The Pines is a Covenant Controlled Community
Filing 1 and Filing 2 were filed as a Covenant Controlled Community in 1973 with Elbert County
and both filings are required to abide by those covenants.
The Pines Homeowner’s Association is a non-profit that was formed and incorporated to
ensure that property values are protected and that a responsible body is present to address the
interests and concerns of all property owners in The Pines.
It is not the intention of the Association to create a “suburban structure” to our country lifestyle.
Membership in the HOA:
Filing 1 membership is mandatory.
Filing 2 membership is voluntary.
-The original covenants required mandatory membership in the Association for both Filing 1
and Filing 2.
-The current Association had no part in the amendment to make Filing 2 membership in the
HOA voluntary. This has led to much confusion. The amendment states that membership in the
association for Filing 2 is voluntary and they are not required to abide by the rules and
regulations of the Association. However, the Association has no rules or regulations of its own,
it only operates to ensure that The Pines maintains an atmosphere respectful of its covenants.
-The Association has sought and received a legal interpretation on this matter which affirms
both Filing 1 and 2 are to abide by the covenants.
