The following information is provided for real estate agents and prospective and current owners within the Cloud Country Estates subdivision. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.

Note: No property may be sold or transferred from a seller who has outstanding balances with either the POA or the Club.

Governance

The Estates is similar to a small municipality requiring the same attention as any small city. Consequently, the operating and maintenance costs are the responsibility of the property owners. Responsibility for the operation and maintenance of all the facilities within the subdivision rests with the Property Owners Association. These responsibilities are administered by a Board of Directors elected annually by the property owners. Additionally, since this is a private subdivision, all activities within it are required to comply with the By-Laws and Covenants adopted by the property owners and implemented by the Board, as well as New Mexico state laws.

Annual Dues and Fees

• The current annual POA dues are:

• The current annual Club dues are $675.00.* There is also a $100 one-time fee due upon the closing — please work with your agent on this or contact us. Note all owners are required to pay Club dues and fees as the Club manages not only the amenities but also community areas such as roads leading into the neighborhood. The Club also employs the full-time property technician.
• Please note these fees often increase annually due to inflation.
• In addition, the need for periodic one-time special assessments are reviewed by the Board each year and can fluctuate and add costs of ownership depending on the needs of the subdivision.
• There are other fees associated with construction outlined in the governing documents below.
