Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) are the cornerstone of an HOA’s governing documents. They set out the rules for the community, describing the requirements and limitations related to property use. Bylaws govern how the HOA operates as an organization. 

Rule and Regulations expand upon and explain the rules set forth in the Covenants. View our Rules and regulations here:  https://www.pioneer-trails.org/rules-regulations

When in doubt, ask if approval is needed for your project. Send your inquiries to our Community Association Manager, Tom Gish at Port Gardner Management, Inc., tgish@portgardnermgmt.com

Common projects include new siding, sheds, exterior painting, fencing, and roofing. However, any project that alters the exterior of a home or property may require approval.
