Membership History
Unlike some neighborhoods, Saddle Creek had a a voluntary membership Homeowners' Association until July 2003. 

When a neighborhood coverts to "permanent membership HOA" from a "voluntary HOA", homeowners are given a choice to commit their home and join the association. No one can be forced to join.

If someone chooses to join and signs the contract, which is filed with the county, the home is PERMANENTLY committed to the association and MUST pay the annual association dues and the home is subject to all covenants and rules of the HOA. This commitment is with the HOME and follows the house to any new owners upon resale. 

In 2007 the Members approved (by a 2/3rds majority) to add an additional level of Permanent Members, and the Associate Membership was made available.

Membership FAQs
What information do I share when selling my home? 
If you are a Member or have Grandfathered/Conveyed your home to permanent membership, you should disclose this information when selling your home. Please discuss with your attorney and real estate agent.

If you are not a Member or have not Grandfathered/Conveyed your home, you should disclose that your home is not a Member of the Homeowner's Swim/Tennis association.

If you are not a Member or have not Grandfathered/Conveyed your home, you cannot list your home on the MLS with the amenities of HOA/Swim/Tennis.

What if I don't join? 
If you don't join, you are under no obligation to the HOA nor the HOA rules and regulations. Along with that, the HOA is under no obligation to you. You do not have a vote in board elections, you do not have a vote on how money is spent, and you can not use the amenities or facilities or join as a "seasonal" member. 

What about the new owner, if I sell my house and I am not a member? 
"Membership follows the house". If you sell your house, the new owner will NOT be a member of the HOA but will have the choice to join. New members must pay an initiation fee of $400. If a new homeowner joins within 90 days of closing, they can join at a 50% reduction in the initiation fee. 

How many houses are Permanent? 
There are about 509 homes in SC and 240+ homes signed up for permanent membership and the number is growing.
