Realtor Information/FAQ's


Modifications and Non-Compliance
It is important to let your clients know that Sterling on the Lake Homeowners Association, Inc. is a mandatory membership community with covenants that are enforced. This means HOA authorization is required for any modifications/changes to the exterior of the home or lot (front and back). This includes, but is not limited to, items such as fencing (only certain types available), roofing, tree removal/replacement, window installations, painting, etc.  
 
It also means homes should be kept to the community standard and regular compliance drives are completed by our management team. A copy of the covenants, bylaws, rules and regulations, and design guidelines are available for homeowners to view on this website. Please contact our community management team for further clarification.
