Greetings CSQ Homeowners,

It is with great pleasure that the CSQ HOA Board of Directors announces that we will have a new property management company effective 6/1/2022. We spent several months looking at several local and out of state property management companies, comparing services and rates, and are excited to be working with Diamond Property Management out of Poquoson, VA. Gail Blecher will be our property manager with Diamond Property. We will be working closely with her to ensure all of our current contracts (landscaping, BMP pond management, trash) are being upheld, as well as fix any issues that may arise. PMA will continue to be responsible for all homeowner dues and fees until 5/31/2022, so please contact them via phone or their website to make payments. We will have our annual board meeting in JUNE 2022, as the transition from PMA to Diamond Property Management will be on 6/1/2022. Our current plan is to have the meeting at the CSQ Playground. We welcome all homeowners to attend and get to know Diamond Property Management, the CSQ Board of Directors, and ask any questions/voice any concerns that you have as a homeowner. The CSQ Board of Directors is looking forward to continued change within our neighborhood and working together to make Courthouse Square a great place to live!

Thank you for the continued support, Your CSQ Board of Directors: Jeri-Lee Russ, KC Smith, Amber Widmer, John Winter, Hunter Lipscomb, and Mindy Kadel

We currently have 3 director vacancies. If you are interested in becoming a board director, please submit this Board Interest Form through the Contact Us page. We look forward to having new voices on the team!

First, I want to be clear that the responsibility for the late notification of the 2022 CHSQ budget and the fact that it is coming electronically rests solely on our management company’s failure to comply with our by-laws which call for a “written” notice within 30 days of the new assessment period beginning 01JAN2022. The board voted at the annual budget meeting to increase assessment fees by $20.00 per quarter for a total increase of $80.00 per year. This decision was based on the recommendation from the reserve study completed in late 2019. The reserve study was the third such study that has been completed on our neighborhood all of which recommended increasing fees, none of which were acted on until now. The failure to properly assess fees to maintain the common areas and allow them to fall into disrepair is unacceptable. The continued failure of fees being paid has compounded the issue further. To that point, we’ve been left with no choice but to accept the recommended increase. This decision was not taken lightly, and was not without much discussion. If you have questions or concerns, you’re welcome to attend the next scheduled meeting. We have elections coming up next year for new and vacant board positions, and I welcome anyone who would like to volunteer to help improve our community as we all have been working to do this past year.

Very Respectfully,

CHSQ HOA
