2022/2023 Briarcreek Neighborhood Annual Dues

What are annual neighborhood dues and why do we all pay them?

Throughout the year, money from the annual dues is spent to pay maintenance costs in our neighborhood (see list below). The funds are depleted throughout the year and when the new fiscal year begins on September 1st, we ask every homeowner to pay $75 to replenish these funds.

The fiscal year extends from September 1-August 31. The annual dues are only $75.00.

John Smalley was elected 2023 Treasurer. However due to a health issue, Sherry Fair is stepping in temporarily to assist with treasurer duties. Checks, payable to BNA, may be mailed or delivered to Sherry Fair, BNA Treasurer, 6709 Newman Drive, OKC 73162.

Benefits of Membership

The purpose of the Briarcreek Neighborhood Association (BNA) is to unite as neighbors to improve our neighborhood and community; to preserve the safety, beauty and value of our homes. Our goal is to get neighbors together, share ideas and work cooperatively to make our neighborhood a better place to live.

Our volunteer board is a voice and an advocate for Briarcreek neighborhood. We strive to build a positive working relationship with elected officials, state and city officials and city service departments. We work closely with OKC Community Foundation, OKC Beautiful, ACGOC and city officials to be on their radar when funds become available for improvement opportunites for the areas in and around our neighborhood.
