Assessments FAQs

What are the assessment amounts I have to pay?
All Rams Hill owners belong to two associations, the Rams Hill Community Association (master) and their respective neighborhood association (sub-association). There are seven sub-associations within Rams Hill, each with differing assessments. 

To determine your assessment amount:

Add the master association + your sub-association (aka your neighborhood association) = total assessments

Master Association Sub-Association 2023 Assessment Amount Total Assessments
Rams Hill Community Association   $304.51/month  master +sub-assoc.
  Carrizo $10.00/month $314.51/month
Casitas $280.00/month 584.51$/month
Estates $350.00/year $304.51/month + $350.00/year
San Felipe $90.00/month $394.51/month
Santa Fe $550.00/month $854.51/ month
Santa Rosa $475.00/month $779.51/month
Vallecitos $184.00/year $304.51/month + $184.00/year

Why do assessments differ by sub-associations?
Assessments differ based on what each Association covers. Please refer to your sub-association's Matrix of Responsibilities for details on maintenance obligations. 

The following four sub-associations do not have a Matrix of Responsibility:
1. Carrizo
2. Estates
3. San Felipe (Rams Hill Golf Course Homesites One)
4. Vallecitos

Why don't some sub-associations have a Matrix of Responsibility? 
If a sub-association does not have a Matrix of Responsibilities, homeowners are responsible for all maintenance items.

Are assessments optional and/or negotiable?
Duty to Pay - Since HOAs are entirely dependent upon the regular and timely payment of assessments by all homeowners, California courts recognize the need to collect those assessments; therefore, assessments are mandatory and non-negotiable. 
Duty to Collect - Boards of directors have a duty to levy regular and special assessments sufficient to maintain the common areas.  Uncollected assessments are an asset belonging to the membership. Failure by the board to collect that asset puts a burden on paying members who must make up the difference in the association's budget. Uncollected assessments can result in higher dues, special assessments, and reduced services. Leaving delinquent assessments uncollected too long can result in bad debt. High delinquency rates and poor collection efforts can also negatively impact the association's ability to obtain bank loans. Lenders look at an association's delinquency history to gauge its ability to repay a loan.
