You may have paid your 2002 Annual Dues during calendar year 2003, as the 2002 invoice was delayed until late in the year because of a computer system conversion. If you bought your house during 2003, your dues should have been paid at closing.

Most CPN residents belong to two - and sometimes more - levels of Homeowners Associations. Each Association operates independently, with their own Management Company, Board of Directors, and dues payments.

• Annual Dues to the CPN Master Association serve ALL CPN residents.
• You also pay dues directly to one or more Neighborhood HOAs.
  

Click here to see the CPN “Family Tree” of Neighborhoods and Homeowner Associations for a summary of the dues and the services provided by each of the HOA’s, and see the back of this page for contact information. A quick overview of the different roles:

Neighborhood HOAs serve specific subdivisions within CPN

Most CPN neighborhoods have a Neighborhood Homeowners Association. Claremont Estates and Huntington Ridge are the only areas that do not have a neighborhood HOA.

Dues and services vary for each HOA, but can cover items such as private facilities (pools, clubhouses, common grounds); contracting for services such as trash collection; sponsoring neighborhood social activities; and oversight of covenants.

Townhomes, patio homes, and gated neighborhoods have additional Sub-Associations that provide services such as lawn mowing and snow removal for the residents’ property, and maintaining private streets/gates.

[See the enclosed materials for a summary of the dues and services for your neighborhood HOA(s), and contact the Neighborhood HOA’s management company for more information.]

• A representative is selected from each of the neighborhoods.
  
• The Master Association provides a variety of services to enhance the quality of life in CPN.

How are the dues used?

Master Association dues are billed once a year. This year’s dues are $216, or $18 per month and cover the following.

Here is a summary of the monthly allocation of each homeowner’s dues

Master Association Segment - 30% ($64.80 per year; an average of $5.40 monthly)

• CPN newsletter (The Connection), Community web site (www.cpnhoa.org), and e-mail alerts.
• Community-wide social activities, including the annual CPN picnic, Octoberfest, and Easter Egg Hunt.
• Administrative, financial, and legal services, including support of Association operations, and pursuing issues of importance to the community - this includes our battle to eliminate the “Distance Charge” from your phone
  bill, which will save each homeowner $144.00 per year for each phone line in your home!
  

Parks Construction Segment - 70% ($151.20 per year; an average of $12.60 monthly)

• Your dues are combined with developer fees to create a “capital fund” to build new parks in CPN.
• Coyote Ridge Park was built using money from this fund.
• Planning is currently underway for another new park, next to the CPN Community Center (northeast of Castle Pines Parkway and Yorkshire).
• Our Parks Authority manages construction of new parks in CPN.
• Once a new park is built, the CPN Metropolitan District handles operations and maintenance.

Visit throughout this web site or contact the Master Association at 303-482-3078, for more information (including details on services, management, Board of Directors, and meetings) for the CPN Master Association, the Neighborhood HOA’s, and other organizations that serve our community, including:

CPN Metro District is our “local government” that provides water and sewer services, and maintains community parks and open spaces (not private HOA facilities).

Douglas County handles most other local governmental services, including planning for new developments, building permits, license plates, road maintenance, and the Sheriff.

CPN is not part of the Town of Castle Rock, despite the community’s mailing address. CPN residents pay nonresident fees at the Castle Rock Recreation Center, and are not eligible to participate in programs that are restricted to “Castle Rock residents only.”
