The Indian Run Meadows Civic Association is authorized to collect yearly dues as specified in both the deed restrictions and the Association Constitution.  The current yearly dues are $35, and each homeowner is billed in September.  The modest dues go toward upkeep of the common areas, including the front entrance and thirteen cul-de-sacs.  In addition, community activities, newsletters and this website are funded by the dues.  Failure to pay the dues may result in legal action.

Deed Restrictions

The Indian Run Meadows subdivision has certain restrictions which have been legally recorded and established in order to maintain an attractive and desirable subdivision.  Listed below are a few of the restrictions which may assist you in settling questions concerning your property.  If you have any questions regarding proposed changes to your house or property, please contact an Association member.

Please note, these are condensed restrictions.  The full restrictions are available in the Residents Section, or the Franklin County Recorder's website.

The Deed Restrictions for Indian Run Meadows, Section 1, Part 1, were recorded July 8, 1984 in Official Records Volume 4488, Page H-20.  For more information, owners should refer to copies of the recorded deed restrictions.

1. Approval needed for changes: No building, swimming pool, fence, wall, tennis court, hedge or other enclosure or structure of any sort shall be placed on any lot, nor shall any change affecting the outward appearance be made unless in accordance with detailed plans and specifications first approved in writing by the Architectural Control Committee.
