 How many homes are there in Four Seasons?
There are 256 single-family homes in the community.
Is Four Seasons at Farmington a condominium community?
Yes. The word “condominium” refers to a form of shared ownership of real property, which is typically divided into areas called “Units,” “Common Elements,” and “Limited Common Elements.”
In most condominiums, the Units consist of the interior airspace in a multi-unit building and the structure of the building, including all exterior components, are common elements maintained by the condominium association. Four Seasons at Farmington is different.
At Four Seasons at Farmington, the Units consist of a small lot, a single-family home built on the lot, and certain appurtenances, for example, driveways that may extend beyond the lot. The lots are defined by a line shown on a Plot Plan for each Unit. The Common Elements consist of all the lands, improvements, and facilities other than the Units. Four Seasons does not have any Limited Common Elements.
What are the condominium fees? What do they include?
The Condominium Owners Association (COA) fees for 2025 are $406 per month paid by each Unit owner. Direct debit service is available through the property management portal.
COA fees include lawn care, some landscaping, snow removal, and trash/recycling collection services, capital reserve fund contributions and use of all community amenities.
COA fees fund a monthly contribution to the Capital Reserve Fund (CRF). The CRF provides for major repairs and replacements of capital assets and minimizes the need for special assessments.
Are there any special costs I should be aware of when buying a unit?
A capital contribution of $3,500 is collected from each buyer at closing. Two months of COA fees are also collected in advance.
Is the Condominium Association responsible for maintenance of my unit?
Unit Owners are solely responsible for maintenance, repair, and replacement of the entirety of their respective Units, including all exterior components (e.g., roofs and siding), and appurtenances. The appurtenances include utility runs between the Home and the point of connection to the utility-owned supply line, and driveways, walkways, decks, and patios, even though some portions of those things may extend beyond the boundary of the lot.
Does the Association carry insurance on my unit?
All Units and the Common Elements are insured against fire and numerous other causes of casualty loss under a master insurance policy maintained by the Association. The Association is the “named insured” under the master policy; each Unit is identified as an insured structure. Unit Owners are not personally insured, or identified as “named insureds” under the master policy. The Association’s coverage is subject to a deductible of $25,000.00 applicable to each claim. Coverage for “replacement costs,” based on “original specifications,” is provided. So-called “improvements and betterments” are not covered.
Should I buy insurance for my unit?
The Association does not provide specific advice regarding what types and limits of coverage residents should purchase. The Association does not require Unit Owners to carry insurance; however, the Association strongly recommends that Unit Owners do so. The Association strongly recommends that residents confer with an insurance advisor who is knowledgeable about coverage for condominium owners. In addition, the Association strongly recommends that residents inform their insurance advisor that Four Seasons is unique in that Unit Owners are responsible for maintenance, repair, and replacement of all exterior components of the Unit, in addition to the interior and contents of the Home. In addition, residents should inform their insurance advisor about the insurance provided by the Association, including the deductible and the fact that “Improvements and Betterments” are not covered under the Association’s master policy.
Are there limits on occupancy of a unit?
We do not have a limit on the number of residents per Unit, but they must be 19 or older and must be related to the homeowner.
Are there rules that govern what I can and cannot do?
Our governing documents contain rules and restrictions that you agree to when you purchase a Unit. Buyers should review these documents before finalizing the purchase of a Unit. Please refer to the Homeowner Handbook of Rules & Standards under the Association category for more information.
Am I allowed to plant a tree in my front yard?
Trees and shrubs may be added/changed in the front mulch planting beds. Advance approval is required from the Architecture & Landscape Committee (ALC).
Can I modify or extend the patio of my unit?
Yes, but it must be within the designated condo boundary lines shown on the Unit’s plot plan. An ALC application and prior approval is required. Please refer to the Homeowner Handbook of Rules & Standards under the Association category for more information.
