Frequently Asked Questions
- WHAT HAPPENS IF I FAIL A COMMUNITY INSPECTION? The HOA bylaws governs failed inspections. If you fail an inspection the HOA will send you a letter identifying what was found. The letter will include a date for the HOA to reinspect your property. If discrepancies is fixed the HOA will close the issue. Review the HOA bylaws to get additional details on failed inspections.
- WHERE CAN I GET A NEW MAILBOX? Per the HOA Bylaws the HOA provides a free replacements for mailboxes damaged due to normal wear and tear. To receive a replacement submit a Home Modification Request on the home page of this website and select the free mailbox replacement option. For mailboxes damaged by other means the resident must pay for replacements. New mailboxes can be ordered from https://mymailboxman.com/product/6200b/. Our neighborhood uses the (10.8”H, 8.7”W, 22.5”D) 6200B Large Size Black galvanized steel mailbox.
- WHY IS THE HOA WAITING SO LONG TO DO SNOW REMOVAL? Anne Arundel County conducts the snow removal for our neighborhood. The HOA staff may use the landscaping service if the snow exceeds 4 inches and if there is a delay from the county to remove snow. This service is used sparingly because continued use may directly increase your HOA fees. Residents can submit independent snow removals request for the county at https://www.aacounty.org/public-works/highways/snow-removal/snow-level-service
- WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT A PARKING HAZARD? For parking violations not governed by the HOA Bylaws, residents should contact the Anne Arundel County Police non-emergency line at (410) 222-8610 to enforce traffic and parking laws. The Maryland laws and HOA Bylaws governing parking and traffic in our community can be found under the Parking tab of this website.
- WHY IS THE LANDSCAPING COMPANY CUTTING A PART OF MY LAWN? In accordance with the Bylaws the landscaping company maintains the grass in the public areas, the playground and portions of lawn near the curb after the sidewalk. They should not be cutting your main lawn.
- WHY IS THE HOA INSTALLING “NO PARKING” SIGNS IN THE COMMUNITY? The SpringRidge HOA does not own our community streets and is “NOT” putting up any parking signs in the community. However, any resident in the county who observes a safety issue i.e., malfunctioning stop light, blocked roadways etc., has the right as a citizen to call the county and request a safety inspection. When this occurs, the county is obligated to conduct an investigation and may implement additional safety measures such as “No Parking” signs. As with the right of any resident, the HOA, may on behalf of the community, request the county do a full community safety inspection. This makes sense, because it consolidates complaints into one request and minimizes the county receiving multiple requests from our residents.
- WHEN ARE HOA FEES DUE AND WHERE DO I MAIL THEM? HOA bills are mailed to residents in February of each year and paid by March. Payments should be made to “SpringRidge HOA” and mailed to P.O. Box 1390 Glen Burnie, MD. 21060. Alternatively payments may also be submitted via Zelle. See your billing invoice for more information or contact the HOA.
- WHY DID I RECEIVE A FRONT FOOT UTILITY BILL FROM CATTAIL CONSTRUCTION? Front foot fees are charged by Cattail construction to recover the cost for the county installing sewage lines for our community. The fee is equivalent to $600.00 per year per resident for 30 years after the home is built. Front foot fees are assessed in the June timeframe so residents should expect to see these bills each year.
- WHAT CAN I DO IF I LOST MY PET OR NOTICE TOO MANY STRAY ANIMALS IN THE COMMUNITY? If you lost your pet or notice an increase of stray animals call Anne Arundel County Animal control. The county maintains a list of lost animals found and may also provide assistance in catching stray animals. The county may install traps or may loan you a trap to use. If you do decide to remove stray animals yourself, be extremely careful because many stray animals may carry diseases such as rabies. For more details, please call Anne Arundel County Animal Control at (410) 222-8900.
