HOA Stormwater Compliance & BMP Maintenance
The Problem
Most HOA Stormwater Systems Are Out of Compliance — And Nobody Knows It
Stormwater BMPs (Best Management Practices) are often “out of sight, out of mind.” But when inspections happen — and they are happening more frequently — violations can trigger massive, unplanned costs.
Why HOAs Are Getting Hit Hard:
Local governments are under pressure to enforce long-standing federal stormwater laws.
Most property managers and reserve specialists don’t realize BMPs require active maintenance.
Remediation and erosion repairs are rarely budgeted — and often exceed six figures when issues go undetected.
This is why HOAs are seeing more Notices of Violation (NOVs) than ever.
What’s at Stake
Once You Receive a Notice of Violation (NOV), You’re Already Behind
The consequences escalate fast:
Fines up to $2,000+ per day
Mandatory emergency repairs
Legal exposure and liability for board members
Disruption to HOA operations and resident communication
Lasting environmental harm to lakes, ponds, and natural areas
Every one of these outcomes is preventable with early detection and proper documentation.

Why BMPs Matter
Stormwater BMPs Are Critical Infrastructure — But Easily Neglected
Stormwater isn’t just rain — it’s a carrier of pollution, erosion, and potential liability.
Without proper BMP maintenance, your HOA faces:
Toxic runoff and water contamination
Flooding and infrastructure damage
Sediment buildup and shoreline erosion
Algae blooms and declining water quality
Long-term ecological degradation
Stormwater is the invisible threat hiding in plain sight — until it becomes your biggest liability.
What BMPs Actually Are
What Is a Stormwater BMP?
BMP = Best Management Practice.
These are engineered systems that control stormwater runoff and filter pollution.
Common HOA BMPs We Assess and Repair:
Retention and detention ponds
Bioswales & rain gardens
Permeable pavement systems
Green roofs
Sand filters
Underground drainage systems
All BMPs must be maintained — and most aren’t.
