What is the relationship of Bear Paw Property Ownership Association (BPPOA)
and Bear Paw Service District (BPSD)?
The BPPOA is composed of lot owners in Bear Paw who are also members of the BPSD, the tax district. Each lot is allocated one vote for conducting BPPOA business. The main business of the BPPOA membership is the elections of Board members. Each year they nominate seven persons to the Cherokee County Commissioners for appointment to the Bear Paw Service District Board of Directors. In addition, the BPPOA Board which is the same as the BPSD board may collect assessments and charges from the owners and establish regulations governing the use of common areas and facilities. Currently the Owners Association has no actual working funds.
The BPSD is a political subdivision of North Carolina and Cherokee County. By law it is authorized to provide for recreational services andfacilities, acquire and maintain open common areas, maintain and improve roads, provide for security, administer the business affairs of the Service District, establish Zoning Ordinanes and provide other services required by the County or the State. Funds to accomplish these tasks come from taxes on property within Bear Paw, the rate determined by the District within limits set by law. The BPSD also may implement special assessments, user fees and other contract fees. The Bear Paw Service District Board of Directors runs the District and is appointed by the County, usually the the nominees submitted by the BPPOA Board of Directors.
