2017 will mark the 30th year anniversary of the partnership between Indian Shores Property Owners Association and C.I.A. Services, Inc.  We are very glad to have had the opportunity to grow with this lovely community, which is nestled on the shores of Lake Houston in Huffman.

This community was incorporated in 1971, although the deed restrictions were originally drafted in 1966. As with many communities that were formed during this time period, the annual assessment was capped at a very low rate – Indian Shores annual maintenance fee has always been $20 per year. As time marched on and the cost of living rose, it became increasingly challenging to maintain and provide uniform services such as security patrol, trash service and supplemental mosquito fogging within the confines of the annual budget. Several years ago, the community implemented a Community Services fee plan, which provides for an additional annual fee as set by the Board to cover the cost of these supplemental services. Although the trash service provided to each property owner is contingent upon payment of the modest quarterly fee, all owners enjoy the benefits of the security patrol and mosquito fogging.  The Board diligently reviews contracts for these services to ensure the additional fee remains low.

The community is served by 15 Board members, consisting of 4 officer positions (President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer), and 11 Board members who are elected to represent each section in the community. In addition to these dedicated volunteers, there are many active committees in Indian Shores that depend on continued volunteer support to operate.

Indian Shores and C.I.A. Services have seen many changes and amazing growth of the area over the last 30 years, and we are looking forward to continuing this partnership for many years to come!
