QLCA Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Does Queens Lake have an HOA?
    A: There is not an HOA for Queens Lake Development, however, there is a Community Association which acts more as a social club for the neighborhood. Queens Lake Community Association (QLCA), thru membership dues, maintains the community properties and hosts social events throughout the year. QLCA’s properties include the lake, marina, clubhouse, tennis courts, pools, playground, field and common areas. The Marina, Pools, and Lake Access require additional fees to the annual membership dues. Members of QLCA who live in Queens Lake volunteer their time to run the various committees which maintains the neighborhood amenities.
  2. Is membership in QLCA mandatory?
    A: It depends. If your property has been deeded, then you are obligated to maintain your Deeded membership and pay annual dues. If your property is not deeded, you may elect to join QLCA as a Deeded member or Traditional member and pay annual dues to maintain membership in good standing. Likewise, if you are renting within the neighborhood, you may join as an Associate member and pay dues each year like other memberships.
