About

about floa

The non-profit corporation was established in April, 1967 in order to develop and implement short and long range plans that protect and enhance area value.

FLOA provides for the maintenance, preservation and control of the Association property and/or common areas within FOREST LAKES ESTATES, including any further additions.

FLOA is the sole proprietor of the Community Center, purchased on December 12, 2014, and is responsible for its management, including financial sustainability for utilities, maintenance, insurances, property taxes, and other related costs.

FLOA is not an "HOA" as commonly formed in other communities, as we have no required dues or levies, and we have no enforcement authority regarding CC&Rs.
