This independent petition is not an official Dawson Landing HOA vote and is not legally binding. Responses may be shared with the Board as an expression of resident opinion.

1 Records reviewed for violation #123723 indicate that the missing shutter was repaired before the HOA's stated correction deadline. Should the HOA reverse the $400 violation charge and related interest and late fees?

Review the documented case timeline and sources.

2 Should the HOA use association funds to litigate or collect the disputed violation charges, or seek a practical resolution without litigation?
3 Should the HOA replace the current HTTP-only reinspection portal with a secure HTTPS portal to better protect homeowners' personal and account information?
4 Should the HOA provide a secure online option for paying assessments, with itemized statements and electronic receipts?
5 Should the HOA offer a secure electronic voting option, where permitted by Virginia law and the governing documents, while retaining paper or mail options for homeowners who prefer them?
6 If the current HOA Board continues to resist addressing these issues, would you be willing to run in the next election and serve on the HOA Board?

Official complaint paths

Informational only — not legal advice. Confirm current forms and deadlines before filing.

Virginia Common Interest Community Ombudsman (DPOR)

The Ombudsman reviews alleged violations of common interest community law, not pure governing-document disputes. Complaints generally need to identify a statutory issue, such as hearing procedures, charge limits, or rule publication under Va. Code § 55.1-1819.

Generally, an owner first files through the Association's written complaint procedure and obtains a final adverse decision. A Notice of Final Adverse Decision may then be filed with the Ombudsman, subject to current requirements and deadlines.
