Setting Up Owner Access and Submitting Your HO6
Dear Wafco Mills Owners,
Hello, Community Members! Are you a new owner at Wafco Mills, or have you owned at Wafco Mills and gotten disconnected from our community? To stay connected and compliant in our self-managed HOA, every owner needs access to the owner-only section of WafcoMills.com—and we need your HO6 insurance policy on file. You must set up your website access first, then submit your HO6. Here’s how to do both.
Step 1: Set Up Your Website Access
Before anything else, follow these steps to unlock the owner-exclusive areas of WafcoMills.com:
Go to wafcomills.com and click “login” in the top right corner.
Click “create new account” and follow the prompts to set up your account.
After creating your account, use this link: https://www.wafcomills.com/owners-sign-up (password: GreensboroRocks24).
Click the green “sign up” button and follow the prompts to gain access.
Yay! You now have access to all owner resources and community updates.
Please log in and check back regularly for Wafco news—it’s your hub for everything HOA-related.
Step 2: Submit Your HO6
Once you’re in, it’s time to upload your HO6 (condo) insurance policy. North Carolina law (N.C. Gen. Stat. § 47C-3-113) lets us require this proof of coverage, which protects your unit’s interior and belongings—stuff our master policy doesn’t cover. Even if you own your unit outright, it’s a must. Here’s why: interior damage (like from termites or leaks) is your responsibility, and having your HO6 on file keeps our community compliant and our insurance happy.
To submit:
Log in to WafcoMills.com using your new account.
Head to the “Owner Portal,” find the HO6 upload form, and submit your policy.
Why This Matters
Setting up access first ensures you can easily submit your HO6 and stay in the loop. It’s a simple way to support our 66-unit community, keep dues low, and avoid last-minute scrambles if you’re selling or renting. Need help? Email us at WeLoveWafcoMills@gmail.com
Thanks for doing your part to keep Wafco Mills strong!
Warm regards,
Joy Watson
