While pets are welcome in Timberview Cluster Association, there are a few rules and requirements. Please become familiar with the following rules and use common sense.

  1. Curb your pet. No one wants to see, smell or accidentally step in the “gift” your dog left on the grassy common area. So, if and when a dog needs to go, it needs to be properly disposed of, preferably in a pet waste disposal can. Not only will this keep our community looking better, but it will help keep groundwater clean and help prevent the spread of fecal-borne diseases. All residents and guests must comply with the leash and “pooper scooper” laws of Fairfax County.

  2. Pets shall not be tied outdoors and left unattended in unfenced areas. 

Vehicles and Parking

    ACCEPTABLE USE OF VISITORS’ CAR SPACES BY RESIDENTS:

    If there is a contractor or service vehicle that prevents a resident from using their driveway, or work is being done on the house, e.g. painting or outside repairs, parking is permitted in the visitor car park from 7am until 6pm This can be for a period of up to 4 consecutive days a month after which an extension approval is needed from the Timberview property management company. You can obtain an extension by contacting the property management with the reason for the request. If authorized, you need to display the authorization notice in your car window or on the dashboard to avoid towing.

    OVERNIGHT: 6PM to7AM

    Overnight parking of resident’s cars in the visitors’ car parks is prohibited without the specific approval of the Timberview property management company. Approval can be obtained by notifying the property management company in writing of the reason to use the visitors' spaces and the authorization notice needs to be displayed in your car window or on the dashboard to avoid towing. 

    There may be occasions where a resident needs to utilize a visitor’s car space overnight and it is not possible to get pre-authorization, e.g. it is an unforeseen situation or after-business hours and this is understood but if more than one night is needed, authorization is needed from the property management company.
