Your Current Board of Directors were duly elected at the General Homeowners Meeting in March of 2025

Board of Directors

The Board of Directors for our community was established at the time of the acceptance by both the State of Florida and Orange County of the covenants and conditions for Majestic Woods Community. A quick note here to explain the difference in terminology between Majestic Oaks and Majestic Woods Community.  The original idea was to name this community Majestic Woods, then later as trees were cleared to accept the roads and clear the lots for home construction, a large number of those trees were taken down. The Builder and Developer then decided to highlight as many of the remaining large Oak trees as possible and then the name of the community was changed for marketing purposes, to Majestic Oaks. This marketing change was done after all the paperwork was completed and submitted to the State for final approval. Name differences and changes are not uncommon throughout the State and many of the name changes were dictated by adjustments in the marketplace. Your Board has the responsibility to monitor the community in an effort to maintain and enhance, when possible, the look and value of every home within our community. The Board in no way is a police agency. For example, we do not respond to calls of loud parties, in fact one or more of us may already be there. Criminal matters should be reported to the Sheriff's office either through the use of 911 if an emergency or their non-emergency phone number. We have an elected Board, in accordance with the recorded covenants, to maintain the common areas, enforce the condition restrictions and collect, maintain, and then budget the revenue generated through the collection of annual assessments. The State requires either a Board of Directors and/or management through an outside agency for the value protection of revenue and property. If we did not have resident Board members, we would be forced to hire a Management Company to complete the required paperwork, enforce the covenants and budget expenses. Although many companies exist for this purpose, the cost and fees would have to be paid by each resident and would most assuredly result in a drastic increase in the annual assessment. Assessments would easily double or triple for each resident just to pay the fee charged for this type of management. The other alternative would be to join the Orange County Community Association in which a County Board would direct collection of assessments and schedule monthly maintenance of our community. Most communities that are currently members share a pool of maintenance crews for grass cutting etc. resulting in no choice of contractors and contracts are granted on lowest bid price and not performance. As in the majority of county run activities, personal input is ignored or not considered This is the reason each and every resident owes a debt of gratitude to neighbors willing to give up their time and effort to serve on your Board of Directors. This dedication has saved each resident thousands of dollars in assessments and fees through the years. However, this savings is not automatic nor guaranteed. Your savings is dependent upon neighbors willing to get involved in our community. Perhaps not today, but someday you may be called on to do your part to serve on the Board.

“It is not more bigness that should be our goal. We must attempt, rather, to bring people back to the warmth of community, to the worth of individual effort and responsibility, and of individuals working together as a community, to better their lives and their children’s future” ROBERT F. KENNEDY
