Our Home, Our Rights — End Predatory Towing at Sherwood Lakes

Our Home, Our Rights — End Predatory Towing at Sherwood Lakes

The Issue

The Issue ∙ Vehicles were being towed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — residents were never clearly informed of this policy ∙ Sunday night into Monday morning is being treated as a weekday, penalizing guests who stayed for the weekend ∙ Security officers have shown up without uniforms, badges, or any identification ∙ Tow truck drivers have refused to identify themselves when asked ∙ Drivers cannot clearly explain the towing policy they are enforcing ∙ Parking stickers placed on vehicles cause damage to windows — an unacceptable practice that residents and guests should not have to tolerate ∙ No transparency on HOA fees — residents have a right to know how their money is being used ∙ Guests of residents are being targeted with no advance warning or opportunity to comply ∙ Anytime Towing & Recovery PBC holds a 1-star rating — one of the lowest possible ratings a business can receive — yet they remain the HOA’s contracted towing vendor ∙ Both contracted vendors — Anytime Towing & Recovery PBC and High Risk Enforcement — have documented public records of complaints and misconduct ∙ The HOA has since paused weekend towing enforcement — an implicit acknowledgment that the policy was unfair to begin with. If the policy were reasonable, it would not need to be suspended. Why This Matters Sherwood Lakes is home. Residents pay HOA fees every month with the expectation that this community is managed fairly, transparently, and with their best interests in mind. When a towing company with a 1-star rating is authorized to operate on this property, it reflects directly on the standards the HOA holds for this community. When a security officer shows up without a uniform or badge, no resident or guest can safely distinguish them from a random stranger — this is not just an inconvenience, it is a safety issue. Unclear parking policies do not just cause frustration — they cost people money they should never have had to spend. A guest staying for the weekend should not be towed under a policy that was never clearly communicated and that the HOA itself has since had to suspend. Residents also deserve to know where their HOA fees are going. Financial transparency is not a privilege — it is a basic expectation of anyone paying into a managed community. This petition is not about being difficult. It is about holding our community to a standard it deserves. Every resident who signs is sending a message that Sherwood Lakes should be managed with accountability, clarity, and respect for the people who live here.
