Seton HOA Rules & Regulations
The Seton Homeowners Association (SHOA) will strive to enhance the enjoyment of members’ lives and promote community spirit by offering amenities, facilities and programs for members’ benefits in a fiscally responsible manner.
The SHOA amenities are for the exclusive use of the Members of the SHOA and their guest(s). Until the community has reached a self-sustainable level, this rule will be relaxed to allow outside residents to register for programs and rent space in the Facility (not in the park). A non-resident fee will be added to the cost of any registered programs and facility rentals.
At the SHOA, we uphold a standard or mutual respect among all residents and guest(s). Any disrespectful behavior towards fellow residents, staff, or property will not be tolerated and may result in disciplinary action.
All members and guests are permitted the use of the HOA facility and park Amenities at their own risk and subject to the following rules and regulations.
