Revised Guidelines and Seasonal Maintenance Reminders

Please take a moment to review the revised Architectural Guidelines - click
Seasonal Maintenance
- Section 6.01 of the Oakland Mills Village Covenants state: "Each owner shall keep all lots owned by him and all improvements therein or thereon, in good order and repair, including but not limited to, the seeding, watering, and mowing of all lawns; the pruning and cutting of all trees and shrubbery; and, the painting (or other appropriate external care) of all buildings and other improvements, all in a manner and with such frequency as is consistent with good property management.". Property owners are responsible for maintaining their sidewalk and driveway apron areas even though they are on the County rights-of-way branches. Seasonal items and tools may not be stored in the open.
If you have any Covenant related questions or issues to discuss with our Covenant Advisors please feel free to contact them. Their contact information is located on the left side of the page under Contact OMCA.
TEST YOUR SOIL - We have "test your soil" collection bags at the Other Barn. Stop by the front desk and ask for a bag, fill it with soil, fill out the form with your name, address, and contact information and return it to The Other Barn. We will send it Columbia Association who, in turn, will send it to the UMD for testing.
