Updated November 2023
There are 713 homes in our community, with four ponds, many park areas, trails and the Chisholm Creek winding through it. All homeowners in Fenwick are automatically members of the Fenwick Homeowners Association.
Almost half of the community lives in a gated area, of which we have two. Fenwick Gated on the east has 170 homes and Fenwick Garden Village on the west has 169 homes. Those who choose to own property in either gated area are members of a second HOA and pay additional annual dues to maintain the gates and private streets. Those HOAs are Fenwick Gated HOA and Garden Village HOA. So residents in these areas are members of BOTH Fenwick HOA and their gated area’s HOA, and pay dues to both HOAs.

What are the annual dues?
Annual dues should be paid by March 1. Please visit the News section of this website to find the most recent dues amount. The amount changes each year based on expected expenses for the upcoming year. The Budget Committee of residents meets each summer/fall and recommends to the Board of Directors the dues amount for the upcoming year.
The annual budget is posted on the bulletin board outside the Clubhouse front door so it is always available for residents’ viewing. The budget for the upcoming year is presented and discussed at the HOA Annual Meeting in November. Around 50% of dues pay for landscaping and grounds, approximately 20% goes to the Reserve fund, and the other 30% are split between administration, pool, clubhouse and utilities.

What is the reserve fund balance?
As of October 31, 2023, the Reserve account balance is $199,891 for replacements and long-term maintenance in the common areas. The largest expenses are dredging the ponds, which is performed every 15-20 years, and the perimeter brick wall.
What major projects are planned? A one-quarter mile section of perimeter brick wall was replaced in 2022-2023, which required a large portion of the reserve fund. We will work the next few years to replenish our reserve fund.
When does the Board meet?
The Fenwick HOA Board of Directors meets on the third Monday of every month (except December) at the clubhouse. The agenda is posted one or two days before here. All residents are invited and encouraged to attend, and there’s a Homeowner Forum at the beginning at each meeting to provide the opportunity for questions, comments and concerns from residents.
When is the Annual Meeting? The Annual Meeting of residents is held in November each year. Information is mailed to homeowners in advance with details of the date and location. Info is also posted in the News section of this website.
Are there pet restrictions? Animals must be contained in your home, behind a fence or on a leash per City of Oklahoma City ordinance. Chickens are not allowed to be raised in Fenwick.
Are short-term leases allowed? The covenants require a minimum 12-month lease.
Are there any current or pending special assessments? There are no current special assessments and none in recent years.
Which rules are most often violated?
The main charge of the HOA Board is to enforce our covenants and rules, which are designed to protect and preserve the community, as well as our property values. To achieve this goal, the HOA sends a series of written notices to inform members of any issue in conflict with our rules and covenants. View the full rules document here and below is a list of the five most common problems/violations.
Weeds & Overgrown Flowerbeds: Weed prevention is a particular concern as weeds quickly spread from one property to others. Weed control and landscape maintenance is a year-round process. It is much easier to prevent a weed problem than to treat it after the fact. Flowerbeds and tree rings should be maintained to prevent grass and weeds from taking hold. Please be sure you are consistently doing your part to maintain your lawn and landscape, as this directly affects the appearance of your property – and our entire community.
Trash Bin Storage: Trash bins and recycle bins should be stored in an area out of sight if your property has a fence. Suggested locations are in your garage or your backyard behind the fence or behind a trash storage corral. If a lot has no fence, bins must be placed at least 3 feet behind the front of the building.
Vehicle Parking: Parking of any vehicle on Fenwick streets overnight is prohibited. Also, at no time shall a vehicle be parked on or over any part of any Fenwick sidewalk. Blocking the sidewalks, forcing adults and children to walk into the street, is a safety issue and against City law.
Signs: No signs of any kind advertising the sale of any goods or services shall be displayed on any lot. This includes weed spraying signs, remodeling signs, roofing company signs, etc. Real estate signs advertising the sale/lease of a home are permitted but must be no larger than 18″x24″ (standard size).
Notice of Violations: Notices are mailed to the homeowner’s address on record. (Tenants also receive notice if the homeowner’s address of record is not the same as the Fenwick property address.) The first notice is a friendly reminder that describes the issue and requests prompt correction. If the issue persists, a second notice is sent with a warning. It also signals a potential fine in the absence of correction. Finally, as a last resort, a third letter is issued and a $100 fine is imposed. The HOA prefers to avoid fining members but will do so if rule violations are not corrected. Unpaid dues, late fees, or fines will result in loss of Fenwick privileges, including access to the swimming pool and clubhouse rental.
Are you planning a modification or installation on your property?
Are you about to paint your house a different color, replace the roof, or build a shed or tall playground structure in the backyard? Before you break out the power tools or call the contractor, be sure to submit your plans to the HOA Architectural Committee.
The committee’s job is to make sure that the size and style of a project, the building materials and the overall appearance fit the association’s design requirements. The architectural committee looks out for the entire community – including you – by curbing neighbors who might block your view or erect an unsightly structure.
If the Architectural Committee finds issues we’ll work with you to come up with acceptable alternatives. Also, if an approved design changes, let the committee know; submit revised plans as soon as possible.
If you undertake a building project without the association’s approval, you may have to remove the structure at your own expense. The association has the legal authority to enforce the architectural requirements, so save money and headaches by getting approval before building.
Submit your architectural application online or print a PDF form to turn in with your plans. Thank you for partnering with the Architectural Committee to keep your home and our community looking great.
