Q:  What are the benefits of being part of the Sierra HOA?

A:  Having an HOA that enforces its covenants and bylaws, and has an active management team, helps protect property values by ensuring: appropriate management of the association’s business affairs, the sufficient short and long-term planning and funding of operations and capital expenditures, and the attractive development and maintenance of properties. Members also enjoy access to association facilities such as the clubhouse, pool, and playground; and participation in community events.

Q:   HOA membership?

A:  All property owners of the Sierra Country Club plat are automatically members of the HOA, and paying annual dues and assessments by all members is mandatory.

WATER CONNECTIONS

Q: How do I get a new water connection so I can build a house on a vacant lot?

A:  New water connections are restricted. Contact Us for more information.

Q: Why are the water connections limited?

A:  The Island County Public Health Department, working in conjunction with the Washington Department of Health, is the authority for granting additional water connections for community water systems such as Sierra.  Because we are in a high-risk area for saltwater intrusion into our current wells, one of the county’s considerations for granting new connections is based on an assessment of the impact of increased demand on the aquifer that supplies Sierra’s water.

WATER SYSTEM

Q: Who owns and operates our water system?

A:  Our water system is wholly owned by the Sierra Country Club membership.
