General

An HOA (Homeowners Association) is a legal entity that governs a community of homes. It enforces the community’s rules and regulations, maintains common areas, and handles issues related to property management.

The HOA assessments are $120.79 quarterly. These are due on the 1st of January, April. July, and October.

Assessments, fines, and fees can all be paid through your TownSq portal. You can also mail payments to our bank lockbox location at:

Park at Blackhawk and Lakeside
c/o Goodwin Processing Center
PO Box 93447
Las Vegas, NV 89193-3447
Please include the association name and property address on all payments.

Your HOA assessments cover the costs of maintaining common areas, providing amenities, and other services.
Non-payment of assessments can result in penalties, liens against your property, or even foreclosure in severe cases.

We only accept checks or money orders for replacement cards/fobs. Please note that Amenity Access cards/fobs are no longer issued at the Blackhawk Amenity Center.

First, check out our reservation availability calendar to make sure the amenity is available for your desired date and time. Then, you will need to submit a Reservation Agreement and deposit, in person, to our on-site staff. Your reservation is not complete until these have been submitted and amenity center staff has confirmed your reservation.

The pavilion, ballfields, sports courts, and other recreation areas can be reserved for free, but each requires a $100 refundable damage deposit. Reservations are available for two time slots each day: 8am – 3pm and 4pm – 11pm. These times include setup and cleaning.

No reservations will be accepted within 10 days of an event. Please see the Reservation Agreement for more details on other possible charges for failure to follow reservation rules.

Yes, certain rules and restrictions apply for each amenity. You can view all of our rules by clicking the box below. Alcohol is never allowed at any of our amenities.

You will need your amenity access fob to access the gate systems at Carries Ranch. Each fob needs to be scanned at the designated gate you are trying to enter. Access to the facility will not be granted without a registered access fob. Carries Ranch Recreation Center staff can issue access fobs during regular business hours. Please note that Amenity Access cards/fobs are no longer issued at the Blackhawk Amenity Center.

Architectural Process

Generally, any alterations that change the appearance of your property, or could affect other properties or common areas (i.e., drainage issues caused by construction), require approval. If you are unsure if your project needs approval, please check with us. However, repairs or replacements that don’t alter the appearance, such as repainting your home the same color or replacing a damaged fence with one of the same color and style, do not require approval.

You’ll need to submit an ACC application detailing your project, including all materials to be used and their colors. Most projects require a marked-up plat showing the exact size and location of the improvement on your property. More complex projects may necessitate renderings or proposals from the contractor performing the installation. Once you’ve gathered the necessary documents, email them to BlackhawkCompliance@goodwintx.com. Our Community Standards Coordinator will review your project to ensure all required elements are present and will then forward it to the architectural committee. After your project has been submitted to the architectural committee, you will receive a system-generated email containing a link where you can monitor its progress or upload additional documents if requested. If you do not receive this email, please check your spam folder.

The architectural committee has 30 days to make a decision on your application, but most applications are reviewed within a week or two. If your application is missing any information, or if the committee needs clarification on anything, your application will be put on hold until that information is provided.

We frequently receive questions about pre-approved paint and stain colors, as well as pre-approved plants and trees. However, we do not have any pre-approval lists for any types of projects. We do have certain items that are prohibited. Please refer to our Community Standards Guidelines for more information. If you are uncertain about anything, feel free to check with us. We are here to help.

Once an improvement project has been approved by the ACC (Architectural Control Committee), the work must commence within six (6) months from the date of approval. From the start of the work, it must be completed within three (3) months. This policy ensures that all improvements to properties in our community are performed in a timely manner and do not cause prolonged disruption or inconvenience to other residents. If any changes to the approved plans are necessary after approval, a new application must be submitted for consideration. If you decide not to move forward with your project after it has been approved, please contact us so we can withdraw your application.

Compliance

We conduct routine inspections of the community and receive reports from residents to identify compliance issues.

When compliance issues are identified, we send courtesy notices to residents requesting that they rectify the issue. If the issue isn’t resolved by the date specified on the notice, it could escalate to a violation fine. Any time a violation fine is assessed, we will send you a notice by certified mail, for which residents are charged a fee.

In cases of repeated non-compliance, refusal to comply with community rules, non-curable violations, or violations posing a health or safety risk to our community, we may resort to direct legal actions.

Courtesy notices are sent to residents via email and physical mail. If compliance issues are not resolved following a courtesy notice, they escalate to a violation notice that includes a fine. Whenever we assess a violation fine, we send you a notice by certified mail. Residents are charged a fee for this certified mail.

You can find our governing documents and helpful guidelines here. If you have received a notice, the text of the relevant rule from our governing documents will be detailed on it.

You can contact our on-site Community Standards Coordinator at BlackhawkCompliance@goodwintx.com to report compliance issues or to discuss a notice that you have received. Please include your address in all correspondence.

Let us know about temporary situations (i.e., an RV or boat on site for loading, or a trash can left at the curb awaiting replacement), and we’ll note it on your account, so you don’t receive an unnecessary notice.

This isn’t a complete list of all our covenants, conditions, and restrictions, just a list of the most common issues for which we send notices. If you need clarification on anything, feel free to reach out to us.

Trash/recycling bins in view: Trash and recycling bins must be completely out of view from the street or neighboring properties when viewed from the ground floor. Most people store them in their backyards or garages. With ACC approval, you can also install fence screening.

Landscaping: Lawns must be mowed, edged, and free of weeds. Tree wells and plant beds must be free of grass and weeds. Trees and shrubs must be pruned. For more details on landscaping, please see our Landscaping Guidelines.

Signs: Advertising signs for events, organizations, or commercial businesses are never allowed. One “For Sale” sign is permitted, but “For Lease” or “For Rent” signs are not. Political signs are allowed 90 days before election day for that candidate or issue and must be removed within 15 days following the election.

Unsightly items in view: This is a general term used to describe items left in public view that should be stored. The most common unsightly items that lead to violations are landscaping materials (i.e., bags of mulch or piles of stone), pallets and crates, and items left at the curb awaiting collection. Please store items out of view until you are ready to use them, or on the day of pickup if awaiting collection.

Fences: Common fence issues include broken fence slats, leaning fences, or fences needing to be re-stained. There should not be any gaps or loose slats in fences. If you need to replace slats on a stained fence, be sure to stain the new slats to match the rest of the fence.

Architectural Issues: The most common violations of this type are making improvements without ACC approval, or not completing the work as approved by the architectural committee. Generally, anything that changes the appearance of your property, or could affect other properties or common areas (i.e., drainage issues caused by construction), requires approval. If you are unsure if your project requires approval, please check with us.

There are several reasons why you might receive a notice when parked in your driveway. The notice you received should detail why it was issued. Some potential reasons could include: parking commercial vehicles, parking on the grass, having inoperable vehicles, expired registration, or conducting vehicle repairs.

The most common reason for such notices is for obstructing the sidewalk with your vehicle. Please help us in maintain the safety and walkability of our community. If you own more than two vehicles, any additional ones should be parked inside your garage, as outlined in our governing documents.

Getting Involved

You can participate in community events by attending planning meetings, volunteering, or just joining in the events themselves.

The events calendar is available on our website, here. We also post flyers on the notice boards at the Amenity Center and include them in our quarterly newsletter. Although these events are often posted on social media groups, please note that these groups are not directly affiliated with the management team.

When we have openings on the committee, we will issue a general call to all homeowners, announcing that we are seeking candidates for seats on the ACC. Homeowners will have at least 10 days in which to apply. After the deadline, we will review all the applications and interview shortlisted candidates. The Board of Directors will then make appointments to the committee based on the interviews and recommendations from both the ACC and the management team. You can read the full details of the formal process here. If a call for applications is currently open, you can download an application here.
