THE CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION

When you purchase a home at Orchard Run you automatically became a member of The Orchard Run Townhouse Condominium which was established through the filing of a Declaration of Condominium and By Laws. These "legal documents" were filed with the State and local government prior to beginning development and “unofficial” copies of these documents are posted elsewhere on this web site.

The Declaration of Condominium is a document that is filed in the Land Records to “create” the Condominium. The Declaration provides a detailed description of the common areas and the Units.

The By Laws are a document that not only addresses administrative issues such as criteria for meetings, elections, voting, etc., it spells out the requirements for budgeting, collection of assessments, the architectural control process and other “use restrictions” for the community.

Maryland law requires the seller of a home that is part of a homeowners association to provide the purchaser with specific information as a “disclosure package” at the time that the contract of purchase is made. Therefore, everyone should have been provided with a great deal of information, including the governing documents, rules & regulations, etc. Everyone is encouraged to read these documents carefully. Feel free to contact Vanguard Management with any questions. By heeding the provisions of these documents, the community will remain a nice place for everyone.
