Condo VII – July 2026
DATES TO REMEMBER
• July 4 – Independence Day
Happy 250th Birthday to the United States of America
Our landscapers continue to work on keeping the condo spruced up and make sprinkler repairs as needed.
We want to thank our many residents who have taken the time to fix up and plant by their homes. Their efforts make Condo VII look very beautiful!
Dylan and the Maintenance staff did a great job cleaning and restriping our parking plazas. Now that the lines are back and very easy to see, there is no longer an excuse to use more than one parking spot. Be aware of how you park and be considerate to your neighbors.
An important reminder – your car must have a current registration, and it must have license plates on it. If not, it will be towed at your expense.
By now, you know that online payment has been set up for common charges. You can make your payment via the portal, by having your bank send a check, or by writing your own check and dropping it off at the clubhouse. Regardless of what method you choose, the common charges are still due on the 1st of the month. Any payment received after the 10th of the month will be charged a $50 late fee.
Guests
Please ensure your guests are aware of our house rules and by-laws, as they are also required to follow them. This includes, but is not limited to, driving the speed limit, obeying the stop signs, parking properly, appropriately disposing of trash, and properly utilizing the clubhouse facilities. As a resident, you are responsible for the actions of your guests.
Expenses & Budget
May and June expenses:
Gutter cleaning – $3,000 Tree trimming & tree removal – $4,023
Drainage repairs – $3,299 Spraying for ticks/mosquitoes – $1,035/month
Parking plaza striping – $2,280
Upcoming projects: gutter, siding, and concrete repairs.
We have started working on the budget for the next fiscal year and, as always, we will be as frugal and conservative as possible. Due to a claim that has been filed against the Condo, our current insurance company is dropping our coverage. Our broker is working on obtaining new coverage for us. However, it will likely be at a higher cost than we are currently paying. Any increased cost will need to be reflected in our common charges.
Basement Schedule for July
Starting this month, the basements will be open on Saturdays only. If you can’t make those days, email the Board, and we’ll find a mutually convenient date and time to allow you access.

The Board is made up of your fellow residents who volunteer their time. Their only goals are to keep Condo VII financially stable and better the community as much as possible. Constructive criticism and positive suggestions are always welcome.
