Frequently asked questions.
Who do I contact if I have an issue, a question, a suggestion, or I want to volunteer?
Please contact Suzanne Ashby at Invest West Management at sashby@iwmhoa.com or (360) 567-4342. She will relay any pertinent information to the Mt Vista Board.
We also encourage you to attend our monthly Board meetings at 6:30pm every third Wednesday of each month.
What do I do if I get a first violation letter?
Please contact Suzanne at IWM at sashby@iwmhoa.com as soon as possible if you have any questions about a first violation letter. Most of the time violations are simply solved by communicating with Suzanne and action is taken to rectify the violation. If you are unclear about the violation, please get clarity by contacting the IWM office so violations are not escalated to second letters and possible subsequent fines.
What is the process to discuss or contest a fine?
We hate to see violations escalate into fines, but should this happen, all homeowners are entitled to discuss or contest the fine at a Board hearing. If you would like to request a Board hearing, please contact Suzanne at IWM at sashby@iwmhoa.com.
