The Village At Alum Creek (VAC) Homeowners' Association
Welcome to the Village at Alum Creek (VAC) Homeowners' Association website. The Village at Alum Creek (VAC) is a neighborhood of 445 homes in Lewis Center, Ohio. This website is created and maintained by the VAC Homeowners' Association Board of Trustees.
Vaughan Group, Ltd. (VGL) along with a Board of Trustees manages the day-to-day activities of our HOA. Our VGL representative is Jen Vitcusky. The best way to contact her is via email (please include your name, address, and community in your email). To contact the Board of Directors, use the Contact HOA button at the top of this page.
HOA Dues
Towards the end of each year the Board of Directors, based on the current year's expenses and projections for the coming year, determines if the current dues amount is adequate to meet our obligations. Per our governing documents, the dues can be raised up to 10% each year. The Board does its best to hold down costs and only raises dues when necessary. Our community has the lowest annual dues of any neighboring community.
An invoice is mailed to each homeowner around the last week of each calendar year. If you have not received your invoice by mid-January, or if you have misplaced it, please contact Jen Vitcusky at VGL and request a copy.
Dues MUST be paid in full on or before April 15th of each year or fines ($25 per month) will be assessed. They can be paid electronically via the Alliance Bank website. Once there, log in or follow the instructions to create your account.
You can also pay by check following the instructions on the Invoice. Include the payment stub with your check so the correct account is credited. NOTE: This address is ONLY for mailing checks to the HOA.
Account Access
VGL maintains an account for every resident of every community they manage. You can access your account by going to the VGL website (www.vglltd.com). Once on the site, click on Resident Login and follow the instructions on that page.
Email / Online Communication
In order for the HOA to effectively communicate with residents WE NEED YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS.

Selling your home?
If a Title Company or real estate agent needs HOA documentation (by-laws, deed restrictions, etc.) and a statement showing your current balance with the HOA, have them go to www.homewisedocs.com, enter the neighborhood as "The Village At Alum Creek" and your address. From there they can submit a request for this information. This is normally done by the Title company or agent, not the existing homeowner. There is a fee for this service. Contact Jen Vitcusky if there are questions about this service. If you have questions regarding the fee assessed for this service, talk with your real estate agent or the title company.

Exterior Home Improvement/Maintenance
If you're planning ANY exterior project (even if you are replacing an existing structure, driveway, or sidewalk), you are required to submit an Application for Exterior Alteration Modification and obtain approval 30 days prior to the start of the work. You can find the application under Documents/Forms. HOA approval does not eliminate the need to obtain permits from Delaware county or other governing bodies.
Architectural Review Committee
The members of this committee review the Applications for Exterior Alteration Modification. They make sure the changes you are making to the exterior of your home are in line with the Warranty Deed Restrictions and their supporting Policy Statements. This committee is also responsible for annual inspections of homes in our community to make sure they reflect the standards of our neighborhood.
Block Watch Committee
Tarik Chemali is the new chairperson of this committee. Although there are committee members, if you are interested in participating use the Contact HOA Trustees button at the top of this screen and let us know. This committee is charged with educating residents of ways to help maintain a safe and secure community for everyone. If you see something suspicious taking place in our community, whether a crime has been committed or not, please call the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office at 740-833-2800 and report what you are observing. Please review the Block Watch Overview and the Block Watch Presentation for more details. If you are interested in joining, drop a message on our Contact Us form.
Annual/General membership meetings
These meetings are held annually and as needed. The Annual Meeting is held on or near the last Monday in March. Reminders will be mailed to all property owners.
Meetings of the Board of Trustees
Meetings are held approximately six times throughout the year and may be virtual or at a trustee’s home. While these meetings are primarily for the trustees, anyone is welcome to attend if they have an issue they would like to discuss. Please use the Contact HOA button if you have an issue you would like to discuss with the Board of Trustees. A Trustee will contact you prior to the meeting to better understand the issue and add it to the agenda. We require advanced notice if more than one or two people want to attend a Trustee meeting.
