Dear, Village South Neighbors,

We hope this Spring newsletter, and reminders, find you all well.

Please let the Village South Board of Directors know if there is anything you need or would like to discuss with us.

Please feel free to attend any of our board meetings. We welcome your participation, and interest in our neighborhood.

Each property owner is responsible for maintaining his/her lot, so it does not detract from enhancing the value of our neighborhood.

Minimum maintenance including regular mowing, edging, trimming, removal of overgrowth, and dead vegetation should be sustained every week in the growing season and every other week in the off season.

Landscaping

There are currently many landscaping infractions clearly noticeable in our neighborhood.

Please observe your landscape, and physical structures on your property to look for any of the following, and please correct the items:

  • Mailboxes need pressure washing and/or painting.
