To be a member of the North Anthony Area Association, you must live within our association boundaries, and you must pay us annual dues of $20.00.

Yes, we will gladly take your money. Unfortunately, we still cannot permit you to vote in our elections.

Please note that we are not a 501(c)3 organization, and there is no tax benefit to donating to us.

No, you cannot. It is impermissible under our bylaws.

Yes. Most of the additions that comprise our historic districts contained deed restrictions for the houses built in them, generally relating to the distance between the house and any additional structures added to the property, and the lot lines. To our knowledge, the Kensington Park addition has the most restrictive covenants, and the Loidl and Behr addition (the northernmost homes of the association, on Anthony and Crescent) are the least restrictive.

Certain pre-existing homes and later additions may be exempt from these restrictions, but are still subject to local zoning laws. In addition, some property owners have added subsequent restrictions to their deeds. Please consult with the Allen County Recorder’s Office to verify the deed restrictions placed on your property.

No. We are a voluntary membership organization, not a compulsory one like a homeowner association, which is mandated through deed covenants. You are under no obligation to join us, but we hope that you will.

That depends. This neighborhood does not have a uniform pickup schedule, as we are on multiple trash routes that also encompass other neighborhoods. In addition, recycling is collected every other week, and different portions of the neighborhood are assigned “A” and “B” weeks. One side of your street may have recycling this week, while your side will not be picked up until next week. To find out precisely when your garbage and recycling will be picked up, please use the City of Fort Wayne’s handy tool. Please make sure that location tracking is enabled so that the map pin is placed accurately.

Please consult the guide below. More detailed information is available at Recycle Fort Wayne. The city’s trash and recycling provider recently informed us that while over 80% of city households have a recycling cart, only 45% of households participate in recycling. They have provided this chart to help residents know what can be recycled and what cannot. Please follow the guidelines, as not doing so can cause contamination that leads to disruptions in processing and contamination that can lead to waste being landfilled instead of recycled.
