The 2024 Budget is Approved
Posted on Aug 27th, 2023
Great News!
The Board of Governors has approved the 2024 Budget. In 2024, Sequoyah Owners will receive an unheard of 3.06% DECREASE in their monthly assessments. This decrease was achieved while still fully funding the Replacement Reserve account as directed in our most recent Reserve Study. You can see the full budget on the Budget section of this website in the Co-Owners area or contact the Management Office. For your convenience see the new assessment amounts by unit size and classifications below.
The Board of Governors thanks the Budget Committee and Islam Kamal, General Manager, for their work on this unprecedented budget.
Trash schedule and policies
Posted on Jun 30th, 2023
Our trash schedule is as follows:
· Residents are required to place their trash outside between the hours of 5am-8am on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Please do not place your trash outside after 8am. It will not be picked up.
· All trash should be bagged in plastic drawstring bags. Please do not place loose trash in your trash bins. It leads to spills.
· Only flattened cardboard boxes will be picked up. All other recyclable material must be placed in the marked recycling bins by the trash dumpsters.
Proposed Amendments
Posted on Jun 20th, 2023
In an effort to update and provide better clarity in the Sequoyah Condominiums Bylaws, we will be hosting two town hall meetings in the coming months to discuss the proposed amendments and restatements in the bylaws.
Overview of the topics:
Collections
· Reduction of late fee for assessments
· Clarification to recover fees for collections process and attorney costs.
· Clarification of Assessment Collection procedures
· Clarification of Compliance and Default procedures
· Lien for assessments and enforcement of liens
Association Meetings
· Required number of Board meetings
· Clarifying Annual Meeting dates
· Special Meetings of Council/Board Requirements
· Board of Governors/Officer qualifications and duties
· Notices and Covenants Committee and Control
Other Areas
· Ability to separate sub-metering of utilities and other services to Units
· Clarification on Improvement by Unit Owners or Council
· Liability for Water intrusion
· Clarification of Parking and Storage (in common elements)
We encourage all owners to attend the meetings, so they are fully informed in preparation for voting on the proposed changes. For the changes to be adopted, 66.7% of the owners must vote in approval. Our goal is to achieve maximum voting participation.

Upcoming Events
Call for Candidates
Tuesday, August 22nd to Saturday, September 23rd
It is the time of year when we call upon the co-owners of Sequoyah to volunteer to serve on the Board of Governors. This year, the Council of Co-Owners will vote to fill three (3) seats on the Board of Governors. If the Council can achieve a quorum and officially convene the Annual Meeting, the three (3) candidates receiving the three highest vote totals will fill two-year terms provided that the total votes for each candidate is a majority of the total voting population (roll call) of the Annual Meeting. If the Council fails to reach a quorum and cannot officially convene the Annual Meeting, the remaining Board members with un-expiring terms will meet to fill the vacancies on the Board, as provided in the By-Laws, Article IV, Section 5.
Board candidates must be Sequoyah unit owners and may not be more than 60 days delinquent in any assessment to be eligible. Board members are expected to attend each monthly Board meeting on the fourth Tuesday of the month and are encouraged to participate in at least one Sequoyah committee. If you would like to be listed as a candidate for the Board of Governors, please complete the Candidate Form. You can submit it by email to csr@sequoyahcondos.net, drop off at community center, or mail the form to: Sequoyah Community Center, 8010 Seven Woods Drive, Alexandria, VA, 22309.
