Covenant Vote Passed! 
In 2018, FCHA worked toward revising the 1976 covenants that were initially filed with Tulsa County by the developer of the neighborhood. Much has changed since those covenants were written and they were grossly out-of-date lacking modern language. Working with a lawyer, a new declaration was drafted and presented to all homeowners for a vote. The vote passed with 180 Yes votes affirming the new covenants. Twelve homeowners voted No and 163 homeowners did not respond after numerous contacts of emails, ballots left on porches and knocking on doors. The covenant vote needed 178 votes to pass the amendment. With the vote affirmed, the new declaration (or covenants) were filed with the County on Dec. 26, 2019.

What does this mean to you? Most homeowners may never need to review the covenants. When homes are sold, the covenants will be provided to the new homeowner at the closing. Real estate agents will refer to the covenants to see we have voluntary dues and we follow City of Tulsa neighborhood code to ensure the the integrity of the home values and properties. If a homeowner plans an addition to a home, reference to the covenants are required to ensure it follows the guidelines set forth for all homes in the area. 

Also, filed with Tulsa County were the By-Laws of the Forest Creek Homeowners Association. This document explains how the association conducts business related to accounting, records and meetings. ​
Other Reminders
  • Help all of Forest Creek shine by keeping your own property looking good. Violations to City of Tulsa Neighborhood Code can be reported by calling 311 or online at tulsa311.com
  • Please keep household items off the front of the home.
  • Get rid of cars and trailers that are no longer useful and do not use the street or your grass to store them.
  • Keep your grass well maintained and clean up leaves in the yard and at the curb and especially at the sewers.  The big snow of last year did not drain as well as it could have at some locations because of debris at the sewers.
  • If your home backs up to the Harvard or 81st, please make sure trees are maintained. Most every homeowner has easement they take care of, but these homes have the burden of making sure they are maintained on these main streets too.
  • Check in with neighbors and watch for emails during inclement weather. The snowfalls of last year had the board making new decisions about snow plowing that we have never had to make before. We will do our best with the finances available to do as much as we can for everyone's safety.
