What Tanglewood Lake Owners Association's governing documents say
Tanglewood Lake Owners Association is a single-family home HOA in La Cygne, Kansas, on a 2,241-lot recreational lake community. This document is the association's Bylaws, which define membership, voting, board structure, assessments, and committees, plus detailed Rules & Regulations covering construction, pets, vehicles, watercraft, and lake use. Anyone who owns a lot here automatically becomes a member and must follow these rules.
- Membership & voting: Every lot owner or purchaser (with a contract of sale) is a member and gets one vote per lot. Voting can be done in person or by proxy. The board consists of seven directors elected for three-year staggered terms, with at least one from each of the three lake areas.
- Assessments & fees: Annual assessments fund operations and common property maintenance; special assessments require a 51% membership vote. As of 2024–2025, the general assessment is $225 per lot per year, and there is a special $25 assessment for lake projects through 2026. Delinquent amounts incur interest, collection fees, and attorney costs.
- Architectural review & construction: All new construction, additions, sheds, docks, seawalls, pools, and other structures need a TLOA building permit (fees $25–$100) and, if required, a Linn County permit. Dwellings must be at least 600 sq ft, face the street, and sit on a permanent foundation. Setbacks are 25 ft from the front street and 10 ft from sides and rear. Outside construction must be finished within six months.

On the 135-acre lake, motors must be under 160 hp and boats under 22 ft (or 30 ft for pontoons). No wake on the two smaller lakes. Quiet hours for watercraft are 8 PM–9 AM. All watercraft must display a TLOA permit sticker.
- Gate access cards: Each member in good standing gets two gate cards. Additional cards may be purchased for immediate relatives and must be renewed yearly by October 31. Cards are suspended if assessments are delinquent or if the member violates rules; reactivation fees apply. Suspended cards are programmed for exit-only.
- Motor vehicles & parking: Speed limit is 15 mph. All motor vehicles must be licensed and insured. No driving on common properties except roads, and no driving on dam slopes. Unlicensed vehicles need a TLOA permit sticker. Abandoned or inoperable vehicles may be removed after 48 hours on common property.
