2020 HOA Annual Meetings
The Annual meetings for all (3) HOAs were held Saturday, February 29. Unfortunately a quorum of members was not met for any HOA and therefore no new business was able to be conducted.
Presentations were shared with those in attendance regarding what was happening in each section, including special projects and financial information. These presentations are available for download to homeowners who have registered for owner access on this website.
CANCELLED - 2020 Amenity Card Audit in April
The Board of Directors has decided to cancel the Amenity Card Audit for 2020. All homeowner account must be in good standing in order for an amenity card to be activated. If your account has a balance due or outstanding violations, please take care of them as soon as you can in order for your card to be activated.
In May we will be issuing 2020 "Pool Stickers" that will need to be affixed on your current amenity card. If asked, you will need to present your card with a current sticker or you may be asked to leave the pool or tennis courts.
Only one card is issued per household. If you need to purchase a replacement card, you will need to visit the offices of HPI in person and the replacement cost is $50.00.
For your card to remain active for the 2020 pool season:
- All HOA dues must be current and there are no outstanding fines or balances due on your homeowner account.
- The "2020 Avensong Owner Survey" mailed with your 2020 dues statement must be submitted to HPI. If you have not sent that in, you can download a copy of it here and email it to Stephen Jones at HPI.
- Landlords must provide a copy of the current lease for the property.

In and around the clubhouse
Propping Open Secured Gates and Doors is Prohibited!
The gates and doors around the pool and tennis courts require secure card access for everyone’s safety and protection. Propping these gates and doors open leaves the neighborhood (you!) open to security concerns, damages and liability. It also causes damage to the gates and locking mechanisms. Anyone caught propping open secured gates and doors, or accessing the amenities by any means other than using an active amenity card, will be subject to loss of amenity privileges. (Smile, you’re on video camera!)
No Overnight Parking at the Clubhouse!
Any unauthorized parking at the clubhouse after the amenities are closed will result in your vehicle being towed. If you need to park at the clubhouse overnight (extra house guests, moving van, etc.) please contact the HOA to let us know. If we don’t have your vehicle make/tag info on file, your vehicle may be towed. Contact the HOA for clubhouse parking information at hoa@avensong.org.
Community Committees
Architectural Control Committee
In 2018 the ACC completed an update of our community design standards.
Please remember an ACC Change Request form must be submitted and approval received before exterior changes to your home or landscaping can begin. In the event that any exterior work without prior approval of the ACC occurs, the board may impose an immediate fine of $250.00 with additional daily fines possible.
The Design Standards and Application for Architectural Change can be found on the "Governing Documents" page of this website.
If you have questions about our community standards, exterior projects you are considering for your home or the ACC process, please contact the ACC at ACC@avensong.org.
The Neighborhood Watch
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you call 9-1-1 from your cell phone you MUST mention CITY OF MILTON or your call will be routed to Forsyth County!
