Governing Documents

To enhance the long-term benefits of living in this community, provisions have been taken to help maintain its continued attractiveness. This introduction is intended to provide you with a general understanding of both the benefits and the expectations associated with owning a home in Cedar Hills. This community is governed by a hierarchy of laws, restrictions and rules as described in this document. The Declaration of Covenant, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs), which was recorded at the time the community was created in 1946, is recorded against each lot and therefore, the owner of each lot is subject to the terms and conditions set forth.

The CC&Rs establish the community standards for maintaining the homes and surrounding landscaping in addition to prohibited uses or activities. The benefit of living in a community with CC&Rs is an attractive environment to live in with strong property values. Each homeowner is a member of the association and pays assessments annually in accordance with the budget.

Some areas within the community have street lights which are owned and maintained by HACH. Homes in street lit areas pay a higher assessment to cover the cost of electricity, maintenance, and required reserves for replacement. All street lights were replaced in 2003 and converted to LED in 2015.

The current assessment fees are:

  • Base Assessment: $191.00, annually

  • With street light: $212.00, annually

The CC&Rs also provide for architectural control of exterior changes to homes and lots within the association. In order to assure continued quality of this community and conformance with the restrictions and board policy, a no cost permit is required for all exterior improvements. Permits are required to be submitted and approved prior to the commencement of any planned improvements. A permit committee - currently comprised of board directors - reviews requests for exterior changes to the home such as fencing, storage sheds, painting, roofing, window replacement, decks, spas, and the like. Major remodeling and additions must be approved by the full board of directors at a monthly meeting. 

Permit applications can be obtained at the Associations office or downloaded here. Policies regarding most items requiring permits can be found here. Office staff can explain permit requirements if you have any questions.
