Re: Road Associations - Anyone have any experience of them?

We were members of the original HOA which wanted to disband, and that was agreed by a majority vote. The original HOA covered a much larger area than our road, but the other roads were public so our...

Re: Road Associations - Anyone have any experience of them?

As you say it's a total mess, mainly because the self-appointed president is power crazy and clueless! The road was owned by an HOA which was in good standing when property was purchased so there...

Re: Road Associations - Anyone have any experience of them?

When we bought the place there was an HOA that covered a lot or properties. That's been disbanded so those of us on the private road now need a road association, which is fine, but the issue is that...

Thanks for the advice. Thinking we'll try talking to one of the neighbours who seems to have been involved in an HOA.

Re: Road Associations - Anyone have any experience of them?

Yes, it's a holiday home, as are around 80% of the properties. As far as we can understand there hasn't been any meetings, elections, etc. as the person who collected the $ keeps promising to set one...

Road Associations - Anyone have any experience of them?

We have a cottage in NH which is on a private road. We had to establish a Road Association with the other properties on the road earlier this year. So far there has been an introductory meeting but...

Re: Buying a car from out of state (or even out of country)

Car is from a dealer so there's a chance they'd do the paperwork, but they're a small independent so it may not be something they do a lot of. The car wouldn't be driven all the time but enough to...

Re: PEI, NB or NS?

Interesting - we were told it was a Moncton specific tax, and that seemed to be supported by the fact that there were a lot more rentals in Saint John. Maybe the property taxes are cheaper there so...

Re: PEI, NB or NS?

Moncton operates a double taxation tenant tax, so we found the rental options much more limited than in Saint John, Halifax, etc.

Re: Emigrate From UK to USA

Canada is nothing like the US, despite being the next door neighbour. Customer service is appalling, prices sky high - despite parity with USD most items are 30%+ higher (and the price tags display...

Re: Help - need a good moving company in Halifax, Truro or Moncton

That's interesting - Thank You. I didn't realise that Pickfords had any branches in the Maritimes. Will do a search and see if I can find their local branch to come in and quote.
