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 WWW.BMPOA.ORG.

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 homeowners property during the chipping process free of charge. Additionally wood chips are dumped at 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 weeks 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!
