Your annual assessment arrived in the mail . The total assessment has increased by 3.6% . As we discussed at last year’s annual meeting, the Board is aggressively working to reduce our reliance on the Special Assessment by gradually increasing the General Assessment, with the goal of eliminating the Special Assessment entirely by FY29. Assessments are due October 1, and late fees will begin accruing on November 1 for any account that has not been paid in full. 

With many of our outdoor improvement projects now complete, we're excited to begin the next phase of improving one of our most valuable neighborhood assets—our clubhouse.

The Clubhouse Steering Committee will soon begin planning updates to the clubhouse interior, including furnishings, finishes, décor, and ideas that will make the space more welcoming and attractive for residents' use.

We are looking for volunteers with an eye for design, decorating, organization, or simply great ideas. You don't need any special experience, just a desire to help shape a space that serves our entire community. If you're interested, we'd love to have you join the committee.

Our community only succeeds because residents are willing to step up and serve.

We are still in need of a neighborhood watch committee member.  That person would attend when possible neighborhood watch meetings with the Sheriffs department the first Thursday of each month at 6:30 pm. and relay points of interest to our HOA and it's members.  They would also keep a general eye out within the neighborhood and notify law enforcement of suspicious activity and thus would be a point of contact for our HOA members regarding safety concerns via their board email address.

A new KP program is in the works and will launch early July.  Handy Helpers is designed to connect residents who are willing to volunteer their time and skills with neighbors who may need an extra hand. Whether it's replacing a mailbox, changing a light fixture, moving a heavy piece of furniture, trimming small shrubs, installing a smoke detector, or helping an elderly neighbor with simple home maintenance, this program is intended to strengthen the spirit of neighbors helping neighbors. If you'd like to volunteer your talents—or if you occasionally need assistance with a small project—we encourage you to let us know.  

Have you seen a lost pup or kitty in the neighborhood?  Use our pet directory for a quick reference to see how to get them home!  If you would like to register your pet  just fill out our registry form at the bottom of the pet directory.  If you already have your pet on there please fill out the form to update if the info has changed.

The Kelly Plantation Memorial Trees Program was established in 2025 for member homeowners and their families interested in planting trees as living memorials or honorariums. The KPHOA Trees Program is designed to aid in preserving fond memories of past family and friends, honor special individuals or groups, and enhance KPHOA green space.

The KPHOA Board, working with the HOA’s Landscape contractor will select, plant and individually maintain trees at designated areas in the common areas of the HOA. Requests for particular tree species and planting locations will be accommodated when possible but tree selection will be centered around the basic, arboricultural principle of planting the right tree in the right location.

The new trees for the 2026 Memorial Tree Program are in the ground!

If you are interested, please see the tree page on this site. The trees available this year are: Tulip Poplar (qty 2), Willow Oak (qty 1), and Loblolly Pine (qty 2). The 6th tree this year is a Red Maple but has already been claimed by a request from last year. If you have an interest, please reach out to the Board via email at kellyplantationhoaboard@gmail.com. You can also use the Google form from the Memorial Trees page.

As many of you know, the KP Book Club meets the last Thursday of each month (with some exceptions) to discuss that month's selected reading. We chat about characters, perception, laugh about misconceptions, provide opinions and personal stories and so on. We really do have a great time! And we would love for you to join us!  Please check the calendar for meeting dates and times (occasionally they change) and the book club page for the monthly reading list.
