The City of Chelsea recently brought on staff and a portal for reporting of concerns.
As a reminder, the City of Chelsea does not have dedicated police staff, instead choosing to contract with the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office for police services.
This new service will provide citizen’s of Chelsea with an outlet for bringing up issues that fall outside of enforcement provided by the Sheriff or a Home Owners Association.
An example would be something like, improper street parking. The Sheriff’s Office will not enforce HOA policy, only stepping in where there is a potential for danger, like obstruction that prevents emergency vehicles.
Feel free to check it out and bookmark the page so you can use it as you need.
Also as a reminder, if there is something the requires the Sheriff’s department, you can call 911. They do not have separate dispatch for 911 and non-emergency issues.
See the portal HERE.

We’ve previously posted news and mentioned in many newsletters the importance of keeping your mailbox in good repair and in compliance. We’ve also mentioned that the HOA Board will levy fines for mailboxes not in compliance.
An example of a great Forest Lakes mailbox.
Today we’d like to share a blog post giving tips on how you can spruce up your mailbox on your own.
This is a great project anyone can take on but should you lack the time, you can also enlist help! See below.
We wanted to provide a reminder about some of the most common complaints and fines from around the neighborhood. See below:
vehicles/boats/trailers parked visibly in front yards or sidewalks*
mailboxes unpainted and falling apart
trash cans being left out and not pulled in neatly beside the resident's home (out of sight when possible)
Lawn overgrowth in the warmer months
* street parking of motor vehicles is monitored and enforced by Shelby County/City of Chelsea, the HOA is working to address any other violators.
We appreciate all the feedback we receive if there's anything we can assist with please reach out to us at board@forestlakesofchelsea.com, our volunteer board is in service to the community we love!
The HOA Board occasionally gets complaints about off-leash dogs, dogs damaging property, and barking dogs.
We are working with each homeowner that is having an issue alongside Shelby County.
Shelby County has a leash law and the City of Chelsea has an animal control officer to assist with enforcement.
Many neighbors have confided in the HOA that they are not comfortable using our beautiful lake or taking walks within the neighborhood due to off-leash dogs.
Please remember, even the most well-behaved dogs can be intimidating to others. Choosing to keep them on a leash is choosing to be a courteous and thoughtful neighbor.
Please feel empowered to report off-leash pets, and nuisance pets to City Hall.
Per the City "If it continues to be an issue, then it can be escalated where law enforcement and the court would become involved."
City of Chelsea Ordinance, hosted on the City website.
Just a friendly reminder that the HOA selects a “Yard of the Month” during much of the non-Winter months to recognize and honor homes that go above and beyond.
This recognition includes a yard sign and a block in our monthly newsletter.
Yard of the Month is returning in March, so start getting those flower beds ready!
