The Board of Directors held two forum meetings in August to discuss the proposed covenant change regarding HOA annual assessments, as found in paragraphs 9.D. and 9.E. in the covenants of both Kings Deer Classic and Kings Deer Highlands. The presentations included the challenges that the community faces with escalating operating costs having the revenue from the annual assessments permanently capped at $300. An overview of current and projected costs, including the requirement to maintain an adequate reserve fund. The information session also discussed the proposed increase, its implications, and was an open dialogue with community members. The board believes that collaboration and transparency in this process are essential.

The August 6 and August 29 meeting slides are available for download on the owners' login section of the HOA website. Look in the Library, then under BOD minutes. You may also send an email to the HOA office to be sent a PDF of the August 29 meeting, including FAQs. This is the same PDF that is available for viewing on the electronic ballot.

We need your Ballot!

The ballots for the Board of Directors and the Covenant Change for Assessments were mailed out by both email and regular USPS mail on September 6 to all owners at their address of record with the HOA. The mailing is clearly marked and includes an instructional letter, a ballot for covenant change on the assessments, a ballot for board director positions, a candidate summary, a proxy form, and a return envelope.

This year, we added the option to vote electronically using Vote HOA Now, a recognized leader in electronic HOA voting. The Board encourages owners to use the electronic voting system. This is a safe and efficient method to increase participation while saving both time and money. Each property with an email on file will receive an email invitation to vote from the association voting site. Please be sure to add this email address (kingsdeer@ivotehoa.com) to your safe sender list/address book so you can participate in the vote.

If we do not have your email address on file or you do not receive the email by 9/6/2024 (or require a paper ballot), you can still vote online. Please contact the office at admin@kingsdeer.org or go to the web address listed below and click Contact Us to get your code.

At their February 20 board meeting, the Kings Deer Board of Directors unanimous approved the following two secure mailbox options for owners in Highlands:

1. 1. Mail Boss 7506 Mail Manager Curbside Locking Mailbox, Black. The Mail Boss 7121 Black In-Ground Mounting Post must be used with this mailbox option.
   2. Architectural Mailboxes 6300B-10 Oasis 360 Locking Parcel Mailbox, Extra Large, Black. Must be used with the Architectural Mailboxes 7516B-10 Pacifica in-Ground Steel Mailbox Post, Black.

Since the posts are different, the current post will not be able to be used with the new mailboxes. These newly approved secure mailboxes are readily available from several retailers including the local Home Depot and on-line retail Amazon. The board reminds owners that only post style mailboxes can be used in King’s Deer Highlands. Owners in King’s Deer Classic may use the mailbox of their choosing but must be mounted in the ACC approved mailbox monument. The existing Brandon Industries Estate Mailbox will continue to be an option for owners in King’s Deer Highlands and is available from the HOA office.  If you are unsure if you live in Highlands or Classic or have other questions, please contact the HOA office (include your address) at admin@kingsdeer.org
