What is the Allard Homeowners' Association (AHOA)?
The AHOA is a not-for-profit company governed by the Societies Act. It was created to ensure that certain features and amenities of a community are maintained and managed for the long-term use and enjoyment of its member residents. The AHOA may set a desired course for the use of common areas, such as the community’s landscaped areas and helps ensure their financial sustainability over time.
Do all Allard Heritage Valley homeowners pay an AHOA Fee?
Yes. All properties that have the legal encumbrance registered on their land title are part of the HOA and are mandated to pay fees. Please see the Maps and Guidelines section for the community boundaries.
A home within the community boundaries should have a legal encumbrance listed within its Land Title Certificate. A current copy of your certificate can be order through a registry agent.
Why? What benefits do you receive by paying the annual AHOA Fee?
Residents benefit by having certain amenities and assets in their community scheduled for enhanced maintenance. The list can be extensive and not limited to items such as the beautification of the front entry feature – flowers, additional landscaping, holiday lights, playground maintenance and community events and the maintenance of the Allard HOA community website.
All of these items serve to set Allard Heritage Valley apart from other communities that do not have the ability to maintain open space to a higher standard.
Doesn't the City maintain all of the common space?
Yes, the City owns and is to maintain common or park space (know as Municipal Reserve), however their program is large and diligence to your community may not be to the expectation of Allard residents.
Throughout the history of Allard’s development, additional maintenance has been provided to compliment the City’s efforts. Allard HOA will have the opportunity to do the same moving forward.
How is the AHOA governed?
The AHOA, including the features and amenities, is governed by the Societies Act and bylaws, and administered by a Board of Directors which will be made up of a number of selected residents and managed by MLC Group under the management agreement included in the information provided by your lawyer.
How many homes are there in Allard?
There are approximately 1600 single family homes and 300 condominium units.
How are the Board of Directors elected and how long is the term of office?
The 7 members on the Board of Directors are elected annually at the Annual General Meeting.
Each board member must be a member in good standing at the time of his/her election and throughout the term of office. Membership on the board is strictly a volunteer position.
