NOTE TO REAL ESTATE AND TITLE AGENTS:
HOA
There is no mandatory HOA or HOA fee for Tanglewilde, and an HOA has never existed. The deed restrictions are the governing documents for the individual sections, and do not establish an HOA. However, deed restrictions for all eight sections of Tanglewilde remain in full effect.
There was once a voluntary civic club that did business under the name Tanglewilde Property Owners Association (TPOA). It disbanded in 2019 amid controversy.
TRANSFER FEE
The civic club doing business under the name Tanglewilde Property Owners Association (TPOA) once asserted the power to collect a title transfer fee on all properties sold in Tanglewilde. That assertion was always of dubious legal merit, and the now-defunct organization eventually posted publicly that it was an entirely voluntary fee.
Real Estate Agents, Title Agents, and Buyers: No (Title) Transfer Fee should be charged on any property transaction involving Tanglewilde. Please ensure that your records and transactions reflect this reality.
