IMPORTANT HOA UPDATE! PLEASE READ!
8/4/2026
It's that time of year again for our annual HOA dues and annual meeting!
The 2026 annual HOA dues are $158.00 per home.
Our Annual HOA Meeting is scheduled for October 22, 2026. Additional details regarding the meeting location will be provided soon.
During this year's meeting, we will introduce Ryan Smith with Legacy Southwest, who will be serving as our community management company. Legacy Southwest will work alongside the current HOA Board of Directors to oversee the day-to-day management of our community. They will also assist the Board with updating our community bylaws, rules, and restrictions.
If you would like to review any portion of the current bylaws or community rules and restrictions before the meeting, please email your request to bowmanestateshoa@yahoo.com.
Please note that late fees of $50.00 will be assessed after 90 days unless a written payment arrangement has been established with the Board.
Annual dues invoices will be sent by email through PayHOA, unless you have specifically requested to receive your invoice by mail. If you do not receive your invoice within the next few days, please verify that your email address is up to date in your PayHOA account.
If you are new to the community and have not yet received an invitation to create your PayHOA account, or if you need assistance setting up a new account, please contact the Board at bowmanestateshoa@yahoo.com, and we will be happy to help you get your homeowner portal set up.
Thank you for helping keep Bowman Estates a great place to live. We look forward to seeing everyone at the annual meeting!

Next topic is Board Member elections! While we are all very thankful as a board to have the opportunity to grow the community with our homeowners and renters, it is time for us to start transferring these responsibilities. The current board is short one member due to our VP moving. In addition to this, the most senior member of the board has been volunteering for over 11 years. The newest member to the board has been volunteering for over 5 years. The current need of the community is a volunteer board made up of 4 homeowners. The other option is a management company overseen by a board of 3 homeowners. The current board is willing to assist with the transition of
management.
8/4/2026 continued
This is the management company that manages most of the other communities in the area, including all of the Marine Creek communities. This service will be a $450.00 expense for the HOA per month. This would be a total expense of $3.51 per month per homeowner. To be able to afford this we have increased the dues 10%.
In addition to management, Legacy will assist with past due accounts. Currently there are past due accounts in the amount of approx. $3600.00.
As for the option of disbanding the HOA. The HOA is a property-owning LLC that is owned by every homeowner in the community. To dismantle this LLC, every property-owning entity, including mortgage company, would have to be given the opportunity to vote to dismantle the HOA or not and would need a vote of 60% in favor dismantle per our bylaws. From there would have to have approval from the city to turn the
property over to their possession and management. If not, the property at the entrance would be considered abandoned. The city does not want the property as it is not usable. The front entrance poses an additional expense to the Fort Worth taxpayer with no benefit.
