Why can’t I rent a mailbox?
Due to the increase of new residents, mailboxes at the front gate are only being offered to residents that live in Holiday Villages of Livingston full time. We have added sixty new mailboxes in the last eighteen months. Until you become a full-time resident in the Village, you can rent a PO Box at the Onalaska post office if needed.
Is the Facebook (Holiday Villages on Lake Livingston Talk) account operated by the POA or HVLOA?
No. This Facebook page is managed by residents in the Village. This is a good place to find recommended contractors to use for deck construction, culvert installation, electrical, mowing, and handyman services as well as recommended local restaurants. It is also a good place to post items for sale and for lost and found pets.

Why are some roads in bad condition and not repaired more than they are?
Holiday Villages of Livingston is over twenty years old and there were no major repairs or investment from the original developer (Tecon Corporation). The Holiday Villages of Livingston Owners Association (HVLOA) took over control of the Village from Tecon in 2015 (date to be confirmed). HVLOA members voted against a special road assessment twice after taking over control from Tecon. A Road Assessment was passed on a third attempt for the year 2018. When the Road Assessment was passed, the HVLOA dedicated a special account for the Road Fund.
All our cross streets, like St. Thomas, are approximately 1,500 feet long. The average cost to dig ditches, have road base put down, and complete the chip and seal process for one cross street is $45,000 to $50,000. When the average revenue collected each year for the roads is approximately $150,000, we can complete three streets a year. Meanwhile, patching of holes is a full-time job. And to make matters worse, heavy rains destroy any repairs to ongoing patching. Since our maintenance guys have other responsibilities, there are many days that work on the roads is not done.
The Current Road Balance is posted on the HVLOA website homepage.

Why is cleaning out ditches considered part of new road construction instead of regular maintenance?
Due to the cost of digging the ditches, they fall under road repairs instead of general maintenance. Materials like cold patch purchased to patch potholes fall under regular road maintenance. It is the property owner’s responsibility to keep their culverts cleaned out and weeds trimmed on both ends of their culverts.
Does the Village have a maintenance man / crew?
Yes. We currently employ two men that work approximately 32 hours per week. Their responsibilities are to address any needs of the village not limited to cleaning the pool daily, filling potholes, assisting with keeping the boat ramp area clean, cleaning the mailroom as well as some grass trimming, gate repairs if possible, lighting, general electrical repair and anything else that needs to be addressed.
How many committees exist in the Village?
Holiday Villages of Livingston Owners Association (HVLOA) has two active committees: The Road Committee, The Architectural Control Committee (ACC), Event Committee, and Deed Restriction Revision Committee. Volunteers are needed. If you would like to help, please send an email to the HVLOA Board of Directors at HVLOABOD@gmail.com, or contact the HVLOA Clubhouse office at 936-377-5500.
Lake Swimming – Can you swim in the lake?
Lake swimming at the boat ramp area is not a designated swimming area even though many residents use it for that reason. Caution should be taken since there have been multiple sightings of alligators nearby.
