plan annual HOA goals each year.
- Proactively provide helpful tips and advice to homeowners on relevant topics.
- Evaluate homeowner satisfaction with the management company, HOA, and community at-large (CSAT) for continual improvement.
