IMPORTANT REMINDERS
Posted on Feb 23rd, 2026

Cotton Lakes Community,
 
I hope everyone is doing well. It's that time of year when we need to start cleaning up our yard.
 
  1. Let's start with killing the weeds; all they do is smother the grass, preventing it from growing.
  2. Mailboxes, we have some hanging on by a prayer. Let's get the boxes replaced if damaged. If the whole post is broken, you can get one from Doyle Bingham, 334-799-1018; he can help, or you can do it yourself. The box needs a red flag, a mailbox door on the front, and a lot of the boxes just need a can of spray paint. Please, no zip ties to hold it on.
  3. No Parking on the grass in the front yard, you're killing the grass, it's a violation also.
  4. Roofs, we understand how difficult it is to deal with insurance companies. These roofs can't have tarps or anything placed to cover up a hole, except if you are waiting to have a roof replacement scheduled. Please call the HOA number and let us know what's going on. We can keep a log of your home.
  5. No enclosed trailers, utility trailers, or shed boxes in driveways. Keep in the backyards.
  6. Painting your shutters, they have to be either the same color as the original or match the color chart on our Cotton Lakes website. If a shutter falls off, let's keep it put back on.
  7. Cotton Lakes' website has the ARB Information and forms you need to fill out before painting, so together we can make sure everything you do is good to go.
  8. Dogs, when you walk them up at the Common ponds, please take a bag and clean up after them. It's a mess now just to walk around the ponds. Repair your gates so the dogs can't run loose in the neighborhood.
  9. No overnight parking. Make sure all vehicles are in the driveway. Please let us know if you need to park for a night. Someone will be keeping a log for the next step for this violation.
  10. Let's get ready for the 2026 year of the best neighborhood. Everything is on the Cotton Lakes website. Please read about the ARB if you haven't. Thank you all. Please reach out if anyone needs help.
