Frequently Asked Questions

Associations and Assessments

  1. Did I elect to become a member of the homeowner’s association? No.  Membership is not optional; you accepted it when you accepted the deed to your property in Lincoln Green East.  Membership passes to the next owner when the property is sold.
  2. What are Deed Restrictions?  All properties in the Lincoln Green East C.I.A. are subject to rules which place restrictions on the deed to your property.  The rules, “deed restrictions” were designed by the Developer to preserve property values and to protect and maintain the quality of the neighborhood.  This complete document is available for review and download on this website.
  3. What are the assessments used for?  Since Lincoln Green East is in an unincorporated area, there wouldn’t be any municipal services or amenities without collection of an annual assessment from each owner.  A copy of the Association’s current operating budget is available for review on this website.
  4. How do I pay my assessments online? If you would like to pay by eCheck or with a credit or debit card, contact UPMC Resident Services at 1-855-518-0670.
  5. I don’t use the recreation center, swimming pool, or basketball/tennis courts.  Do I still have to pay assessments? Yes.  The facilities and amenities in your area do positively affect the property values for the homes in the community, whether you use them or not.  The CC&Rs stipulate that no owner may escape supporting financial responsibility for the Association’s services or facilities due to his non-use of those services or facilities.
  6. Can assessments be paid over time?  Yes. You may request a payment plan. While Association approval of and conformance with, such a plan will protect you from collection measures, please remember that interest will continue to accrue on the unpaid balance.
  7. How many homes do we have in the community? 603

Property Rights

  1. Who is responsible for repairing the fence between my house and my neighbor’s house?  Once a fence is installed on or near the property line, it becomes jointly owned. It doesn’t matter which side the pickets are on, or who actually paid for the fence; it becomes the joint responsibility of the adjacent owners.
  2. There is an easement on my property.  Is it my responsibility?  Yes.  An easement is an area typically dedicated to current or future use by utilities.  While they guarantee ingress and egress by the utility company, they are still part of your property, and they must be maintained by the owner of the property without restricting availability to the utility company.
