About FLOA

How FLOA Serves the Community

The missions of FLOA are:

· To inform and represent the membership in regards to community and county decisions that affect Forest Lakes Estates

· To lend support to other Forest Lakes organizations

· To interface with County, State and Federal organizations affecting Forest Lakes

· To coordinate social activities and special events for the general benefit of the community

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.
