VOTE YES for the STONEBRIDGE SECURITY TAX on NOV 5, 2024
SPOA asks all Stonebridge residents to VOTE YES to the Stonebridge Security Tax renewal on the Nov 5, 2024 presidential election ballot.
This is NOT A NEW tax, has been in place for decades, and is dedicated only to pay for the Stonebridge security program (crime prevention, entrance guards, security cameras, license plate cameras, extra police patrols). This program protects you and your family in Stonebridge against crime and without its renewal, our neighborhood will lose its entrance guards, security cameras, and extra police patrols that keep us safe.
It is CRITICAL to the future of Stonebridge that this vote passes !!! Only Stonebridge residents can vote on this proposition. Without this funding, our security and crime prevention programs will not exist, and everyone’s property values could decrease if crime rises in our neighborhood.
This security tax election renewal must be voted on by Stonebridge residents once every 10 years and will be on the ballot Tuesday Nov 5, 2024. More information is located here
YOUR ANNUAL SPOA FEE IS MANDATORY
The Stonebridge Property Owners Association (SPOA) annual fee is a mandatory legal requirement for all Stonebridge property owners and has been required for all Stonebridge property parcels since SPOA was created in 1982. Your SPOA annual fee funds the operations of SPOA and helps to keep our neighborhood safe and beautiful and our property values high.
Starting January 1, 2024, the annual fee for improved lots/houses has been reinstated to the legally authorized amount of $60 per year. Similarly, the annual fee for unimproved/vacant lots has been reinstated to the legally authorized amount of $30.
If you currently owe more than 3 years of unpaid fees, you must immediately pay your unpaid fees in full, otherwise legal action will be taken including a lawsuit against you and/or filing of a property lien under the LOUISIANA HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION ACT, La. Rev. Stat. Ann. §§ 9:1141.1 – 9:1148. A lawsuit will cost you attorney’s fees and court costs and a property lien will prevent the sale or refinance of your property and cost you interest and additional charges. Please pay your unpaid fees immediately!
Your annual fee funds the operations of your all-volunteer SPOA, including maintenance of our neighborhood’s aesthetic appeal, including green spaces, seasonal decorations, lighting, banners, website upkeep, and legal fees for covenant and wall maintenance enforcement. Your fees help us preserve the beauty and value of Stonebridge which increases property values for all of us.
