2024 Blue Lake Estates Annual HOA Meeting

Host Greeting Guests

We Need Your Vote!

We always need you...but we REALLY need you.

We noticed there was some confusion regarding what was up to be voted on during the 2023 Annual HOA meeting. For that reason, we have pushed the vote regarding Short Term Rentals to the 2024 HOA Annual meeting.

 

Every year we have our Annual HOA Meeting. These meetings are important as it is the ONLY time we (the board and the residents) are able to cast a vote regarding any changes to the covenants an bylaws.

Well, not only is this the only time you can vote, but it's the only time where we need 75% of the community to attend (either in  person or proxy) to be able to have a quorum to vote. 

We will be voting about rental/leasing restrictions, including the ability to utilize your property for short-term rentals (i.e. Airbnb, Vrbo, etc.).  You can read more below. Below you can access the documents that will be mailed 30 days before the 2024 annual meeting.

 

If you are unable to attend, PLEASE fill out the proxy form (at bottom of this webpage), and either choose a neighbor, who MUST attend the meeting, or email it back to BCM Services at info@bcmservices.net.
