New Payment Portal and Website. 
Assessment Legal Collection Success! Please note that the Association has retained a law firm to collect past amounts owed.  Our law firm has been successful in the collection process and recently won the first case that ended in litigation in court.

If you have any questions, please get in touch with the Board Secretary at [email protected].
The Board of Directors continues to work diligently to enhance the community. 
Some of the things we have done this year are:
New website and payment portal

• Installed cameras at the pond, office, boat ramp, pool, and the end of Cardinal Ln. 
• The boat ramp was fixed, and gravel was laid for an easier transition from the land to the dock.
• A new deck was put behind the Clubhouse as the old one was so rotted it was dangerous. 
• The fence on one end of the meadow has been replaced. The rest of the fencing and the painting will be completed shortly. 
• The roofs for the pool pavilion and the pump house are complete.

We have had great success collecting assessments during this and last year. Not only did we win a court case, but we also collected the money on that case. Our goal is to continue collecting assessments on all the lots. Once we can collect all the assessments, we can continue improving the community.
We wish to remind the community of some of the rules and ask for your assistance in improving the community.
Shorewood Estates Rules

• Parking Rules: A resolution restricting parking in the community's common areas, including the boat ramp and the pool area, is attached.
• Boat ramp parking and clean up. If your trailer, broken-down boats, jet skis, or any other item is in the common area by the boat ramp, please have it removed by January 31, 2025. The board will tow all remaining items not removed by that date.
• Boat Ramp: The Boat Ramp area is for day use only. Members will no longer be allowed to use the ramp area as a boat trailer storage area.  The parking area above the ramp will be a day-use area for paid members to park their cars and trailers while using the ramp and dock.  
• Amenity area use: only owners in good standing are allowed to use the Boat ramp, the pool, the Clubhouse, and any other common area.
• Annual assessments: All lots are required to pay $200 per year.
