The Countrywood Neighborhood Association (CNA) serves the residents of Countrywood where government service stops.

For example, we maintain the grounds, signs, guard house and irrigation systems.  We attend important joint agency meetings and sign-up to receive information so that we can communicate information to the residents about what's going on in the neighborhood and the surrounding areas.  We interact with the police, code enforcement, Memphis City Beautiful, the in-fill area representatives, and other agencies and neighbors.  We have been working on getting the neighbors to engage in the neighborhood by providing information about where the dues go, sending more communications, updating the website, engaging in social media and having periodic get-togethers.

Membership is open to all residents, local businesses, faith-based institutions, schools, and other organizations located within our boundaries that have a vested interest in the area.

Eligibility is automatic with residence in Countrywood. It is expensive to maintain a neighborhood the size of Countrywood. CNA’s effectiveness is limited by the total dues it collects. Membership dues are used wisely and are an important component in keeping property values high. Your involvement in determining the destiny of our neighborhood cannot be understated. Your involvement can be as small as picking up litter from the sidewalks, curbs, and medians when you walk your dog and by reporting anything you see out-of-line.

Board Meetings are held regularly as decided by the Board of Directors and its Officers. Neighborhood meetings for the entire membership are held periodically and announced in advance. Important dates appear on the website’s calendar.

The CNA is responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the guard house, four entrance signs, lighting and their related repairs. Also, it is responsible for maintenance of the underground irrigation systems at four entrances. The City of Memphis is responsible for maintenance of about eight miles of medians within Countrywood’s collector streets and cul-de-sacs to include mowing, trimming, edging, and tree maintenance. CNA privately contracts for landscaping and lawn maintenance of the four entrances, plus the easements by the power lines and gas lines. Several other entities are responsible for a few open areas near the main entrance on Rockcreek Parkway.

The CNA operates under a set of bylaws that require enforcement of the restrictive covenants written into every land title in greater Countrywood. There is a covenant enforcement committee that processes and evaluates all reported violations. The committee regularly asks homeowners to correct covenant violations, and then follows up with legal action when necessary.

Report potential covenant violations on the CNA website by going to the Contact Us page and then submit an online contact form. This method replaces the former “CNA Hotline” and is more efficient and cost-effective. Residents are encouraged to use the City of Memphis’ 311 Support Center to make complaints about Memphis and Shelby County code violations and the following: potholes, abandoned vehicles, high weeds on vacant lots, curbside trash, faulty traffic signals, and derelict and abandoned homes. Service requests/complaints may be placed by calling 311 Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., or by using the Online Support Center 24/7 at www.memphistn.gov and clicking “311 Support Center.

Tracking numbers are assigned for follow-up. The “Top Ten Code Violations” for Memphis and Shelby County may be viewed on the City of Memphis’ website at www.memphistn.gov on the 311 page.
