Bowie Forest Homeowners Association Board News
The Bowie Forest Homeowners Association Board approved the budget for fiscal year 2021, which includes keeping the monthly assessment fees at $85.00. In an effort to keep assessment fees at $85.00 per month, the board agreed to eliminate the printing and postage costs associated with sending all residents monthly payment booklets.
In addition, the board is inviting all residents to sign-up to receive email notices of special community concerns and/or events to help save postage costs as well. You must provide the authorization for the Association to send you electronic notices by completing and returning the Electronic Notification form (EN Form) form.
Board meetings are held quarterly on the second Wednesday (January, April, July and October) at 7:00 p.m. All meetings will be held via Zoom until further notice. Please visit the community website at

to confirm date and location. Community members are welcome to attend these scheduled meetings.
