The amount of the annual HOA fee is determined each July and is payable in two equal installments due in September and March. The fee is the same for all 192 lots and is payable by the owner (not by renters). For the fiscal year from July 2025 to June 2026, the semi-annual fee amount is $825. Owners pay this fee online using the homeowner portal that can be accessed using the Owner Login button above.

Some home and yard modifications do not require HOA approval. These are listed in PC&R 8.4, which includes exemptions for interior work and like-with-like repair or replacement. Anything not exempt under 8.4 requires HOA approval before work begins. Submit an architectural request using the Request feature in the homeowner portal (access using Owner Login, above). After logging in, select Request, then select Create New Request. For the request Type, select Architectural. Provide a title and brief description, then complete the form. Attach images or plans sufficient for the architectural committee to be able to visualize what you are planning to do (specific items to address are listed next to the tick box for each type of improvement). You need to explain your plans to affected nearby owners before you submit the architectural request. It is not necessary for the nearby owners to approve, only that they be informed. If they want to object, they should contact the HOA at info@SanElijoHills1.org. Architectural modifications that significantly alter the size or appearance of a dwelling will normally be posted on the agenda of the next board meeting to give the entire community an opportunity to be heard.

Owners and their renters must all comply with the PC&Rs posted on this website. Article 5 (Use Restrictions) is particularly relevant for renters. The HOA deals directly only with its members (the homeowners), so renters needing to resolve issues should approach the HOA through their homeowner. As an exception, renters are encouraged to report water leaks on the slopes by emailing info@SanElijoHills1.org.

Yes, the HOA's board is authorized to impose fines for failure to comply with the PC&Rs. Unpaid fines may lead to the recording of a lien against the property. Typically, the HOA gives the homeowner ample warning and an opportunity to correct the violation before fines are issued.
