About Us
posted: 1/1/2012
McCormick Ranch, with an estimated population of over 30,000 people, is one of the largest planned community developments in the country.When the master developer, Kaiser-Aetna, purchased the McCormick working ranch in 1969, it was the largest single piece of property sold for a planned community within the confines of a city's limits and one of the first to commit to underground utilities. The transformation of 4,236 acres of barren land into a world-renowned, mixed-use community did not happen by chance - nor does it continue to grow and prosper without proper guidance and adequate financial resources.
Direction comes from an elected Board of Directors and funding comes from a variety of sources. All residential property owners on McCormick Ranch are automatically members of the McCormick Ranch Property Owners' Association and pay an assessment fee which, in total, equates to 43% of the Association's income. The Annual Assessment per residential property owner for 2012 is $190.00.
Commercial property owners' pay an annual "Special Use Fee" based on Assessed Valuation, which equates to 50% of the Association's total income. The remaining 7% of the Association's funding comes from Maintenance Agreements, interest income, transfer and purchaser statement fees, and various other miscellaneous sources.
These monies are utilized to maintain the common areas, enforce the Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions, pay for related operating and capital expenditures including capital equipment and capital improvements and maintain a contingency fund for emergency purposes. Amongst other activities, the Association maintains 122 acres of turf, 50 acres of decomposed granite, 34 acres of lakes, 18 acres of medians and 16 acres of other common areas.
It assesses and monitors commercial property values of over $900,000,000 and issues hundreds of violation Notices for restriction infractions during the year. The McCormick Ranch Property Owners' Association has become a model for other planned communities across the nation for several reasons.
Foremost, McCormick Ranch is successful because of the pride of its residents. Maintenance of the common areas is a top priority. Enforcement of the recorded Declaration of Restrictions helps retain its character. Guidance and proper planning by its leaders assure that it will always be one of the best places to live and enjoy life.
