    What trees are the HOA responsible for?

    Flints Grove HOA owns an indeterminate number of trees along the Trail and in all HOA common areas.  

    The HOA is responsible for:

    • The removal of dead HOA trees compromising the safety of HOA members walking along the common areas trail.  Once taken down such trees will be cut in several sections and left on site
    • The removal of HOA trees impacted by storms or which could fall on top of homeowner’s properties

    The HOA is not responsible for:

    • Branches from HOA Trees leaning toward/overhanging homeowner’s properties. 

    Homeowners are responsible for:

    • The removal of overhanging branches from HOA trees on their properties. 

    See the Trees section on our Information page for further information. 

    What trees are Montgomery County responsible for?

    Certain maple trees that line Flints Grove Lane are Montgomery County trees. While physically residing squarely within a homeowner’s property such trees are on the County’s right-of-way. Therefore, Declaration Rules do not apply to such trees and homeowners are requested not to remove these trees, as they are the sole responsibility of Montgomery County.

    See the Trees section on our Information page for further information.
