BMPOA FAQs
Q. Is there a Homeowners Association or Property Owners Association for the Subdivision?
Q. Is there a Homeowners Association or Property Owners Association for the Subdivision?
Q. Is there a Homeowners Association or Property Owners Association for the Subdivision?
A. The subdivision is administered by the Blue Mountain Property Owner's Association (BMPOA) and is a deed-restricted community: all property owners automatically become members at settlement. The subdivision predates The Virginia Property Owner's Act and is not subject to the act; therefore, a "homeowners packet" is not required to be provided by the BMPOA. However, protective covenants and bylaws apply, are in force, and copies should be provided to the buyer. You can download these documents from our web site at bmpoa.org.
Q. What are the fees or dues for the homeowner's or property owner's association fees?

Q. Is there a Homeowners Association or Property Owners Association for the Subdivision?
A. There are no property owner dues or fees per se. However, in addition to Real Estate taxes, there is a separate Blue Mountain Sanitary District (BMSD) tax. Warren County collects both of these taxes in two equal installments on June 5th and December 5th of each year. Like the real estate tax, the BMSD tax varies depending on the county valuation or assessment of the property.

Q. Is there a Homeowners Association or Property Owners Association for the Subdivision?
Q. Does the county plow and maintain the roads and recreation areas?
A. No. The county turns over the collected BMSD taxes to the BMPOA to pay for maintaining all 15 miles of private roads, all snow plowing, and all recreation area maintenance, liability insurance, etc. The BMPOA accounts for the expenditure of those tax revenues to Warren County.
Q. What if the property owner fails to pay the BMSD Tax?
Q. What if current payoff numbers for these taxes are not accurately reflected in settlement docs?
Q. Does the county plow and maintain the roads and recreation areas?
A. Like real estate taxes, if it is not paid to Warren County in full by the due date, the county assesses penalties and interest. Further, the County has the authority to put a lien against the property -- possibly leading to forfeiture and sale to pay the taxes.

Q. What if current payoff numbers for these taxes are not accurately reflected in settlement docs?

Wood Chipping Info
Chipping typically occurs in early spring (April) to ensure that the majority of severe weather known to cause accumulation of dead fall has passed. The process spans over a week's time and will be announced several weeks in advance. We will post an announcement on the Home Page when this is occurring.
The removal of deadfall in our community plays an important role in mitigating forest fires on our mountain. That is why BMPOA has partnered with the Virginia Department of Forestry to establish a fire mitigation and evacuation plan that offers support ensuring the safety of our community and adjacent communities on Blue Mountain.
If you have questions regarding wood chipping please use the CONTACT ROAD COMMITTEE button on our Contact Us page.
