NEW RESIDENT INFO/FAQ

Mailboxes:

If you have a mailbox by the road in front of your home, there's nothing you need to do to begin receiving your mail at that mailbox.

If your home utilizes the community mailboxes at the park, you will need to go to the Hahira Post Office to establish your address and get your set of mailbox keys. Please note: The decision to implement this type of mailbox was made by the Post Master, not the HOA.

Grove Pointe Facebook Groups:

We have two PRIVATE Facebook groups dedicated to Grove Pointe residents. For the privacy and security of our neighborhood, all requests to join these groups will be vetted to ensure that the requesting individual owns the property or is renting from the property owners. All group membership questions must be fully answered for consideration to be admitted to the group, and we DO fact check.

1. Grove Pointe Residents Facebook Group:

Used by HOA board to make announcements and share information with residents

Used by residents to share information or ask questions - any posts that should be in the marketplace will be removed from the resident page and requested to post in the marketplace group.

2. Grove Pointe Marketplace Facebook Group:
Used by residents; neighborhood buy/sell group

Please note: The HOA Board is not notified when questions are asked in this Grove Pointe Residents Facebook group and the board does not monitor Facebook messenger; that is why it is critical to email when you have a question or concern on which you need assistance.

The best way to contact the HOA Board is by sending an email to grovepointehoa@gmail.com. HOA Board members monitor this email account and respond as quickly as possible.

Fences may not be taller than six feet in height. Vinyl, chain link, PVC or any other fencing material is prohibited. The fence shall have the finished side facing the exterior of the lot.

Each Grove Pointe homeowner is responsible for the maintenance of the landscape on their property.
