We are pleased to offer our residents a way to make payments remotely. Payments can be instantly sent to the SLPOA, utilizing Zelle which is available through most major banks and also through the Zelle app. Payments sent to the SLPOA through Zelle will be credited to your SLPOA account.
- Please find the instructions below to add the SLPOA as a recipient. When you log on to your Zelle account, add slpoabod@sunriselake.org as the recipient email. It will then prompt you that we are added as the recipient.
If you are paying from a bank account in which the name on your bank account does not match the SLPOA registered owner, for example a spouse not on a deed, or if you are sending from your business account please call the office or send an email to slpoabod@sunriselake.org to let us know your name and the account you are paying on, the time when you will be sending the payment and the amount you will be sending. This is very important as the only notification that we receive from our bank is the sender’s name and amount. If this information received does not match the name on the SLPOA account, we will have no way to credit your account properly. We do not have access to your bank information or account number.
Any questions, please contact the SLPOA office at 570-686-1880
Latest News from Dingman Township
Planning to start the Short-Term Rental on your property in Dingman Township? Here are some things you should know ...
Short-Term Property Rental (under 30 days) like those promoted, by AirBnB, Home-away, etc. are referenced in the Township Ordinance as Transient Use of Residential Property for Remuneration (or TRU for short). Although "Residential" is in the title, the ordinance applies to all type of structures including commercial buildings, trailers, recreational vehicles, yurts, etc. in which a person might spend the night.
TRUs are permitted in some zoning districts. The RC (Resort Commercial), NC (Neighborhood Commercial), and CP (Conservation and Parks) zoning districts allow TRUs with the appropriate permit.
TRUs are not permitted in the R-1 (Low Density Residential), RU (Rural District), ND-2 (Limited Neighborhood Development), and FP (Floodplain) zoning districts.
All the major subdivisions: Conashaugh Lakes, Sunrise Lake, Gold Key Lake, Crescent Lake, Lake Adventure, Pocono Mountain Woodland Lakes, Pocono Mountain 'Water Forest, etc. are located in either the R-1 or ND-2 zoning districts where TRUs are prohibited.
The regulation of TRUs has been tested in the courts. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has ruled that Municipalities may have ordinances even more restrictive than Dingman Township's.
Property owners in the RC, NC and CP zoning districts should contact the Township Office to obtain the necessary forms and learn the regulations prior to starting a TRU.
Those caught with illegal TRUs can be subject to a civil penalty of up to $500.00 per day in operation (including days the TRU is advertised even though no clients are present). Furthermore, they can be fined or otherwise punished by Pike County and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for Tax Evasion.
The Township does monitor internet sites to look for violations.

BUS STOP PARKING
We have received numerous complaints from property owners in the immediate area of the bus stops. Please be respectful and do not trespass on their property including blocking their driveway, parking in their driveways and allowing children to play on their property. Please remember that all lots in Sunrise Lake are privately owned regardless of whether it is developed or not. Also please be mindful of the fact that during bus stop times, the roads (main roads and side roads) are still being utilized by our residents traveling within the community. For everyone's safety, please have children wait for the bus in a group on one side of the road off the pavement as much as possible as to not block traffic flow.
In order to ensure that only Sunrise residents are utilizing the bus stops located within Sunrise Lake, please be sure you have a SLPOA sticker on your vehicle. Security will be enforcing this at all bus stops including the late bus stop over the next few weeks.
Thank you for helping to keep our community safe.
