Homeowners' Association

The Pinery Homeowners' Association acts as a representative of the Pinery in dealing with outside governmental agencies by giving input regarding new developments around the Pinery, open space, and roadways. The PHA tries to keep Pinery residents informed on issues that impact our community via the newsletter. The PHA also operates the RV storage lot for the use of Pinery residents. Please feel free to call the office with any questions about your community. We need the support of every resident to preserve and protect the amenities of this beautiful and unique development.

Pinery residents can pay for their PHA membership by paying $30 directly each year, invoices are sent out in January; or by joining the Pinery Trash Program. PHA dues is included in the trash payments. Go to the Trash Page of this website for more information.

The Pinery Architectural Review Committee reviews and approves new building and exterior remodeling (such as painting, decks, fences, and replacement roofs) of homes in the Pinery to ensure compliance with Pinery Protective Covenants

The intention of the Covenants is to protect our scenic environment and maintain the value of our homes. You should have received a copy of the Covenants for your filing at closing. If not, you can contact the PARC Office to request a copy. You may also email ARC@pinery.org for a copy. Be sure to include your name and street address in your request.

The Protective Covenants for “The Pinery” charge the Pinery Architectural Review Committee with the duty of ensuring that exterior alterations to the homes in the Pinery conform to a standard of quality workmanship, quality materials, and a harmony of design within the community. The Committee has developed the Architectural Standards to guide its decision making process and to assist homeowners planning alterations to their homes. For more information see Architectural Standards.

See the Pinery Architectural Review Committee Approved Materials listing.

Covenants are filed with Douglas County in conjunction with all Pinery properties and therefore are essentially a deed restriction. Purchasing a property within the Pinery represents your agreement to abide by covenants. They are the 'rules' that govern changes, and in some instances (e.g. parking) exterior activity at your residence. Covenants require approval of most exterior changes to your property by the Architectural Review Committee before they are made. The intent of covenants is to ensure that property values and quality of life in the Pinery remain desirable.

Contact ARC@pinery.org for more specific information.

Bingham Lake is privately owned and is leased by the Pinery Water & Wastewater District (PW&WD) to Douglas County Parks and Trails.

The parkland surrounding the water is open to the public for hiking, biking, and picnicking under Douglas County Parks rules during its posted hours.

Any door-to-door salesperson doing business in Douglas County is required by Ordinance to register with Douglas County and should display on his or her person an individual or business solicitor registration card issued pursuant to this ordinance. Schools and non-profit organizations are exempted from the ordinance. Any salesperson not displaying such registration is in violation of the law and subject to citation by the Douglas County Sheriff’s Department.

In the aftermath of winter snow storms, Douglas County residents can expect to see the development of potholes in streets and roadways. Moisture combined with freezing and thawing will create cracks in the asphalt where moisture can penetrate beneath the pavement, and may create a pothole. Although Douglas County Road and Bridge staff are patrolling streets looking for potholes, citizen assistance with pothole notification would help road and bridge crews address the damage quicker. Please report the location of any potholes by intersection or address (303) 660-7480.
