Welcome to the Cottonwood Homeowners Association!
In May 2016, the Centex home builders for the Cottonwood community, transferred HOA responsibility to the community. A vote was taken during the Board meeting and new Board directors were elected. Our Board consists of 5 Directors, all members of the community. Those that have had an HOA in the past understand what it is for, and how it works. Those new to an HOA may not understand the purpose for an HOA. This site will help empower the community with information, and it is up to the community to come together and vote. Our HOA board consists of 5 positions, three 2-year terms, and two 1-year term positions.

Remember though, an HOA is only as good as the community that supports it.
Centex builders had selected a management group to help manage the HOA, so the builder can focus on the houses. Is there a need for a management group, that goes against the HOA Operating Expenses (OpEx)? This can be a touchy subject to some because some management groups do better than others. While Centex was president of the HOA, they allowed the management group to drive changes, and enforcements for the community… and in most aspects the management group failed to deliver. Though the same management group has been used by the HOA as of Board selection, the representative has changed, and communication has started to improve. There are reasons to have a management group involved, especially to a new HOA board. Toward the end of 2019 the HOA voted on and changed Management companies from PMG to Montage Community Services. This was for the benefit of the community as PMG did not deliver, and changed managers too often. Positive things come from having a management company involved, outside of legal and funds handling. Here are some reasons that management groups help:
