What is the Tahoe Donner Property Inspection Program?

If you are looking to buy a home, condo, or lot in Tahoe Donner, you might want to ask what is the Tahoe Donner Property Inspection Program? Does every property have to have one?  Is it just for homes, or do condos have to complete the Tahoe Donner Property Inspection Program too?

What is the Tahoe Donner Property Inspection Program?

What is the Tahoe Donner Property Inspection Program? The Tahoe Donner neighborhood is a master planned community with all property located within its boundaries subject to the home owner association rules, regulations, convents, by-laws, and other governing documents.

As part of their home owner rules, all properties are expected to maintain their exterior appearance and should not be in violation of must comply with the Architectural Standards Office standards, which includes compliance activities to ensure all home owners continue to meet the HOA standards.

Since the Tahoe Donner Association was started in 1971, there are older properties in the development and there are new construction properties.  All properties are expected to be maintained, and to follow the HOA rules.   Currently there are:

  • 5,791 single family lots (4,983 developed)
  • 127 multiple family lots (condo developments of which 114 are developed)

The goal of the Homeowner Property Inspection Program is to preserve the appearance of Tahoe Donner homes so as to maintain home values in an aging community, but it is a large development, so how do your inspect on an on-going basis?

In 2012 the Tahoe Donner HOA established a program that would begin the annual review of approximately 250 homes in a unit.  The subdivision has 11 units (sections) and the inspection program began in Section 7.

The exterior inspections began with 250 home in the identified section and then added inspecting the Tahoe Donner after a property transfer (sale).

Each year between the systematic review of homes in the identified section, combined with the inspection of homes being transferred/sold, they believed they would review between 250-500 annually, so over a period of time, all properties in the community would be inspected.

Just so there is no confusion, the Tahoe Donner Property Inspection is not in place of the Buyers’ Home Inspection, which is a separate type of inspection and will look at the exterior, as well as the interior condition of the home.

A Buyers’ home inspection is not in place of, but in addition to the Tahoe Donner Property Inspection program.

What does the Tahoe Donner Property Inspector look for on their exterior property inspection?

  • Does the structure have any damage?
    • Is structure in need of staining, or painting?
  • Quality of roof
    • Any maintenance needed; missing shingles?
    • Does metal roof need repainting?
    • Chimney cap, or flashing need maintenance?
  • Garbage Can Enclosure (GCE), or Animal Resistant Garbage Can Enclosure (ARGCE – also known as your bear box for your garbage)
    • Is there an ARGCE or wooden enclosure?
    • Maintenance issues?
    • Does structure need painting or staining?
  • Is exterior lighting complaint?
    • Are any fixtures broken, or in disrepair?
    • Are flood lamps aimed downward?
  • Are all visible deck, or stair brackets painted?
  • Check for any illegal structures (additions, fencing, sheds, etc…)
  • Does gas meter have adequate protection from potential snow load? If meter already has a shed for protection, is it painted to blend in with the house?
  • Tahoe Donner Buyer Tip 1 – As part of your offer you can ask the seller to request the Tahoe Donner Property Inspection.  You can also negotiate as to who pays for what, if items are noted for correction and when those corrects need to be completed.
  • Tahoe Donner Buyer Tip 2 – If you think you might be in a multiple offer situation, as a buyer you can waive the Tahoe Donner Property Inspection during the escrow period, knowing it will be done after the sale/transfer has been completed and as the new owner you’ll be responsible for any repairs needed.
    • As a buyer you have contract options and it may be smart to take on any corrections items after the close of escrow, especially during a hot sellers’ market.
    • Waiving the Tahoe Donner inspection during escrow may put your offer in a better position over other buyer offers that ask for the seller to complete the inspection and pay for corrections.

What happens after the Tahoe Donner Property Inspection has been completed?

  • If no work is needed, they will notify you that the property passed, and no additional action is needed.
  • If there are items to be corrected, those items will identified, and a time period to fix the items.

If you are looking to buy a condo in Tahoe Donner, the HOA, is responsible for the common areas and exteriors and they will deal with the inspection process on your behalf if required.

If you don’t want to be part of an HOA that enforces the rules, follows-up on potential violations, and tries to maintain their rules, along with enhancing property values, then the Tahoe Donner community may not be the right property option for you.
