Volunteers Sought for Committees

Our community is only as good as the volunteers who serve on the various committees. The Fountain Hills Community Association Board of Directors

HOA Reminders

Pet Etiquette

Pet owners are reminded that they should walk their pets away from neighbors homes, playgrounds and high-traffic areas. Without continued vigilance by residents, deposits of animal waste could become a significant nuisance and a potential health hazard.

Montgomery County law requires that pets should be on a leash or under the owner’s control at all times. County Law also requires dog owners to pick-up and properly dispose of dog waste.

Trash & Recycling

The Board asks residents to please pickup and dispose of papers and other trash that might be found in common areas, easements, roadways and alleys near your home.

Windy trash and recycling pickup days often lead to the scattering of trash, newspapers, plastic bottles, etc. Thank you for helping keep Fountain Hills Community clean.

Please be aware that County collection regulations require that all materials prepared for collections must be at curbside no later than 7:00am on your designated trash and/or recycling day. All materials prepared for collection must not be set out earlier than 5:00pm the day before your collection day. Recycling containers must be removed from the collection location no later than 5:00pm the day after. more>

Special Parking Rules for Mediterranean Drive & Lake Geneva Way
Residents

Special parking rules have been in effect since November 1, 2006, for residents in the Lake Geneva Way/Mediterranean Drive section of Fountain Hills. Briefly, each household will be issued a "hang tag" which must be displayed on any vehicle not parked in the resident's number spaces or, for garage townhomes, on the resident's driveway or in their garage.

Vehicles not having a properly displayed hang tag that are parked in unnumbered spaces overnight will be subject to towing, subject to Montgomery County's towing ordinance. Please review this policy carefully.
