Mowing
of Unimproved Lots
To
sign up to have your UNIMPROVED lot mowed, Terramar Beach HOA asks that you sign
up and pay directly with Beach Town Lawn Service(BTLS) or with your own
lawn service. If you select to use BTLS, they will continue to honor the
prior annual set fee of $300 for 24 mows.
To
sign up for the service with BTLS, you must email BTLS directly at terramarlotmowing@gmail.com
or by calling their office at 409-766-0942.
BTLS will then invoice you directly where you can pay by Paypal or by
mail.
Do
not send your payment for lawn service with your HOA dues.
This
service is not mandatory but as a reminder, you are required to keep the
lot maintained per the deed restrictions under 4" in height and the City
of Galveston's Marshals office surveys our community weekly and is known for
sending failure to comply letters to those that do not maintain their
lots.

Water Meter - Be Prepared
When not using your home for an extended period it
is prudent to turn off the water to the home to prevent possible damage in case
of a leak or burst pipe. Owners are charged for any water that runs
through a water meter, even if there is a leak.
To prepare for a tropical storm or hurricane please
turn your water off at the meter. In a storm situation where
water is left on, the owner would be charged for the water. If there are
multiple homes with leaks due to damage, there could be low or no water
pressure for all homes.
Also in case of a storm please secure your garbage can and other loose object
around your home.

If you have any

it on the vacant lots across the street or next door to them. It sits
there forever and eventually has to be removed by someone before the vacant lot
can be mowed.
