I own two lots — do I get two memberships?

No. One membership, however many lots you own. But votes are counted differently, and that catches people out.

**Membership.** Both the By-Laws and the covenants say the same thing: where one or more lots are under common ownership, that ownership counts as only a single membership in the Association.

**Voting.** Here the rule flips. Each lot carries one vote. So you have as many votes as you own lots.

**Co-owners.** If a lot is owned by more than one person, the lot still gets one vote and only one. It does not get a vote per owner. The covenants say that vote is cast as the co-owners agree among themselves.

There is a related restriction on Board service. If the only thing making you eligible as a member is common ownership of a single lot, you and the other co-owner of that same lot cannot serve on the Board or the Nominating Committee at the same time — where that other co-owner's eligibility rests only on that same lot.

**Assessments** work differently again. Each lot you own is assessed as a primary lot or a secondary lot, according to that lot's own history rather than the order you acquired them — owning two primary lots is common. And to be in good standing, every lot you own must be paid in full.

So: one membership, one vote per lot, one assessment per lot, and all of them have to be current.
