Frequently Asked Questions

 Home Improvements

  • Roof materials need to be wood or heavy-duty architectural (laminated) composition shingles with a minimum 30-year rating. We use the “weathered wood” color only.

    Written approval from the Architectural Committee is required for composition shingles.

    Please contact the committee at architecture@southernpointehoa.com if you have any questions.

  • Some general guidelines:
    -Fencing cannot extend past the front building line of any residence.
    -Fences other than wood, brick, stone stucco, or iron, must be approved by the Architectural Committee.
    -Chain link, vinyl, or metal fencing is not allowed.
    -Fence height cannot exceed 6 feet.

    The Architectural Committee may approve some exceptions for the height of fences due to the slope of the lot and the visual harmony of surrounding homes.

    Please contact the Architectural Committee to discuss any changes to your fencing.

  • You will need approval from the Architectural Committee if you plan to paint your house in a new color.

  • Please remember that only inground pools are permitted in Southern Pointe.

    Additionally, you will need approval from the Architectural Committee. Please contact the committee at architecture@southernpointehoa.com to discuss your plans.

Leasing & Rentals

  • No. All leases must be for a minimum of one (1) year. Short-term rentals (such as Airbnb, VRBO, or hotel-style stays) are strictly prohibited.

  • No. Even occasional or part-time short-term rentals are not allowed. The restriction applies at all times to protect neighborhood stability and property values.

  • DescriptionYou may do so, but you must provide the HOA Board with:

    • A copy of the lease agreement

    • The tenant(s)’ name(s), address, phone number, and/or email address
      This information must be submitted within five (5) days of executing the lease.

  • No. Renting or leasing out individual rooms within your home is not allowed under the HOA rules. All rentals must involve the entire residence and must comply with the minimum one-year lease requirement. Renting out single rooms, whether for long-term or short-term use, is considered a violation and may result in fines or other enforcement actions by the HOA.

  • No. Renting or leasing your pool, backyard, or any part of your property for events, parties, or short-term use is not allowed. All rental activity must comply with the minimum one-year lease requirement.

  • The HOA Board may, at its discretion, grant exceptions in certain circumstances. An owner must apply to the Board for consideration. Approval is not guaranteed.

  • Violations may result in fines and other enforcement actions by the HOA. Fines are treated the same as assessments and can become a lien against your property if unpaid.

Mail & Mail Boxes

  • Our covenants require standard mailboxes. Southern Pointe mailboxes should not have permanent decals on them, be painted other colors, or be modified in any manner.

    Our mailbox is manufactured by Gaines Manufacturing.

    It is a “Keystone Series” Model KS-9A, Charcoal with Satin Nickel Accent.

    For mailbox replacement or installation:

    Jerry Benish

    William Scribner

    (918) 698-1504

    MrMailbox.us

  • Please only use original replacement parts for your mailbox.

    If your mailbox is vandalized or requires repair, parts can be purchased for a reasonable price from the manufacturer. You can purchase the bottom, sides, flags, new numbers, etc.

    Please call Gaines Manufacturing at (858) 486-7100 for parts or Jerry Benish with Mr. Mailbox at (918) 698-1504

  • Mailbox numbers can be obtained from Jerry Benish with Mr. Mailbox at (918) 698-1504. Mr. Benish will deliver and install the numbers correctly on your mailbox for $15.00.

    These are the ONLY AUTHORIZED NUMBERS. Do not use other numbers. Please plan to pay when the service is done.

  • If you need to reinstall your mailbox or post, please note that the height of the mailbox is 36 ½” to 37 ½” from the top of the curb to the bottom of the mailbox. The post is 6” from the curb.

  • Unfortunately, thieves target mailboxes and our community is no exception.

    Some residents have installed a lock box to deter mail theft.

    Below are listed some tips to stop the theft problem:

    Deposit your outgoing mail at the post office, The UPS Store, or a similar facility. Do not put outgoing mail in your street-side mailbox.

    Check your box daily for inbound mail. If you are out of town, stop delivery of your mail.

    To prevent the “washing” of checks, a special ballpoint pen can be purchased at an office supply store or Walmart. It is a Uniball Signo 207. It was developed by an FBI consultant specializing in check security.

    If you know you have mail theft, report the incident to the Postmaster and the police. The more they hear from us concerning thefts, the more they will investigate.

    Finally, many residents choose to sign up for Informed Delivery with the USPS. This free service allows you to preview your mail before it arrives.

  • Each year a generous group of volunteers places red bows below each mailbox to celebrate the holiday season. If you have an issue with your bow or would not like your bow to be placed on your mailbox please contact president@southernpointhoa.com

Trash

  • Our trash is collected on Mondays. Typically, trash service runs early in the morning, and recycling is collected later in the afternoon.

    Please plan to set your bins out Sunday evening and store them by Monday evening. This helps keep our neighborhood’s curb appeal and makes our neighborhood a pleasant place to walk.

    Need additional trash information? Visit the City of Tulsa’s Refuse FAQ Page.

  • There will be no collection services on the following holidays:

    -New Year's Day
    -Thanksgiving
    -Christmas Day

    If the holiday falls on one of these days, the pickup schedule will shift one day for the holiday and all the following days that week to accommodate the disruption in scheduling.

    For example, if a holiday falls on a Monday:

    Those with Monday collection will receive service on Tuesday.

  • Our covenants state that garbage and recycling carts must be concealed from view when it’s not trash collection day.

    Please plan to store your carts:
    -In your garage
    -In your fenced backyard
    -Behind a fenced enclosure designed to conceal trash carts

  • Tulsa's trash program offers several options to meet your refuse and recycling needs:

    A 32, 64, or 96-gallon trash cart

    Once- or twice-a-week pickup

    Curbside, backyard (up to 100 feet from the curb), or extended backyard service (more than 100 feet from the curb).

    Households may request a change in cart size or service at any time for a $10 fee.

    To change your cart size please call 311 or email Tulsa311@cityoftulsa.org during regular business hours.

  • To dispose of trash that does not fit inside the refuse cart:

    Bag and seal extra trash and apply a refuse sticker to the bag so that it is visible to the hauler.

    Set bagged trash three feet from your refuse cart by 5 a.m. on your collection day.

    You can put out a total of 15 bags (refuse and/or green waste) a week at the curb

    Additional refuse stickers may be purchased at area QuikTrip® locations, or at City Hall, 175 E. 2nd Street, Payment Center, Monday - Thursday, 7:30 am - 5 pm, Friday, 7:30 am - 12:00 pm.

    For large items that do not fit inside of the trash cart, such as an appliance, mattress or piece of furniture, call the City of Tulsa at 311 during regular business hours or email Tulsa311@cityoftulsa.org to arrange for a bulky waste pickup.

  • If you have extra green waste (grass clippings, small sticks, leaves) that doesn't fit in your cart and can't be bundled, bag it in a transparent bag and place it at the curb. Please leave three feet of space between your green waste and other objects. You may place a total of 15 bags and/or bundles of yard waste and/or refuse at the curb per week. Yard waste outside of your refuse cart cannot exceed 40 pounds per bag or bundle.

 Satellite Dishes/ TV & Internet

  • All installations are covered by the covenants that state, “Exterior antennas or dish type receivers shall not be erected on any residence or lot anywhere in the addition, without the approval of the Architectural Committee.”

    Also, note that the By-laws of the Association require that the dish not be visible from the street. In other words, it should be installed at the back of your house.

    The Architectural Committee will consult with you to ensure that the dish will receive proper reception around any obstacle while satisfying the covenant and by-law.
