AUTUMN LAKE OF PEARLAND

Autumn Lake of Pearland is a tranquil, yet charming community of just over 400 homes that is  accompanied by a lovely park and a heavily stocked lake, nestled behind mature trees and luscious green space. Our lake is surrounded by a long winding jogging trail that leads to our community swimming pools, work out areas and two children's play areas filled with swing sets, spring toys, and a large jungle gym. This lakeside community offers restful scenery for quiet enjoyment and provides all the comforts for a family with an active lifestyle. The lake which is catch and release also includes two stairwells with entrance ramps that lead to two of the more beautiful fishing piers in Pearland Texas, all private to the community. Our two fishing piers are built to code with safety railing, overhead lighting & required signage. The community park provides access to private serene walking paths. The exercise equipment and our jogging trail are great for families who prefer the more active lifestyle, like working out, riding bikes, jogging or even long peaceful walks or family picnics. Our two community pools offer swimming and water volleyball and are separated by a small lighted bridge which allows privacy to those looking to tan or just relax and enjoy the surroundings. For those who prefer wild life and water sports like fishing, kayaking, troller boating and canoeing, Our lake has it all! Our community lake and park are over 50 years old and prior to our community that started in 2001 was a bird sanctuary and the was called the "Sand Pit" that is now filled with large mouth bass, catfish, crappie, carp and sun perch.

With wide-open spaces and room to develop additional amenities Autumn Lake is always investing into the beautification of our community.  We invite you to visit our beautiful community for yourself, walk the trails, rest in a shaded area filled with picnic tables looking over one of the longest freshwater fishing piers in Pearland at 75 feet over the water. Autumn Lake of Pearland has amenities for everyone, so join us and experience our beautiful lakeside views and it's amazing sunsets.

SECURITY SIGNS WE ADDED IN 2022:

As a result of several automobiles being broken into overnight we made a small investment into buying 24 hour surveillance signs & crime watch badge signs for Autumn Lake: Since these signs were added we have not had any of the overnight car break ins that we have had in the past.



Don't forget to stop by the new community swimming pool areas and take a long walk at night under our new commercial lights along the jogging path. Lights stay on until 10:30pm !!!
The new community swimming pool was our capital improvement for 2020! We have added a new capital improvement each of the last 4 years! We are always trying to make our community better every single year! 





Pools, Play Areas, Piers & Park Rules:

POOL AND PARK HOURS ARE 5AM TO 10:00PM (Lights on the trail stay on until 10:30pm so people can walk home after pool closes)

All residents should be aware our our community rules when at the park, using the fishing piers, playground areas or swimming and hanging out at the community swimming pool. 

POOL RULES - MUST BE FOLLOWED : Violating these rules can lead to losing pool privliges or arrest. We simply want everyone to be safe. 

Our Community Safety Goals:

This is our beautiful little community of 413 homes and we are all in this together so please read the safety rules below and teach your kids the safety rules of the community areas so that they are as safe as possible. We want everyone in our community, both young and old to always be able to enjoy all of the Autumn Lake eminities like the pools, gazebos, piers, playareas and simply walk, riding or jogging on the winding trails :)

Large Gatherings in the park must be approved by the Board of Directors: 

By letting the board know there is a party it avoids us having to approach the party to determine if they are Autumn Lake Members. If we expect a huge gathering we need to let members know that parking will be scarce so they can walk and adjust plans if they are used to parking in the small parking area that only holds 12 vehicles presently.

It also gives the board a chance to go over safety rules. Below is a detailed breakdown of most of our community rules within the park areas:

Gatherings / parties with over 10 people must be approved by the board of directors. Load music, running in the pool area, diving into the pool, serving food at the pool, beer-booze-or drugs at the pool are all violations of our pool rules. Large gatherings on weekends where a large group is taking over the pool area is not acceptable or permitted without board approval as the weekends are when the entire community is entitled to use both pools and the seating areas at the pool. Leaving food trash to rot at the pool or diapers or other garbage around the pool is not allowed and clean-up fines or penalties will be applied to members accounts who violate these rules and trash the pool areas. 

THERE IS NO COOKING INSIDE THE POOL AREAS EVER!

Take your trash with you and leave the pool as clean and organized as it was when you arrived. If children (Kids under 18 years of age) or any non members of our community are found at the pool alone they will be asked to leave and if they are breaking our rules the police may be asked to remove or arrest trespassers. Any verbal or physical fighting will result in your removal from the park or pool areas, any vandalism will result in the arrest of whoever damages Autumn Lake Property, anyone caught climbing into the pool or park area will be arrested and NO ONE is allowed to let other people into the pool that do not have official pool access unless they are your guests and you are responsible for anyone you allow into the pool area (Make sure your guests know the rules). The pool cameras and entry fobs will identify all who enter. These rules are made so that everyone of all ages that lives in Autumn Lake can enjoy these areas in peace and feel safe. Our rules concerning food and picking up after yourself help us maintain a clean and healthy environment for our community members as rotten food in trash cans bring ants, roaches, rats and wildlife to the pool area and cause unexceptable odors and is unsightly to others who use the pool areas. No bikes, motorcycles or golf carts or motor vehicles are allowed inside the pool area ever as kids or adults can fall over them and get hurt. Bikes may be chained outside to the fence at least 10 ft from the pool entrance towards the Miller Ranch Rd fence-line as we have a Jungle Gym play area for small children less than 30 ft from the pool entrance. Bikes laying sideways on the ground are a safety hazard for small children and that play area is designed for 1 to 5 year old children. No glass containers or glass of any kind except eye wear is allowed at the pool areas. No weapons are allowed at the pool areas and no pets are allowed at the pool areas. Be safe, be mindful of others and enjoy the pool areas :) 

Our new Inspection & Violation Policy is going to be in place on February 1, 2023: 

The purpose of inspections and the subsequent issuance of a violation letter is to maintain the standards of the community. The Association is tasked with ensuring that all homeowners maintain the exterior of their residence to a minimum standard, as required in the By-Laws. In addition, this helps improve and maintain the appeal of the community. This is particularly important when home owners are selling their homes. Inspections typically will focus on three main areas, fencing, mold and mildew and lawn maintenance.

1 st Notice :
Friendly Reminder- This is a regular letter. Although this letter does not give a specific compliance date, residents are encouraged to remedy the concern(s) within 30 days. Inspections occur every month.

2 nd Notice :
This is a more formal letter which requires that the resident/owner remedy the concern(s) within 10 days.

3 rd Notice :
Final- This letter is sent through regular mail and as a certified letter. This is a final notice and requires that the concern(s) be remedied within 30 days or the board can turn the matter over to the Association attorney. All fees associated with mailings and the attorney will be billed to owner. With board approval, the Association Attorney can file liens and/or foreclosures against the property.

 

LAWN MOWING NEGLECT IS A MUCH HARSHER VIOLATION as we will not allow a members 3 months to mow a lawn. This is where the admin charges and fines can help our community look nice. We will not tolerate yards with foot tall tower grass for weeks and months at a time. The board allowed everyone a break during the heat wave this 2023 season. It's time to get the yards in compliance again. Force mows will be applied charges to homeowner accounts where yards are being neglected and violations are being ignored. Texas Legislature just changed that fine to a flat fine, that used to be a $5 a day fine after 1st notice. We will post those new fines as soon as we have established it in our governing documents after our next open community meeting. Force mows however are still in place.

Also, these violation fees you recieve have been paid for by the association already if you have recieved a notice, you are only reimbursing the association.

Our goal is to keep Lonestar Bookkeepers and Clark and Dominic in place for years to come as these two companies not only save our community money every year, they protect our members from agressive management companies who try to put our members in legal during hardship. They keep our community looking nice. It will take all of us working together to make this work.

VERY IMPORTANT :

All homeowners should have a current email listed at both the community website and the homeowner account pay portal.

 The overall goal is to ensure harmony in the community and to help maintain overall appeal of the community. There are times when errors are made. Please send me an email so that I can quickly remedy any errors. In addition, there are times when events require an extension.

 

Did you get a violation? If you want to talk to someone about it call “VIOLATIONS DIRECTOR” and her name is Tally Jenkins at 832-363-5055.

Did you complete fixing or correcting the violation and you want to send in photos so someone can respond to you that your violation is closed? Tally Jenkins at 832-363-5055 or email to [email protected] 

Did you get a letter stating that you have a balance on your homeowner account?

Call Lone Star Bookkeepers at 832-433-7995 or email [email protected] or better yet respond to the email you recieved to get the quickest response. DO NOT INCLUDE OTHER PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW THE SITUATION.

If you want to talk to someone because you are upset, confused or just have a few questions, please take note:

If you recieved a violation and want to speak to someone about that violation, then you need to respond to the email contact that sent it to you! DO NOT CALL BOARD MEMBERS about your violation. It will only hold up the process. The board of directors were told by our community attorney to hire a 3rd party “VIOLATIONS DIRECTOR” and her name is Tally Jenkins at 832-363-5055 [email protected] (Tally Jenkins - The Clarke-Dominik Group, LLC is also our communities ACC Committee Supervisor and handles all questions you may have on ACC Applications when you are adding something to your property). https://www.theclarkedominikgroup.com/contact.html

As of Jan 2022 Texas Legislature Requires that Board Members have 3rd party firms oversee many of the duties once only performed by board members so that communities are treated fairly and without bias. That is why we also have 5 separate ACC Commitee members in Autumn Lake that review your ACC Applications.

ALL CONTACT INFORMATION FOR VIOLATIONS OF DEED RESTRICTIONS IS EASILY FOUND ON THE COMMUNITY WEBSITE - ACC INSTRUCTIONS AND CONTACT INFORMATION CAN BE EASILY FOUND THERE AS WELL.

Why can I not just call the board members? Several reasons:

The Board of Directors di not drive to your home and see the violation, board members do not know all the types of violations, board members no longer have access to see your violations and board members are just volunteers who have jobs during the days and families to take care of and can not address every question from 413 homes in Autumn Lake. We had Associa for almost 14 years we all had to contact Associa about our violations, now that we are self mamaged we all must contact "Tally Jenkins at 832-363-5055 (Tally Jenkins - The Clarke-Dominik Group, LLChttps://www.theclarkedominikgroup.com/contact.html ).

Again Tally also handles final approval of all ACC Aplications :

2024 ANNUAL ASSESSMENTS UPDATE: LONE STAR BOOKKEEPERS ARE OUR COMMUNITY ACCOUNTANTS ONLY - DO NOT CALL THEM ABOUT VIOLATIONS OR ACC APPLICATIONS PLEASE - IF WE WANT TO KEEP THE SAME COMPANY FOR YEARS TO COME WE NEED TO KEEP THEM HAPPY OR WE WILL HAVE TO CHANGE AGAIN AND AGAIN…

As we head into the 4th quarter of 2023 letters will be sent out with your coupon envelopes for all our members to be reminded to pay the 2024 Annual Assessments of $380. We have been sending these out in October each year to allow our members more time to pay and it allows us to send out 3 monthly reminders (One in October, one in November and one in December). NOTE: 2024 must be paid by January 31, 2024 or penalties and fees will be added to your homeowner accounts. Payplans are always available if that is easier for members who chose that rout.

ANNUAL ASSESSMENT PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS CAN BE FOUND ON THE COMMUNITY WEBSITE EASILY AT:
