Thank you to everyone who shared their feedback and thoughtful insight for the 2018 Homeowner Survey.
At the Annual Meeting in May 2018, the OHHA Board of Directors sought homeowner feedback on two important topics for Oak Hills:
(1) short-term rentals
(2) prospective future HOA projects
Homeowners were asked to provide survey input, only once per household, and the online survey was communicated through email, the website, Facebook, HOA Board newsletter, and at monthly Board meetings. In addition to answering questions, there were multiple opportunities for homeowners to provide comments and direct feedback to the Board.
This survey has provided the Board with reliable data to use in consideration of potential action for these important topics in Oak Hills.

Survey Questions
SHORT-TERM HOME RENTALS
A short-term rental, or vacation rental, is the renting out of a furnished home, apartment or condominium for a short-term stay, usually less than 30 consecutive days. Well-known short-term rental providers include: AirBnB and VRBO.
Why does this topic important?
An issue of current interest to many homeowners, as shared at monthly meetings, is what effect short-term rentals, such as those advertised through AirBnB, VRBO, etc., might have on the Oak Hills neighborhood environment, property values, and our community. Current CCRs only prohibit commercial activities which are both apparent and objectionable (such as excessive noise and vehicle traffic at residential homes).
Q: What’s your opinion on short-term vacation rentals in Oak Hills (as defined: advertised rental of less than 30 consecutive days)?
(1) We should NOT impose any new rules that potentially prohibit/regulate homeowners using their homes for short-term rentals.
(2) Short-term rentals should be further regulated in addition to current CCRs, which are not effective at limiting most short term rental activities.
(3) Short-term rentals should be PROHIBITED in Oak Hills.
Q: How would you feel having a short term rental(s) on your block?
(1) Not an issue.
(2) Moderately uncomfortable.
(3) Very uncomfortable.
Q: Do you believe that living next to or near a short term rental property impacts your own property value?
(1) Yes, in a positive manner.
(2) Yes, in a negative manner.
(3) No, in a positive manner.
(4) Not at all - neutral.
Q: Would you consider possibly renting your house?
(1) Yes, in long-term rentals for one-year minimum duration.
(2) Yes, including short-term advertised vacation rentals.
(3) Yes, in short-term unadvertised rentals, such as exchange programs or for visiting coaches, etc.
(4) I would never rent my house.
Q: If OHHA were to introduce a limit on the amount of time for a short-term rental, would you support…?
(1) A 30 day minimum
(2) A 14 day minimum
(3) A 7 day minimum
(4) No minimum.

Comments from "qualified" survey responses are provided. These comments do NOT include associated homeowner contact information.
