How are my assessments calculated and who decides what I pay?
Assessments are calculated based on the market value of your home. The rate is 0.18 per $100. For example, if the market value of your home is $500,000 your calculation would be as follows:
$500,000 divided by $100 = $5,000 x 0.18 = $900.

Why do we have a residential board and a master board?
When the community was established, the developer chose to create the Master Board to manage maintenance projects and enhancements to the community. The Master Board oversees landscape, irrigation, bridge maintenance, walkways along canals, lighting, and many other components in the community.
The Residential Board was established to oversee lifestyle and create a sense of community through events, programs, classes and other activities. The Residential Board develops relationships and brings the community together through activities that encourage residents to get out and meet their neighbors.
The Commercial Board was established to represent and oversee commercial business and properties within Valley Ranch. The Commercial Board also connects businesses throughout Valley Ranch to further bring the community together and facilitate positive growth, communication and shared resources.
These three boards each have important roles in the Valley Ranch community. If you are interested in serving on a board, please contact the office at (972)-869-1430.
