Welcome to the Farmington Woods Homeowners' Association Website!
All homeowners (regular homes and townhomes/villas) in the Farmington Woods subdivision are required to be members of the Farmington Woods Homeowners Association (FWHA). All members are subject to the FWHA annual assessment which is used to cover maintenance, repair, and replacement of the perimeter and entryway island fencing, landscaping, lighting, and signage. Details about the dues and annual meeting are provided later on this page.
The FWHA was established to enforce the Articles of Incorporation of FWHA, Inc, By-Laws of FWHA, Inc., and Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions and Easements for Farmington Woods. These governing documents are provided below. The FWHA Board of Directors is a group of volunteer members elected to carry out the mandates in the governing documents.

FWHA News & Resources
Keep Informed - Newsletters
We provide newsletter updates a couple of times a year via email and on this website.
Fall 2021 – FWHA Newsletter - September 25, 2021
As October approaches, it’s time to remind all homeowners about relevant neighborhood topics and covenant requirements. The full covenants are available below.
Perimeter Fencing & Landscaping
The perimeter fence has been installed. (Reminder: this fence belongs to the homeowners association and not to the property owners who border the perimeter.) Our landscaping efforts are finally underway. We hired Roberts Nursery, and they are currently working on the Decatur entrance island and the corner monument at 156th & Blondo. You will see the addition of drought resistant plants/shrubs in the coming weeks.
Campers, Boats, & Trailers
Refer to Article 1, section 7 of the covenants, which states that no boat, camper, trailer, auto-drawn or mounted trailer of any kind, mobile home, truck, aircraft, camper truck or similar chattel shall be maintained or stored on any part of a Lot (other than in an enclosed structure) except that during the months of May through September vehicles may for no more than 15 days be parked in the driveway only. Now that it is October, none of these vehicles are permitted to be stored outside on lots or in driveways. If you are a homeowner with one of these items in your driveway, please find an appropriate storage location for your camper, boat, or trailer by October 1, 2021.
Trash Can Storage
Article I, Section 8 states that trash receptacles cannot be stored outside your structure. Whether you use the city trash services or a private contractor, trash cans, yard waste cans, and recycling bins must be stored inside your structure except on trash pickup day. You may place your trash cans outside/on your driveway the night before or day of trash pickup. Please return trash/recycling bins to an appropriate inside storage location following trash pickup.
Above Ground Pools Must Be Stored
If you were approved for an above ground pool, the summer season is now officially over. As stated when your pool was approved, the FWHA requires that your above ground pool be taken down and stored inside your structure during the off season. Please do so by October 1, 2021. If you intend to reconstruct the pool in a different location than the previous year, please seek approval from the FWHA Board next season by submitting location plans. You will also need to abide by any requirements of the Douglas County Health Department.
Home/Lot Construction Approval
All architectural improvements to homes and lots must be approved by the Board of Directors before the project begins. If you have started a project without prior approval, contact the board immediately.
The following list provides a few common improvements that require approval. This list is not all-inclusive and is intended to provide examples only. When in doubt, contact us before you begin work.
• Adding onto your structure
• Adding a new patio area, deck, paved area, or fence
• Changing the material/layout of your existing exterior to a new material or layout (Note: Repairs/maintenance of existing siding/shingles/decks/patios/driveways/fences/retaining walls using the same colors and types of material do not require our approval.)
• Changing your exterior house color (Reminder: Article 1, section 4 of the covenants states that exterior paint must be a subdued earth tone. Submit color codes/paint brand to us for review before painting.)
• Changing your exterior siding style or shingles
• Major landscaping improvements
Simply email your plans to board@fwhaomaha.com. We aim to review requests within a few days.
Note
If you have special circumstances that prevent you from complying with our covenants by the dates listed in this newsletter, please contact the FWHA Board.
