Tellico Village Property Owners Association

What Tellico Village Property Owners Association does

Tellico Village Property Owners Association (TVPOA) is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization that functions as the de facto municipal government for Tellico Village, a 5,000-acre master-planned retirement community located on the banks of Tellico Lake in Loudon County, Tennessee. Founded in 1987 alongside the community, TVPOA serves approximately 11,000 residents and is responsible for governmental functions within the Village, including maintenance of roads, water and sewer systems, and operation of all Village facilities. The organization is professionally managed by staff led by a CEO/General Manager, with strategic direction provided by a Board of Directors and informed by eight advisory committees covering functional areas such as highways, recreation, marinas, and finance.

TVPOA's core service portfolio spans three golf courses (Tanasi, Toqua, Kahite), four restaurants (Blue Heron, Tanasi Bar & Grill, Toqua Sports Bar & Grill, Kahite Pub & Grill) operated via AWE Hospitality, recreation facilities (Chota Recreation Center, Wellness Center, parks, 15 miles of hiking trails), and a Welcome Center. Distribution channels are exclusively internal: property owners access services through the members-only website, physical POA administrative office, golf pro shops, and recreation centers. The underlying technology stack is conventional, consisting of a WordPress-based website, an EZPay payment portal, online reservations, and standard CRM-style help desk tooling (tvpoa.helpspot.com), with no disclosed proprietary platform or integrations beyond third-party restaurant and golf management partnerships.

The business model is funded by monthly assessment fees paid by all property owners (primary recurring stream), user fees for amenities (golf, food and beverage, recreation, usage-based), and transaction-based lot sales. Specific assessment amounts are not publicly disclosed. Strategic capital projects in 2019 included a $2.4 million Toqua Clubhouse replacement and a $636,333 Kahite Community Center, with a Tanasi Clubhouse rebuild following a 2022 fire currently in planning. TVPOA maintains extensive government-agency partnerships (TDOT, TVA, USACE, USFWS, TWRA, USGS, county highway departments) primarily focused on road safety and Asian Carp prevention, alongside commercial partnerships with Merit Construction, United Community Bank, and Troon Golf.
