My apologies...I have been so busy working lots of OT that our group is just now getting these back to you. We will finish getting the by-laws and anything else to you as quickly as we can. Thanks for posting and all the incredible work everyone is doing in all the neighborhoods.
Burning Tree East Covenants
PLAT 3741
Very important for all in the Burning Tree East Area to note: Burning Tree East has two areas according to these Covenants. Even though they share Covenants the Covenants state they are to each have their own Area Homeowners Association. (That would mean they are not a part of the Area #5 Association, would need to have their own corporation filed with the Secretary of State and set up their own by-laws. No records have ever been found by any agency, saying any of this was ever done.)
- Area #5 Lots 5-11, Block 1; Lots 1-18 Block 2; Lots 9-44, Block 3
- Area #6 1-4 block 1; Lots 1-3 Block 3;& Lots 1-13 Block 4 (If you live in this area you do NOT have a corporation set up as an HOA, according to the Secretary of State. DO NOT BE FOOLED INTO BELIEVING OTHERWISE!!!)
Here is how you check:
- Click here:Property Search — Tulsa County Assessor
- Accept it and then go in under subdivision Burning Tree East
- Look for your name
- under legal description get your lot and block
- See which Area (Area #5 or Area #6 ) you are in by looking at the top of this page. If you are in Area #6 remember, you do NOT belong to any HOA.
Here is
what the Secretary of State has for Area #5. But there is nothing found for those living in Area #6. Thus, while some of us own property in what should have been in Area #6 there is no HOA . This means we NEVER should have been assessed by either Burning Tree East or Burning tree Master Association. Yet, some of our neighbors had liens put on, unlawfully!

You will note that the By-Laws for Burning Tree East state in ARTICLE III MEMBERSHIP
Every owner of lots described in Paragraph 3 of Article II shall be a member of the corporation since the ones listed above do not have lots there they cannot be members.
