The recent vote on the proposed special assessment has concluded and the majority of the community has voted in favor of the initiative.

 The vote results are as follows:

In order to pass, we needed a simple majority of “Yes” votes, with at least 60% of all properties participating (to meet a quorum).  We have exceeded the quorum threshold with 69% of all properties participating in the vote.  66% of voters authorized the special assessment, representing a majority.  As a result, the special assessment is hereby authorized.

The approved special assessment amount is $5,500 per lot or unit. Please note that the collection of this assessment is being carried out through a separate invoice, which has been sent to your email on record with the HOA. The invoice will come to you directly from RVR's QuickBooks account. The invoice will have information regarding payment details inclusive of auto-pay options. You will have the option to make either a partial payment (1/2 of the assessment) or the full payment on or before October 1, 2024. If you are splitting up the payment, the second half of the amount owed is due on or before August 1, 2025. However, we want to emphasize that you are free to make the payment at any time that is convenient for you before the due date.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding the special assessment or the payment process, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We are here to assist you and provide any necessary clarifications.

You may know about the growing trend to replace some or all of your turf lawn grass with native, low-water plants. Ornamental turf lawns are becoming less popular due to the large amounts of water they require. Converting your green lawn to a more natural landscape will conserve water, support biodiversity and pollinator habitat, and enhance drought resistance. For new homes being built in RVR, the owners may propose all low grow native grasses on their properties during their new construction DRC review. Many are opting to do this. For existing homes, there are ways to integrate less thirsty plants into existing landscapes to be more water conscious. Just remember that all proposed landscape changes need to be approved through an Administrative Approval Process or the DRC by submitting this application:  Home Improvement Application - Formstack
