What Buyers Should Know
Buying in a private lake community is different from buying outside one. Beyond the house itself, you are buying into a set of shared lake, amenities, rules, and fees, so it pays to understand them before you make an offer.
Community dues
The Walker Lake Shores Landowners Association manages the community, and the official site does not publish a single dues figure. Assessment amounts vary by property, so confirm the current amount with the association for the specific home you are considering.
Rules and regulations
The community's rules and regulations are compiled in the association's Redbook (Red Handbook). They cover property use, pets, lake access, and more, so it is worth reading them before you buy.
Rental policies
Rental policies are set by the community association and can change. Verify the current policy directly with the Walker Lake Shores Landowners Association before relying on it.
Resale documents
Ask for and review the community's resale and disclosure documents before purchasing, and have your own advisors review them as well.
Well & Septic
Individual wells and septic systems.
Lake access and use
The lake is managed by the WLLA Lake Committee with a professional lake management company. Confirm current access, rules, and any fees with the association for the specific property you are considering.
Property upkeep
The association's rules include maintaining ditch lines and culverts adjacent to your property and following the Redbook's building requirements. Review the full set of rules before you buy.
