Report a Covenant Violation

From time to time, homeowners need assistance to address covenant violations with their neighbors.  The Board of Directors has adopted the procedures listed below for interceding in these matters. Download the complete policy HERE.

Enforcement of the covenants shall be the responsibility of the homeowners of the subdivision, but the Declarant, the Architectural Committee or any lot owner shall also have the right to bring enforcement proceedings.  The Architectural Committee is available to investigate potential violations brought forth by active HOA members in good standing.

This policy in no way prevents the OMS HOA or any individual lot owner from taking legal action on its own regarding any violation of the restrictive covenants it deems necessary as allowed by the covenants and applicable law(s).

Please complete the form to the right or submit a letter with the necessary information to:  

Ole Mill Stream HOA

PO Box 1022

Clayton, NC 27528
