HOA Fees |
We are NOT a traditional HOA,
we are simply a social organization, a non-profit
HA. There are no HOA fees. The Oak Run Homeowners
Association (ORHA) does not own any of the common
areas. They are all owned by Oak Run Associates,
Ltd. (ORA-Ltd), previously known as DECCA, the
developer. The ORHA Board of Directors and various
Officers are in charge of the use and scheduling
of all common area venues. The residents pay a
"Services Fee" (similar to an Amenities Fee) to
ORA-Ltd.
The monthly Services Fee covers weekly garbage and
yard waste pick-up, 24-hour security, basic cable
TV (36 channels with one free DTA), community
Channel-12 TV (info station for clubs, etc.), use
of all facilities, maintenance of all recreational
and common areas. The average services fee is $132
with the lower numbered neighborhoods being the
lowest and the upper numbered neighborhoods the
highest.
There are two types of properties in Oak Run,
regular homesites and 'Maintained' homesites. With
a maintained homesite the services (amenities) fee
includes these extra services: sprinkler system
and the water used; mowing, edging, fertilizing
and weed control of the lawn; trimming and
mulching of the landscaping (unless you alter
something). Villa homesites also include exterior
pressure washing once a year and painting every 5
years. With a regular homesite you're on your own
to provide the above services.
The best way to know what a particular homesite's
Services Fee will be is to contact the listing
real estate agent or the ORA-Ltd offices. There
are so many variables that go into this fee that
it would be extremely difficult to list all
possible fee examples. And, the basic fees
increase as you select premium services such as
internet, phone, extended TV, movie channels, and
HD. Fees are adjusted on a yearly basis to reflect
the average CPI increase for the most recent 12
months.

NAP (now Citizen Patrol)
|
Citizen Patrol is a
crime watch program supervised by the Marion County
Sheriff's Office. It was organized in late 1997 and
early 1998 when a "screwdriver burglar" was busy
burglarizing many communities in Marion County.
Citizen Patrol members patrol all
of Oak Run and specially assigned areas adjacent,
including the Walmart plaza and all the businesses
around it, Timber Ridge and the adjacent area
across the road as far north as the Shell Station on SR-200.
Members are expected to
patrol 2 hours per month and to attend one monthly
meeting (1 hr). The patrol car is provided by the
Sheriff's Office. To become a
member of Citizen Patrol please contact Roger Januchowski at
291-1004.

Wildlife Issues |
If you are having
problems with wildlife you can contact The Florida Fish
And Wildlife Conservation Commission at 732-1225 or
377-5556 or visit their website myfwc.com.
If you
should see a coyote in Oak Run, it is essential that you
do not feed them, as it will create a hazard for
homeowners and small pets. Do not leave your pet's food
outdoors and most importantly, keep your pets on a leash
at all times. If you should see anyone feeding coyotes
or leaving their pet's food outdoors, please call
ORA-Ltd at 352-854-5775-X102 so we can advise them of
the dangers of this behavior.
The Law Enforcement
Division of FWC says there are no laws protecting
coyotes. And, the local (Marion County) animal
control officers will usually not respond to calls
regarding coyotes. It is up to the property owner to
deal with those pests on their property. But, you
can pay a local trapper to catch and put down the
nuisance animals.
If you have concerns about coyotes or would like
more information you can contact the FWC Regional
Office here in Ocala or visit their website at myfwc.com.
Shannon Wright,
Regional Director
1239 SW 10th Street
Ocala, FL 34471
352-732-1225
To report an attack
or other encounter call the FWC Law Enforcement
Hotline at 888-404-3922.
