Highlights of Pelican Ranch Covenants (updated July 2005)

Pelican Lake Ranch is a covenant-controlled community and has a Property Owners Association. The primary function of the Property Owners Association (POA) is to enforce the covenants, provide architectural control, community trash service, and other administrative and legal functions. The POA annual dues are less than $400.00 per year.
