The Evermay Community Association (“ECA”) was formed in 1969 as a voluntary, non-profit, educational and charitable homeowner association. ECA was formed to advance the interests of the owners and residents in the Evermay subdivision, located in the Dranesville District, Fairfax County. Over subsequent years, ECA established a record which continues to this day of many accomplishments as a result of strong support by Evermay residents and the dedicated work of its volunteer officers, directors and committee members.
In its activities, the Association is non-partisan and non-sectarian. Membership in the Association is open to persons owning property in the Evermay subdivision. Upon payment of annual dues each household has one vote in matters submitted to the membership of the Association. The Treasurer sends bills for the annual dues in early January for the fiscal year that begins on December 1. Non-owner residents who pay the dues are entitled to participate in all Evermay activities, but do not have voting rights.
