Financial

Where do I make my association payments?

Three payment options are available - automatic deduction from your bank account, payment via on-line banking or payment with a check.

If you sign up for automatic payment, your regular assessment payments will be automatically deducted from your bank account each month.  Click Service Forms to print an ACH Authorization - you can sign-up at any time.

If you pay via an on-line banking service, you must include the association's name AND your account number (located at the bottom center of your payment coupon)) in the "Pay to" line.  Mail payments to the address below.

If you pay by check, mail your check AND your payment coupon to: 

Williamsburg of Birmingham Association
P.O. Box 701880
Plymouth, MI  48170-0972

Do I need to order a payment book?

Payment books are mailed in mid-December to those co-owners who are not using automatic payment service.  If you recently purchased your home, please click Contact Us to request a new coupon book.

When will I receive the annual operating budget for the new fiscal year?

Budgets are typically mailed in mid-December or after the Board of Directors approval.

Administrative

How do I contact the board of directors?

Simply click Contact Us.  Your concerns, comments or compliments will be given to the Board of Directors.  If you wish to address the Board of Directors in person, please request the day and time of the next scheduled board meeting.

How can I obtain the Master Deed and Bylaws?

Click Contact Us to request these documents.  They will be copied for a fee and made available for pick-up.  Please allow 2 days for preparation.

Hint:  These documents may have been given to you at your mortgage closing.  You may wish to review your closing documents before ordering copies.

How can I change our Designated Voting Representative?

Click Service Forms and print, sign and mail the Designated Voting Representative form.  You will also receive this form prior to each annual meeting.

How can I change my emergency information on file?

Click Service Forms to change your personal emergency information or your emergency contacts.

How do I file a complaint about my neighbor?

Please contact the police immediately if you are concerned about your personal safety.

If you wish to file a complaint with the Association, please submit your complaint in writing, not via e-mail.  Herriman & Associates, Inc. will schedule a hearing and notify the (allegedly) offending co-owner.  You will be asked to appear at a board or committee hearing to state your complaint.

How can I obtain proof of the Association’s insurance?

The Association’s insurance agent will provide proof upon request.  Click Contact Us to request the name and phone number of the Association’s insurance agent.

Do I need any property insurance?

Yes, you cannot rely on the Association’s property casualty and liability insurance policies to cover your personal property.  You are urged to consult with your insurance agent.

Can I lease my unit to someone else?

If you are planning to lease your unit, a copy of the lease should be sent to Herriman & Associates, Inc. prior to signing.  Herriman & Associates, Inc. reviews leases for the Association to assure that all leases and rental agreements state that tenants or non-co-owner occupants shall comply with all of the conditions of the condominium documents.

Can I change the exterior of my home?

There are restrictions relative to making modifications to the common elements - the exteriors of buildings, the common grounds and some interior building components.  Click Service Forms and complete a Modification Request.  The Board of Directors must approve your request before you begin any modification.

Will my cat be welcome at the Association?

Yes, but the Association requires registration of all pets and has certain restrictions regarding pets.  Click Contact Us to request a Pet Registration form.

Can I recycle items instead of using the dumpster?

Yes.  Recycling bins for paper, plastic, tin and glass are located at the dumpster locations throughout the community.  Large items should be placed in the enclosure next to the maintenance building. 

Maintenance Information

Should I change my exterior light bulbs?

Yes, co-owners must replace exterior light bulbs at their own unit.

How do I turn on/off my exterior spigot?

Interior valves need to be shut off every fall to prevent pipes from bursting.  The shut off is a two step process - 1) turn off the interior shutoff valve, which is near the exit point to the outside and then 2) open the exterior spigot to allow remaining water to drain out and then shut it off.  In the spring, simply reverse the process.

How do I request maintenance?

Visit Service Forms at www.herriman.net.

Why is my neighbor asking about my utilities?

Your unit may have some shared utility components for your building.  This includes exterior or interior access for telephone panels, water shutoffs, sewer clean-outs, etc.  You may be contacted for access to your unit in the event of a building emergency or to perform routine maintenance.
