Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions from homeowners at The Glen at Bent Brook. Tap a question to expand it.

Architectural Review (ARC)

Yes. The Glen’s covenants require that exterior modifications — additions, structures, fencing, major landscaping, paint colors, and similar changes — be approved by the Architectural Review Committee before work begins. Submit an Architectural Request Form (available on our Documents page) and wait for written approval.

The committee aims to review complete requests within about 30 days of submission. Providing clear plans, materials, colors, and a site sketch up front helps avoid delays. You’ll receive the decision in writing.

Common examples include room additions, patios and decks, fences, storage buildings, exterior paint color changes, roof replacements, and significant landscaping or grading. When in doubt, submit a request or contact the board before starting.

Dues & Finances

Annual HOA dues are approximately $500 per home. Statements are mailed to homeowners, and the due date is noted on your statement. Watch your mailbox and the Announcements section of our homepage for the current billing.

Dues fund basic association management and the upkeep of common areas — neighborhood entrances, curbed common grounds, and walking paths — that keep The Glen looking its best and help protect property values.

Payment instructions are included with your annual statement. If you need a replacement statement or have a question about your balance, contact the board and we’ll help.

Living in The Glen

Trash and recycling are handled through Jefferson County’s service for our area. Check with the county for your current pickup schedule, and place bins out the evening before or morning of collection. Bins should be stored out of view between pickups.

Rental policies are governed by the community’s recorded covenants. Before listing a home as a short-term rental, review the CC&Rs on our Documents page and contact the board to confirm what’s permitted.

Public streets are maintained by Jefferson County. The HOA maintains the neighborhood’s common areas — entrances, curbed common grounds, and walking paths. If you notice an issue in a common area, let the board know.

The Glen sits directly alongside the award-winning 27-hole Bent Brook Golf Course, a separate public facility. Residents enjoy the scenic setting and easy proximity, though golf membership and tee times are arranged directly with the course.
