THE PRACTICAL DETAILS THAT ACTUALLY MATTER

HOAs, Costs & Key Contacts in Rosedale

The Two HOAs — Explained Simply

Most homes in Rosedale are part of two homeowners associations. This is common in larger master-planned communities.

Master HOA (RMHA)

Oversees the entire community, including The Resort, major parks, trails, entry features, and overall community standards.

Sub-Neighborhood / Village HOA

Specific to your street or tract. Handles localized landscaping, smaller parks, and neighborhood-specific rules.

Important Costs When Buying or Selling

Mello-Roos Special Taxes (CFD 2005-1)

An additional tax on top of regular property taxes that helped fund roads, parks, and infrastructure when the community was developed.

For Buyers Expect roughly $4,000–$7,000+ per year initially for Special Tax A, plus approximately $423–$571/year for Special Tax B (maintenance). Exact amounts vary by home size and zone.
For Sellers You must disclose this tax and clear any delinquent amounts before closing. Buyers will receive a formal “Notice of Special Tax” during escrow.
0.5% Transfer Contribution (Canyon City Foundation)

This is a recorded covenant on Rosedale properties. When you sell, the seller is responsible for paying 0.5% of the gross sale price to the Canyon City Foundation.

Important: This fee is the seller’s responsibility. It should be handled at closing. We always make sure it is properly addressed during any transaction.
