- Summary of insurance coverage
This summary of the association’s policies of insurance provides only certain information, as required by Section 5300 of the Civil Code, and should not be considered a substitute for the complete policy terms and conditions contained in the actual policies of insurance. Any association member may, upon request and provision of reasonable notice, review the association’s insurance policies and, upon request and payment of reasonable duplication charges, obtain copies of those policies. Although the association maintains the policies of insurance specified in this summary, the association’s policies of insurance may not cover your property, including personal property or real property improvements to or around your dwelling, or personal injuries or other losses that occur within or around your dwelling. Even if a loss is covered, you may nevertheless be responsible for paying all or a portion of any deductible that applies. Association members should consult with their individual insurance broker or agent for appropriate additional coverage.
Common Area Maintenance
Your volunteer HOA Board oversees the operations, landscaping & maintenance of the entry areas into North & South gates and entry mechanisms, our private roads, sidewalks, fencing and trails, cul-de-sacs, storm drains as well as the median between the properties. The HOA Board is also responsible for maintaining our mailboxes, signage, lights, this website and enforcing all HOA Guidelines and Bylaws.

Important Homeowner Notices
Please be advised that California Civil Code Section 1363.05 requires that the Association notify all owners of their right to have copies of the minutes of meetings of the Association's Board of Directors.(Note: All current and historical minutes are posted and maintained on this website.)
1365.l(c) "A member of an association may provide written notice by facsimile transmission or United States mail to the association of a secondary address. If a secondary address is provided, the association shall send any and all correspondence and legal notices required pursuant to this article to both the primary and the secondary address."
Questions regarding the 2015 Operating Budget and Reserve Study should be addressed to the Board of Directors during the Homeowners' Forum of the next regular Board meeting or in writing to RidgeEstatesHOA@gmail.com. The Board meets at least quarterly.
The Board has plans to undertake all maintenance, repairs or replacement of any major component with a remaining life of 30 years or less, as per the 2014 Reserve Study schedule.
Consistent with the reserve funding plan, the Board does not anticipate the levy of one or more special assessments will be required to repair, replace, or restore any major component or to provide adequate reserves.
The board will fund reserves to repair or replace major components with the regular monthly dues assessment. The procedures used for the calculation and establishment of the reserves to defray the future repair, replacement, or additions to those major components that the association is obligated to maintain are defined in the 2014 Reserve Study.
Failure of a member of the association to comply with the alternative dispute resolution requirements of Section 5930 of the Civil Code may result in the loss of the member’s right to sue the association or another member of the association regarding enforcement of the governing documents or the applicable law.
The Ridge Estates HOA has no outstanding loans.
