- Sub-association assessment: supports neighborhood-level services and obligations.

Age and Occupancy Requirements
Primary Requirement
Each home generally must be occupied by at least one resident age 55 or older, subject to limited exceptions administered by CAMA.
No Residents Under 18
A person under 18 may not occupy a home as a resident. Minor guests may visit for up to two consecutive weeks per occasion and no more than 30 days in a calendar year.
Approval Before Occupancy
Potential owners and occupants must complete CAMA’s Application for Occupancy and age-verification process before taking occupancy.
CAMA conducts a resident census every two years to maintain compliance with federal Housing for Older Persons Act requirements. Buyers should have CAMA confirm eligibility for their specific household before purchasing.

Rules Worth Reviewing Before You Buy

Fences, landscaping, signs, antennas and other exterior items may be restricted by master and neighborhood documents. Obtain written approval when required.
Vehicles & Parking
Community-wide restrictions address commercial vehicles, inoperable vehicles, campers, trailers, vehicle repairs and extended parking.

A sale cannot proceed to occupancy without CAMA application and age-verification paperwork, plus any documents required by the applicable sub-association.
Frequently Asked Questions
Carillon Plainfield HOA FAQs
How much are the HOA fees in Carillon Plainfield?
The amount varies by home because owners pay both a CAMA assessment and a separate sub-association assessment. Request a current written statement for the exact property before relying on any advertised amount.
Does the HOA include lawn care and snow removal?
Yes, but responsibility is divided. CAMA maintains its master common areas, while each sub-association separately contracts for lawn care and snow removal within its neighborhood.
Is Carillon Plainfield a 55+ community?
Yes. Each occupied home generally requires at least one resident age 55 or older, with limited exceptions governed by CAMA and federal requirements. No occupant may be under 18.

Yes. Minor guests may generally visit for no more than two consecutive weeks on one occasion and no more than 30 total days per calendar year. Most common facilities exclude minors, but the satellite pool permits minors when accompanied and supervised by a resident.
Can owners rent their homes?
Leasing rules depend on the sub-association. CAMA requires lease and age-verification documentation, while some Carillon sub-associations prohibit leasing.
