FAQ

The HOA's regular Assessment fees are payable in two installments on September 1st and March 1st of every year. The fees are adjusted annually and currently are set at $725 per half-year. These fees pay for all of the HOA's expenses, most of which is watering and maintenance of the trees and vegetation on the slopes that are prevalent throughout our neighborhood, but also go towards maintenance of our monuments and cover any expenses incurred in managing the association and covenants. The majority of homeowners will receive an invoice by email and can pay the invoice electronically. Homeowners who request postal mail should send their payments to Mother Lode Bookkeeping (see the Contact Us page).

No. The slopes are private property owned by the adjacent homeowners, therefore anybody on the slopes (except for those hired to maintain the landscape) is trespassing. Please do not walk, play, or bike on the slopes as this can damage the plants and incur more maintenance costs for our HOA.

About one-half of the properties in the community have easements on both sides of the home. This allows a homeowner to landscape and have exclusive use of the land up to the adjoining neighbor's exterior wall. Along with this privilege comes restrictions. The original developer was thoughtful in restricting the size and height of side windows for privacy, and in creating side set back requirements for structures. In general, these are common sense courtesy guidelines for both neighbors affected by the easements. These restrictions are contained in the official documents received by every homeowner when buying their home. See the PC&R‘s on the Documents page. Modification submittals (via the Request for Architectural Improvement form) should address these easement restrictions.
