Membership has great benefits including free slash pick up. Your dues also fund projects to improve Carriage Hills such as the recent landscaping and lighting of the entrance sign at Highway 7 and Lakeshore Drive. Thank you for supporting Carriage Hills!
Each year CHPOA offers free slash pickup for paid members. The service helps with fire mitigation. Please cut tree branches to a length of 4 – 5 feet. Place your pile with butt end forward near the road at the front of your property. Please note that pine needles/cones, grass, and other yard waste are not included in the free slash pickup. You may renew your membership up to a few days before the pickup drive begins.
Adams Tree Service handles this service for CHPOA. The slash pickup typically takes place in mid July.
According to the protective covenants of Carriage Hills, you must notify CHPOA when you plan on doing any exterior home improvements. Examples would be painting your house, adding a shed, building a new addition or building a fence. CHPOA has an Architectural Committee composed of the President, Vice-President, and Treasurer whose responsibility is to make sure improvements have “quality of workmanship and materials, harmony of external design with existing structures, and as to location with respect to topography and finish grade elevation.”
Send your drawings or pictures to CHPOA (see our Contact Us page). The approval process is extremely quick and simple, and normally takes less than 48 hours.
Prior to any grading, construction, or maintenance you should check with the Community Development Department (970-577-3l721) and Larimer County Building Division (970-577-2100) to determine if a building permit is required. These organizations can also inform you of any zoning, setback, or other code compliance requirements.
Review the following county publications for regulations regarding accessory structures, setbacks, exterior lighting and fencing.
Finally, before doing any digging on your property, call 811 to have utility companies locate and mark their buried facilities.
HOA stands for Home Owners Association whereas POA stands for Property Owners Association. In a POA every property is included, even empty lots. In a HOA only the properties with homes on them are included. When CHPOA was formed many of the lots were empty so in made sense to form it as a POA. Operationally, both associations function much the same.
See our Invasive Weeds page for information on how you can attack this problem.
Code compliance issues are handled separately in the Town or County areas. If you live in the Town code enforcement is handled by the Police Department. See Town Code Enforcement for more information. If you live in the County contact the Larimer County Code Compliance Office to file a complaint. See the County Code Enforcement for more information.
