VHA (Villages Homeowners Association)
 

As a new resident in TV should we become members? What benefits do they provide?

Neither of the two Home Owners Associations are traditional HOA's in that they have no enforcement capabilities, do not establish rules or can not penalize home owners. They do provide a conduit to the Developer and the District and their voice is listened to because they do have significant numbers of members. I suggest you join both organizations since some will tell you that one is more Developer leaning and the other is more District leaning. The costs are more than fair and both bring value.

Thanks.

The POA should be your only choice. The POA has in fact done more to benefit the residents than the VHA ever has. We can thank the POA for the Rec Centers being constructed in areas already built out. The POA was 100% responsible for winning the lawsuit that is providing the funds.

Both, if one to stay informed and get involved in their community. They sometimes have different views. The POA is an organization that fights for homeowners rights.

The VHA is the developers point of view of what is happening, in TV.

Only you, can decide if this something you want, to do.

The advise by JoMar and 2BNTV is very reasonable. The poa may be a very reasonable organization, but thier posters on this site sure makes me question this. Anyone who says " the poa should be your only choice." raises red flags of lack of objectivity for me! Just sayin....

Excellent explanation, JoMar.

You get discounts at certain merchants if you have a VHA membership card. Same with the POA. I belong to both.

Read the monthly papers that are tossed onto our driveways. The differences will quickly become very clear. We owe the POA a great deal for their efforts. I cannot come up with a single thing the VHA has done that protected the rights of the residents. I would be interested if someone can provide a benefit that we can thank the VHA for doing.

Warren, you made your point earlier. I suspect that most on here are intelligent people and will do their research. Some of us suggested belonging to both to obtain more than one perspective. If you chose to not want to hear anything other than the POA, good for you...that's your choice. Just please accept that it might not be everyone's choice....both organizations have significant memberships and many of us belong to both.

For those who said belong to both because of the coupons and discounts is about the only reason to do so in my mind

I have been a member of both associations.

amen!!!

you can certainly support one or both organizations .... but would someone answer Warren's question??? I've been here 13 years and I cannot come up with anything that the VHA has done to help any homeowners that have had problems with the developer

I don't belong to either and don't care to.
