NOTICE TO DOG OWNERS

Greetings, Windsor Mews community. The HOA Board has received multiple complaints in recent weeks regarding dog owners failing to “pick up” after their dogs, including in common areas and in other owners’ yards. While many of us are dog owners and we want this community to remain friendly to our four-legged family members, we do need to ask for owners to please be respectful and follow HOA rules, as well as Fairfax County local ordinances, with respect to our pets. As a reminder:

1) We all share this community and we must treat each other with respect. Leaving pet waste is not only a nuisance, but also a potential health hazard to humans and other pets.

2) Dog owners must not allow your dog to relieve themselves in another owner’s yard. You can use your own yard or common areas (but see item 3 below).

3) If you are walking your dog, please be sure to carry bags at all times and pick up waste immediately after. There is also a bag dispenser and trash can available in the common area along Piney Branch.

4) Failing to follow these rules is a violation of HOA bylaws, and is unlawful under Fairfax County Code Sec. 6-61. Violations are subject to $250 fine.

Thank you for your cooperation and assistance in keeping our community beautiful and your neighbors’ property respected.

Feel free to email the Board (hoaboard@windsormews.org) with any questions or concerns.
