Dear Homeowners,
We are writing to inform you of an upcoming change in property management for our association.
Sadly, our previous property manager Vida Burns with VB Business Service passed away after a brief illness. We are grateful for the service they provided to the Association, and our thoughts are with their family during this time.
To ensure continuity of operations and support for our community, the Board has appointed Towne Properties as the Association’s new property manager, effective January 1,2026.
What this means for homeowners:
- Day-to-day concerns that affect the association will be handled by Towne Properties
- Payment instructions, maintenance requests, and general inquiries will be directed to the new management team however homeowners may always reach out to the Board directly with concerns
- Towne Properties is currently working with the Board of Directors with the transition of community records and will be sending an introduction letter, along with updated contact information and account payment instructions to all residents. Please hold off on paying your annual HOA fees until you receive this information
During this transition, the Board will be working closely with the new management company to ensure a smooth handoff and minimal disruption to the Association. As always homeowners are encouraged to reach out to the City of Columbus 311 office with city code related concerns. More information can be found at: https://www.columbus.gov/311-Customer-Service-Center
We appreciate your patience and understanding during this period of change. please contact the Board directly via email to [email protected] with any questions.
Thank you for your continued cooperation and support of our community.
Sincerely,
2025 Village at Thornapple Board of Directors
