Snake River Inspection Drive-Bys; Potential Violations List
You all are aware that Snake River HOA Management does regular “drive-bys”: two times per month during the summer months, and once per month during the fall-winter-spring months.
Below is a list of many of the kinds of issues they will be looking for in the drive-bys. If your property is showing any of these issues during the drive-by, within a few days of the drive by you will receive a violation letter from Snake River.
Obviously the purpose is to keep Saguaro Canyon Subdivision “looking good”, showing that we are all proud to live in the upscale subdivision that it is, and are all doing our part to keep it an attractive and well kept place to live and own in Treasure Valley.
