Villages at Back Creek

 The Board of Directors for the Villages at Back Creek has adopted an updated version of the Parking Regulations, effective immediately for the 2025 calendar year. This update follows an extensive review of community parking concerns, including limited space availability, improper use of visitor areas, and the storage of inoperable or commercial vehicles within the neighborhood.

Over the past year, the Association has received an increasing number of complaints and reports of vehicles parked in restricted areas, guests occupying assigned spaces, and oversized or commercial vehicles remaining on-site for extended periods. These issues have created safety concerns, limited access for emergency vehicles, and contributed to the overall strain on available parking resources.

In response, the Board—after consultation with management and legal counsel—has implemented a revised set of parking regulations to better protect the community, preserve property values, and ensure consistent enforcement. The new regulations clarify what types of vehicles are permitted, where residents and guests may park, and how violations will be addressed.

Residents are strongly encouraged to read the complete and official policy outlined below in full. These regulations are binding for all homeowners, tenants, and guests. Compliance will be strictly enforced by the Association, and vehicles in violation may be towed at the owner’s expense without prior notice.
