HOA Overview
The Heritage Plantation Owners Association (HPOA), of which all property owners are members, elects a Board of Directors which oversees the management of Heritage Plantation. Either two or three directors of the seven member Board are elected each year at the Association's annual meeting. A professional property management company (currently Waccamaw Management, LLC, AAMC), under supervision of the Board of Directors, performs day-to-day management of all aspects of the operations and maintenance of the community. The management staff consists of a full time property manager, a part time association administrator, a dock master, and a maintenance supervisor. The Board and Waccamaw Management work together to provide rigorous financial management; marina management; maintenance of facilities, amenities and common areas; and preservation of an active, beautiful and safe community.
Since assuming control from the developer in 2002, Heritage Plantation has managed a sound operating budget and established a reserve fund that has allowed it to maintain the community in excellent condition without needing to levy a special assessment on property owners.
Besides contracting with a professional property management company, the Board contracts for services from professional landscaping and security companies. All of our large contracts, as well as major purchases of goods and services, are awarded by a process of competitive bidding which helps us select the best value for our community.
The Architectural Review Board (ARB) is the organization that determines if architecture plans for new homes, renovations, or landscaping meet the well defined community standards. Volunteer members, who are appointed by the Board of Directors, strive to quickly and fairly process all homeowners’ requests in a professional, yet friendly, manner. Their goal is to maintain the integrity of our beautiful neighborhood.
The Board of Directors is assisted by many additional volunteers who serve on other committees established by the Board. The current standing ones are the Club (Social), Election, Marina Advisory, Beautification, and Welcome Committees.
