Frequently Asked Questions
- Will the ID cling be removable?
- Yes, it is removable without any residue as it’s a cling with no glue but will stop ‘sticking’ if removed and replaced too many times, so we suggest keeping it in place.
- Will the ID cling have anything that says Johns Landing or Oakland on it?
- No, there will not be any anything saying John’s Landing or Oakland.
It’s a cling with a picture of a tree and the words Parking Permit in green and an ID number.
The ID number will be linked to you and your address in the HOA database which is private.
- No, there will not be any anything saying John’s Landing or Oakland.
- What is the purpose of the Resident ID?
- This has become necessary due to issues residents have reported with especially non-residents entering the community, utilizing public areas and causing damaging to both community and homeowner property.
It’s difficult for residents to call the police on a suspicious vehicle if they have no idea whether the vehicle belongs in the community or not.
- This has become necessary due to issues residents have reported with especially non-residents entering the community, utilizing public areas and causing damaging to both community and homeowner property.
- Why do I need to provide my insurance policies?
- Insurance policies are the only way the HOA can validate that a vehicle belongs to a resident in the community.
If the HOA is unable to verify that a vehicle belongs to a resident we will have requests from people who do not reside in the community requesting resident ID clings.
And yes, we have had issues with people from other neighborhoods with no affiliation to the John’s Landing community requesting remotes, codes etc.
- Insurance policies are the only way the HOA can validate that a vehicle belongs to a resident in the community.
- Why is the HOA charging for cars in excess of garage space. There are houses that are 5-bedroom homes with a two car garage. Obviously, there would be more than two cars per household if you count the teens driving.
- The HOA is providing ID clings free of charge up to the number of garages on the property.
Any vehicles more than the number of garages will be charged for. The HOA has tried to find a fair and logical way to provide as many clings as possible free of charge to the residents within limits.
