Rules and Regulations

LCERA dues support neighborhood events and member access to the tennis/pickleball courts and the lake lot on the Lake Conway chain of lakes.

Association dues are $175 when paid by cash or check and $180 when paid through Stripe on the association website at lakeconwayestates.com. Members who pay before the annual meeting receive a $25 discount. Dues are nonrefundable.

After dues are paid, each Lake Conway Estates residence will be issued one permanent restricted-access card for the slide gate, pedestrian gate, lake lot, and tennis courts. The card remains active with annual dues payment and remains the property of the association.

Residents may not lend their restricted-access card to others. If a card is used without the resident member present, the association may deactivate the card and deny membership for subsequent years.

Lost or stolen access cards will be deactivated. Replacement cards cost $50 when paid by cash or check and $55 when paid through Stripe on the association website. Membership is nontransferable upon the sale of a home or a resident move-out. The prior owner’s card will be deactivated, and the new resident must pay dues to access the amenities.

Access cards are water-resistant but should not be submerged. Keep cards away from excessive heat, including vehicle dashboards, and from strong magnetic fields, including mobile phones, which may cause read errors or card failure. Please handle cards with care.

Access cards for residents who have not paid dues for the new association year will deactivate after the annual meeting in September. Cards will be reactivated once dues are paid.

Member boat owners must provide their state-validated watercraft trailer registration to receive a trailer sticker. An LCERA sticker will be issued to the boat owner and should be affixed to the boat trailer on the left side of the tongue. Members with more than one watercraft trailer will be issued additional stickers, when appropriate trailer registration information is provided. A sticker must be visible on the trailer to park in the lake lot. New stickers are issued for each membership year.

Members may not use the recreation areas for business use of any kind, may not charge for access or earn any income by use of the recreation areas. Non-members, including guests, who are discovered using the recreation areas unaccompanied by a member are subject to trespass warnings and possible arrest.
