What is a Resale Certificate (previously called a Disclosure Packet) and how do I get one?

The Property Owners Association Act, Commonwealth of Virginia Statute, Title 55, Chapter 26 is one of the basic guiding documents of the Rivers Knoll Home Owners Association. The Act applies to the owner of each lot in Rivers Knoll. It requires that the seller of each lot in a development such as Rivers Knoll provide the buyer of such lot with a statement and set of documents that apply to the development. The Resale Certificate includes information on the Association and the current status of the lot, including dues status and whether any violations of the Articles of Incorporation, By-laws or Restrictive Covenants exist.

The request for the Resale Certificate should be emailed to: riversknollhoa@gmail.com

The $50 check can be sent to:

Rivers Knoll Home Owners Association
Attn: Resale Certificate Committee
P.O. Box 151
Wicomico Church, VA 22579

The fee for the Resale Certificate is $50.00. The certificate is valid for three months from the date of issue. A renewal certificate may be obtained after that time. The cost of the renewal certificate is $15.00. The check should be made payable to “Rivers Knoll Home Owners Association,” and should accompany a written request specifying the lot involved. If multiple lots are involved, a separate certificate (at $50.00 each) is required for each lot. The Association reserves the right to modify the Resale Certificate fee. If there is an anticipated buyer, the request should also include the name and address of the anticipated buyer, if known, and the approximate date the transfer of ownership is expected to occur.
