Q. Is there a Homeowner's Association or Property Owner's Association for the Subdivision?
Q. Is there a Homeowner's Association or Property Owner's 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 "homeowner's 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. Is there a Homeowner's Association or Property Owner's 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. Does the county take care of the roads and recreation areas?

WOOD-CHIPPING
Community Effort
All property owners within the BMPOA Sanitary District are eligible for free wood chipping annually. Property owners are highly encouraged to participate in the cleanup as it has a broad impression on the impact a fire event has on our mountain.
Surplus wood chips are typically available to be delivered to homeowner's property during the chipping process free of charge. Additionally wood chips are dumped at either the Lodge Parking area or the dam parking area at Deer Lake and are available for any homeowners that are in need of wood chips. Please us the contact the individual in charge via the CONTACT US link to the right for more information on how to coordinate a woodchip delivery during the chipping process.
Chipping typically occurs in early spring 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.
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.
Homeowners are encouraged to establish a brush pile within 5 feet of the roadside for easy access. Please do not collect anything larger than 8 inches in diameter and 12 feet in length. Getting an early start and continuously collecting brush year round is considered good practice.
Thanks for Your Participation!
