IS MEMBERSHIP IN THE ASSOCIATION OPTIONAL?
No. Any person who becomes an Owner at Foster Branch is automatically a Member of the Association. Membership is mandatory. It ceases when the person ceases to own in Foster Branch. Every Member is subject to the requirements of the governing documents.
DOES THE ASSOCIATION HAVE AN ANNUAL FEE/ASSESSMENT?
Every owner is required to pay a yearly assessment imposed by the Association. These funds are used for the Common Expenses of the Association. These expenses are incurred in the administration, management, maintenance, and operation of Foster Branch. The current assessment is $75 per-lot, per-year, to be paid April 1st. A late charge of $15.00 is imposed if the payment is not received by the Fifteenth (15th) day of the month the payment is due. Beginning March 1st, 2016 the annual assessment will be increased to $100 with a late charge of $15.00 if the payment is not received by the Fifteenth (15th) day of the month the payment is due.
I AM SELLING MY HOME. WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?
The state of Maryland makes the SELLER responsible for providing the buyer with a complete and current re-sale package. In fact, they deemed this so important that the buyer can’t waive this even if they want to. However, in many real estate practices the seller’s agent will assist and or procure the documents for the client. Because there is a 3 to 7 day contingency on the sale for the buyer to review the documents it is an important and time sensitive issue.
HOW DO I REPORT A VIOLATION OF THE BYLAWS OR COVENANTS?
Take a photograph of the violation, report it to our management company by sending an email to community@mymetropolis.net, by postal mail to the address listed below:

Please note your annual assessments were due by April 1, 2015 and must be paid using the payment coupon sent to all homeowners by our new bank BB&T. Payments made after this date must also include a late fee of $15.00. We have made every reasonable effort to make sure your statement was sent out at least 20 days prior to the due date. However, failure to receive a bill does not exempt you from paying your assessment. Please do not send checks to the P.O. Box 237 address as in previous years.
