If you have not paid or made arrangements with the Treasurer to pay your dues, a lien will be put on your property.

Miscellaneous Items

If you make any external improvements to your house, it must be approved by the Architectural Committee BEFORE construction. The same holds true for the construction of fences. Contact the Architectural Committee and complete the necessary form (available on our Web-site) before any construction commences.

If your mail box is looking a little "old" and "well used", replacement boxes can be purchased from Caporale Post Company at (317)883-3725; they are located in Greenwood.

As per the Covenants, no camper, motor home, truck, trailer, recreational vehicle or boat of any kind may be stored on any lot in open public view.

Some complaints have been received about children and young adults cutting through neighbor's yards. Please make sure your children and young adults know to respect their neighbor's property and walk or play only in yards where permitted.

Please keep your garbage cans, doghouses, etc. behind your house and not in the front.

If your pets are not on your property, then it must be on a leash or you are subject to a fine. This is a county law, not an Association rule. If you own a dog, please be considerate to others and don't allow your dog on other people's property, allow it to bark continuously or bark at late hours.

There have been complaints about loud music disturbing your neighbors. Please think about your neighbors ... just because they don't call you on it, chances are you are still disturbing them. The HOA suggests that you call the police if the noise continues.

Willow Creek is a Neighborhood Watch Community. If you see anything of a suspicious nature, please contact the non-emergency Westfield Police phone number.
