need be registered though the WV clusters board. A sticker is provided to
indicate a registered boat. Acceptable watercraft include: canoes, kayaks,
rowboats and small sailboats. Watercraft should be stored on the boat racks
located on either side of the marina. Gas powered watercraft are not allowed on
Lake Anne. Pontoon boats can be owned by residents with waterfront homes.
Pontoons are not stored in the WV marina. To register a boat or an event at the
marina, contact Lisa Climo at 703-709-6169 lclimo@msn.com
Dues TWC
Association Management bills WV owners for HOA dues quarterly. There is a 10%
late fee for bills paid after 30 days from the due date. Unpaid HOA bills can
result in collection action and liens on the residence. Each year at the annual meeting the cluster
announces the amount of the next year’s HOA dues. Small yearly increases are common to maintain
the required capital reserves. TWC can be contacted at 703-437-5800 and info@twcmanagement.com.
Timely payment of your HOA dues is vital for WV Cluster operations.
