ARE YOU ARE TRYING TO AMEND YOUR COVENANTS TO BE RID OF THE BURNING TREE MASTER ASSOCIATION? THERE IS GOOD NEWS!!


None of these subdivisions are tied to the Burning Tree Master Association! This can be confirmed by a call to:

• The office of the Secretary of State. (Those who formed the HOAs for the different subdivisions did not make them part of the Master Association, thus they are NOT part of it.)
• Oklahoma Statues require that there must be land (your subdivision has none) and the covenants are to be enforced by the HOA in order to set up an HOA.The 
• Tulsa County Assessors office (ask for Land Records) They have advised that the required document to set up an HOA was never filed for any of the HOAs    It would take 100% of the homeowners in each area acknowledging by their signature that they want a mandatory HOA, since they do no have any land and the HOA cannot enforce any covenants.  (After the way money the BTMA took from homeowners has been thrown away with both hands on things that certain ones wanted to blow it on, who, in their right mind would sign???) And yes, one homeowner made copies of the receipts of things that were purchased.

Further, according to both the BTMA Articles of Incorporation and the Burning Tree Master Association By-Laws it is NOT the homeowner who was ever supposed to be the member!!!
