Ways to be a Good Neighbor

Here is a list of some general rules to keeping your property and the neighborhood looking good, and your neighbors happy.

• Keep your house trim/woodwork painted
• Seal, repair, replace your driveway if needed
• Store your garbage cans in the proper area
• Keep your lawn mowed
• Fertilize and control your weeds
• Pick up after your dog (especially in common areas and your neighbors yard)

For more information, refer to the Colony Lakes Homeowners' by-laws and/or the city of Aurora website available from our Community Info page.

Selling Your Home?

Are you planning on selling your home in Colony Lakes? Remember to request your Paid Assessment Letter and Property Inspection Release. You MUST give the Homeowners Association at least 21 days notice to complete your request. You may submit your request to board@colonylakes.us.

Pond Usage

Just a reminder that NO ONE in the community is permitted to swim in the ponds, boat on the ponds, or fish on the ice. Fishing is allowed from the shoreline only.

These rules are published in the governing documents that can be found on the Association Documents page. Thank you for your cooperation.

Colony Lakes Homeowner's Association Meetings

It is important that all homeowners attend the Colony Lakes Homeowner's Meetings. There are many topics that are discussed and brought to the table. Your input and understanding of the current events in the community are important to you and the board.

City Permit Approval Changes

It has recently come to the Board's attention that if you need a City of Aurora permit to do anything to your yard or house, like a fence or shed, they will require you to get approval first by your homeowner's association. This is a requirement that applies to the entire city of Aurora.

Please keep in mind that you can contact the board at colonylakes@hotmail.com with any questions or concerns.

Think Before You Drain!

Please remember that the storm drains at the curbs lead to our ponds. It is unlawful to let oil, paint, or any other toxic chemicals go into these drains. This will help our community!
