  2. Renter registration with the Park by property owners.

    Should a property owner(s) choose to rent or lease a property, the property owner(s) must register that tenant with the Lakewood Park office. Registration of the tenant allows the tenant to set up a account with the office for the purposes of obtaining a gate pass code for entrance into the park. It also allows the office to be able to notify emergency personnel of their location in the park. The tenant must have the property owner(s) complete the registration and sign it at the office. This ensures the property owners(s) has allowed the tenants access to the property.

Voting Results from March 11, 2023 Property Owners Meeting

  1. Trustee Elected
    • Susie Haluska (Returning trustee)
    • Eddie Fortner
    • Kim Spears
  2. Continue road assessments for $25.00 per year per lot for 3 years starting February 2023.
  3. Change covenants from judicial to non-judicial foreclosure procedures. This allows liens to be placed on past due properties, then proceed with a Sheriff's sale foreclosure. Many of these properties belong to National Development or owners who are either deceased or unable to be located. Being allowed to proceed with this would give us the ability to bring many of these properties into a legitimate ownership, which would add more revenue for the park in yearly fees.
