What Buyers Should Know
Buying in a private community is different from buying outside one. Beyond the house itself, you are buying into a set of shared roads, amenities, rules, and fees, so it pays to understand them before you make an offer.
Community assessments
The association is funded through yearly community assessments that cover road maintenance, snow plowing, and common-area upkeep. Assessment amounts vary by property, so confirm the current amount with the Sunrise Lake Property Owners Association.
Rules and regulations
The community maintains its own rules and regulations that govern things like property use, rentals, and exterior changes. It is worth reviewing them before you buy.
Water & sewer
Some sections of Sunrise Lake are served by community sewer and water systems, while other properties rely on private wells and sewage mounds. Confirm the setup for the specific home you are considering.
Short-term rentals
Short-term rentals of under 30 days are not permitted in Sunrise Lake. Dingman Township regulates short-term property rentals as a transient use of residential property, and Sunrise Lake properties sit in township zones where they are not allowed. Verify the policy with the POA for the specific property.
Community roads
Roads inside the community are maintained by the property owners association with funds from yearly assessments rather than the township.
Shared amenities
The pool, playgrounds, picnic areas, and lakes are shared community facilities. Confirm how they are accessed and whether any fees apply.
Resale documents
Ask for and review the community's resale and disclosure documents before purchasing, and have your own advisors review them as well.
Established association
The association has been in place since 2009 and is run by a seven-member board of directors, so there is a working structure for questions about assessments, rules, roads, and amenities.
