For 2026, our HOA dues are $325 annually for single lots and $460 for double lots. They are due every year by April 1st, and you can set them up to be paid automatically, right here on our website, or mail a check to PO Box 391, Kechi, KS 67067 (this saves us processing fees). If you need help setting up AutoPay, please let us know.

Current Residents

Elections are held once a year at our Annual Meeting in February, but we may also need members willing to fill any vacancies that may occur throughout the year. To qualify for a board seat, members must be current on their HOA assessments, make all reasonable efforts to attend meetings and carry out their responsibilities, and set an example for all members by following the covenants, rules and restrictions of the Association. As Board-directed committees are formed, we need members to fill those seats, too! We welcome your ideas and the commitment to serve our community!

Please refer to the Architectural Design Guidelines that have been provided to you for information regarding all exterior and landscaping projects.

Current Residents

Bylaws are mutually agreed upon rules for the HOA, while covenants are long-term promises to do something or refrain from something. Our covenants primarily discuss topics such as land and external structures. The bylaws discuss topics pertaining to meetings, members, due payments, delinquency, liens and other rules of this nature for which we are to abide by. The design guidelines and landscaping guideline documents are meant to be examples of what exterior features of the home and landscape should look like in the neighborhood.

Current Residents

According to our bylaws, you may not install a privacy fence. The options are iron or aluminum, similar to the other neighbors around you. Please review the bylaws, covenants, and most especially, the landscaping guidelines for further details.

Any major exterior work should first be approved by the HOA design committee. Please complete the Architectural Design Project Approval Form (under Covenants & ADC) on this site. All fencing must be approved by the City of Bel Aire as well.

Current Residents

The large green cubes are Evergy electrical junction boxes. According to Evergy policy, if it will be fenced in, you must leave 10 feet clear in the front of it (the side with the lock on it is the front), and 3 feet around the rest of the sides. They also prefer a 5 ft gate nearby, or removable fence sections if no gate.

Current Residents

Any major exterior work, painting included, should first get approved by the HOA ADC. Please complete the Project Approval Form that is found under Covenants & ADC Guidelines, along with color swatches, and send it to the Architectural Design Committee at [email protected].

Current Residents

The approved mailbox for The Park and The Village is the Heavy Duty Rural Mailbox, style #4850, in black. You can buy these online at: mailboxes.com and on Amazon or you can buy them at your local Home Depot store.

The original mailbox, Salisbury Classic Mailbox, is discontinued and no longer in production. New mailboxes should be as close to this style as possible and follow the guidelines outlined in the Architectural Design Guidelines.

The original Salisbury style of post is not longer available for purchase. The ADC guidelines pertaining to new posts can be found in the Architectural Design Guidelines on this website. The style a homeowner chooses must be approved prior to purchase. Two homeowners who share must agree on the style and share cost if the situation calls for that. Contact the ADC at [email protected]. In general, it is up to each homeowner to keep mailboxes and posts painted and sealed as the original paint fades and deteriorates.

Two similar suggested mailbox post options:

-Special Lite Co Ashland Post

-Chicago Post Stanford Supreme

Should your post be damaged, there is a homeowner in the neighborhood who has offered to repair them if able and has a temporary post that can be used while repairs are done. Email or call the board for more information.

Prospective Residents
