Community Intervention Program

Purpose

To preserve Sun City aesthetics as well as property values by ensuring that individual homes and/or their grounds that have fallen into a state of disrepair are cleaned up/repaired. 

Program

As part of SCHOA’s commitment to Sun City and as articulated in the SCHOA Vision Statement, SCHOA is dedicated to “proactively providing for the well-being of Sun City and its homeowners…and consistently increasing the value and prosperity of the community it serves.”  In accordance with the CC&Rs, to deliver this Vision, SCHOA has the right to take action to preserve the aesthetics of all Sun City homes and their grounds. 

If a home and/or its grounds are fairly and objectively determined by SCHOA Compliance to have degraded to a condition wherein they are in violation of the CC&Rs, SCHOA will notify the home owner of these violations and request that the property be brought into compliance.  If a home owner fails to correct the violations, SCHOA is authorized by the CC&RS to bring a property into compliance by cleaning it up and/or making repairs.  In such cases, SCHOA is further authorized to bill the home owner for the cost of repairs/clean-up and, in the event that the home owner fails to pay his/her bill, to take legal action including placing a lien on the property.

Importantly, in the vast majority of cases, home owners comply, so SCHOA neither needs to clean up properties nor pursue legal recourse.  Further, home owners have the opportunity to appear before the Compliance Committee to plead their cases prior to SCHOA action.  It is only as a last resort that SCHOA hires independent service providers to bring a property into compliance, but SCHOA is morally and legally bound to act in these exceptional instances for the sake of the entire community and on behalf of all Sun City residents.

For home owners who desire to comply but are financially challenged to do so, SCHOA has created the Financial Assistance Program (FAP).  To learn more about FAP and whether or not you qualify, please click here.
