Q - The speed limit in the townhomes is 15 mph but I am always in a hurry, is it okay if I speed?
A - There are many children that live in this area and we urge all residents to please obey the speed limit. You never know when a child is outside and ready to wander into the street. For their safety, please drive slowly.

Q - Is it okay for me to attach decorations or other items to the outside of my home?
A - Many of us have made holes in the stucco in order to attach something to the outside of our homes. Although it looks nice, it does damage the stucco. Any problems with the stucco as a result of these holes, must be taken care of by the home owner. I no longer fits in the category of the HOA’s responsibilty because it is considered neglect.
Top
Q - My neighbor plays their music very loud and it shakes the walls in my house. What can I do?
A - You can direct your neighbors to this page and let them read the noise ordinance for Lehi City and the Davencourt townhomes bylaws.
Top
Q - Our dumpsters are always a mess and there is garbage everywhere. Doesn’t the garbage man clean everything up?
A - No. We pay the garbage company to come and empty the dumpsters. He does not pick up garbage that is left on the ground by the residents. The HOA sometimes will pay someone to keep that area clean. That money comes out of each home owners monthly HOA dues. The messier the dumpster area, the more time and money it will cost the home owners and if it gets too bad, the HOA dues will have to go up.
Top
Q - What will happen if I don’t pay my HOA dues?
A - Here is our policy for late dues:
Davencourt at Pilgrim’s Landing
Late HOA Dues Policy
When you receive a statement from the bookkeeper, that is your notice that you are behind in your dues and need to get caught up immediately. You will have until the 16th of the month to send in your full payment. If you owe more than $200 and would like to make payment arrangements, you must contact our bookkeeper, LaDonna Peterman. Please plan on paying an additional $50 - $90 each month to get caught up as soon as possible.
If you do not make a payment in full, or make payment arrangements by the 16th of the month, your internet and satellight TV services will be disconnected. The dues must be collected in full, along with an additional fee of $25.00 to be paid to the HOA. You will also be subject to paying a reconnection fee of $75 to Digis. Digis requires payment to be made in the form of a credit card or cash only. At that time, your services will be reconnected.
Anyone not making efforts to get caught up on their dues will be turned over to an attorney and be subject to a lien on their property. You will be responsible for the attorney’s fees as well. See section 13.13 of the by-laws. Note attorney’s fees double in court.
If you have any further questions about this policy you may contact our management company or HOA President. Goto the Davencourt Directory.
