Lightridge High School Theatre Presents
Arthur Miller’s The Crucible
Witchcraft. Vengeance. Truth. Take a trip back in time to the Salem witch trials as Lightridge Theatre presents this chilling classic.
In the insular Puritan community of 1692 Salem, Massachusetts, a group of young girls are found dancing in the woods and immediately fall ill, sparking fears that a sinister force is at work. As long-held grudges turn to violent disputes and the line between truth and pretense grows increasingly blurry, the town’s determination to root out evil becomes more dangerous than the evil itself. Arthur Miller’s remarkable 1953 play remains as relevant as ever, featuring many of your Dulles Farms neighbors in the cast and crew!
This show contains sensitive themes and is not recommended for children in seventh grade and younger.
Performances are November 13th and 14th at 7 pm, and November 15th at 2 pm. Learn more and purchase tickets at www.lightridgetheatre.org.

Annual Inspections Are Now Complete:
The annual property inspections have officially wrapped up; I want to thank everyone for a wonderful inspection season! It was really nice to meet and work with so many of you. Routine inspections continue weekly, but it is important to get your outstanding violations taken care of before the end of the year. If you have abated your violation, please send a photo so we can close the violation. Please take a moment to check your compliance status.
- Check Your Status: You can easily check your account and review any open items by logging into the Resident Portal.
- Questions, Time Extensions, or Applications: If you have questions about a notice, need to request extra time to complete a repair or maintenance, or need assistance submitting an exterior modification application, please reach out to me directly.
Thank you for your cooperation and for doing your part to keep Dulles Farms looking its best!
Warmly,

Notice Regarding Door Hangers: Front Bed Maintenance, Mowing, & Other Maintenance Issues
Dear Homeowners,
If you recently found a door hanger notice on your front door, please note that these are generally issued to remind residents of community standards regarding front landscaping bed maintenance and lawn mowing. Maintenance of your flower beds and yard is required and must be done on a regular basis in order to remain in compliance.
To keep Dulles Farms looking neat and well-maintained for everyone, please keep the following guidelines in mind:
-
Lawn Care: Ensure your grass is regularly cut (kept at 6 inches or below) and edged along sidewalks, driveways, and curbs are neatly trimmed.
-
Bed Maintenance: Remove all weeds from garden beds, tree rings, and pavement joints, and keep shrubs properly pruned.
-
Other Maintenance Issues: If there is something written on the bottom, read it carefully, as there are specific items outside of the regular maintenance that need to be taken care of.
-
7-Day Cure Period: Once a notice or door hanger is issued, residents have 7 days to complete the necessary maintenance and cure the violation. For example, if the notice is dated October 20th, you have until October 27th to take care of the noted issue.
-
Right to Abate: Please be advised that per community guidelines, if the violation is not cured within the 7-day window, the Association reserves the right to enter the lot and perform the necessary maintenance at the homeowner's expense.
If you have any questions or need to submit photo confirmation once your yard is taken care of, please reach out to our Covenants Administrator at DulFarms@CiraMail.com or by phone at 703-542-7555. Thank you for doing your part to keep Dulles Farms looking beautiful! Your copy should address 3 key questions: Who am I writing for (audience)? Why should they care (benefit)? What do I want them to do (call-to-action)?
Create a great offer by adding words like "free," "personalized," "complimentary," or "customized." A sense of urgency often helps readers take action, so consider inserting phrases like "for a limited time only" or "only 7 remaining!"

Compliance Responsibilities & Resale Reminders
Whether you are planning to stay in your home for years to come or are considering moving soon, please remember that all exterior changes require prior approval.
· Submit Before You Install: Homeowners are responsible for submitting an exterior modification application and receiving approval before beginning any project. While property inspections are completed each year, compliance is ultimately the responsibility of the homeowner. Please note that there is only 1 inspector for the entire community, it is possible to miss items that are out of compliance. As inspections are conducted annually, something missed one year will likely be caught in a subsequent year. Resale inspections are more comprehensive, so...
· Don't Wait Until You Sell: Please do not delay submitting applications until you decide to put your house on the market. Review timelines are fixed, and if an unapproved modification fails to meet design guidelines, resolving the issue late in the process can cause significant delays.
· Order Resale Packets Early: If you plan to sell, do not wait until you receive an offer to order your resale packet. Waiting until the last minute risks taking open violations to the closing table.
· Violations Convey: A property CAN be sold with open compliance violations; however, those unresolved violations convey directly to the new owners.
We Are Here to Help: If you are considering selling your home or simply want to review your property's compliance status, please feel free to reach out with questions. Our Covenants Administrator, Shelby, is happy to assist you through the process!

Fall Maintenance Reminders
With the fall season underway, homeowners are encouraged to complete seasonal exterior maintenance before winter sets in. Essential tasks include power washing siding, decks, and fences to eliminate mildew; clearing out end-of-season garden beds and leaves; and ensuring gutters are free of debris. Don't wait to receive a violation, taking care of these items now prevents property damage and keeps our neighborhood looking its best year-round!
-
Power Washing: Clean siding, decks, fences, and walkways to remove mold, algae, and grime build-up from the spring and summer months. If you already have an open violation for this, make sure you take care of it before the weather gets too cold.
-
Garden Beds & Landscaping: Cut back dead perennials, clear out end-of-season garden beds, remove fallen leaves, and ensure all climbing vines or vegetation are properly trimmed back. Our Covenants Administrator will be issuing violations for unsightly gardens, please ensure you clean these areas at the end of the growing season.
-
Gutters & Drainage: Clear gutters and downspouts of fallen leaves and debris to ensure proper drainage before colder weather sets in.
Thank you for your cooperation and for doing your part to maintain the beauty of our community!
| | |
What If You Receive a Final Notice with a Hearing Date Set?
- Don't Panic, But Don't Ignore It: Reaching the final notice stage means an open item has gone unresolved. Under Virginia law, the Association must offer you due process before any monetary charges can be assessed.
- Correct it Before the Hearing: If you resolve the issue or submit the required application prior to the scheduled hearing date, the hearing can usually be canceled!
- Attend the Hearing or Request a Schedule: You have the right to speak with the Covenants Committee at the hearing to discuss the issue, share extenuating circumstances, or request an extension/maintenance plan. The goal is always to achieve compliance, not to assess fines.
| | |
Check Your Compliance
With annual inspections currently underway, please take a moment to check your account for any open violations you may have missed in the mail.

- Resident Portal: Log in online to view your account status instantly.

Received a Notice in the Mail?
Here’s How to Read It!
We know that receiving an official letter from the Association can sometimes feel intimidating, but please rest assured—these letters are not meant to be threatening or confrontational.
When a notice is sent, it is simply part of our administrative role to maintain consistent standards across Dulles Farms and keep our neighborhood looking its best. The legal language or specific rule references included in the letter are there because our governing documents require us to cite the official guidelines for full transparency, so you know exactly which rule applies.
If you receive a Notice of Violation or Courtesy Notice in the mail, here is a quick guide on what key details to look for and what steps to take next:
- Check the "Notice Type" & Header
-
Notice Type: Look near the top right or center of the letter (e.g., Courtesy Reminder, First Courtesy Notice). A courtesy notice is simply an initial heads-up to let you know an item needs attention—not an immediate fine or penalty.
-
Notice ID & Account Number: Keep these handy whenever you contact management so we can pull up your file instantly.
- Read the Violation Details & Location
- The body of the letter specifies the exact item observed (e.g., unapproved landscaping modifications, overgrown grass, missing shutter) and where on the property it was noted (e.g., Front Yard, Rear Yard).
- Look for the "To Bring This Property Into Compliance" Section
- The letter outlines the specific action required to resolve the issue. This usually involves one of two options:
- Correcting the item (e.g., mowing the lawn, repairing a fence, or removing a noncompliant item).
- Submitting an Application (e.g., submitting an Architectural Exterior Modification Application to our Covenants Administrator if you made a change or addition).
- Already Fixed It? Send Us a Photo!
- If you have already addressed the issue, you don't need to call—simply send an email with a photo confirmation to DulFarms@CiraMail.com and reference your property address in the subject line.
- Questions or Need More Time?
- If you have questions about the notice, need clarification on guidelines, or need extra time to complete a repair, please reach out to us right away! We are happy to work with you.
