If you still need to drop off your vehicle device information, there is a drop box outside the Patrol office.  If the office needs additional information, they will call you. View the form and device information here. (PDF)

Gate Codes | Restoring the gate codes is a work in progress. New software was installed in October and information was uploaded, but did not transfer properly. Shortly after discovering the issues, COVID infected the Patrol office, delaying the process of correcting the data. The Patrol is working daily to correct the data and as soon as the homeowner codes are active, an announcement will be sent to the community.

Patrol is open Monday through Friday from 8:00am to 4:00pm (closed from 12:00pm to 12:30pm for lunch). To make an appointment, please call 480.802.4937. Mobile Patrol can be reached at 480.797.6508.

No one will be allowed to enter the office without a mask and an appointment. Thank you.

Weeds are opportunists. The mild weather and recent rains make it prime weed season. Plan to pull or spray for them in the upcoming weeks. A pre-emergent works well if put down before the weeds sprout.

Architecture & Landscape Department is open Monday through Friday from 8:00am to 4:00pm (closed from 12:00pm - 12:30pm for lunch).

Please call 480.802.2776 to schedule an appointment.

Join us in the Ballroom for a seminar on Affordable and Comprehensive Estate Planning Solutions. Planning is Essential. Do you have a Plan? Everyone should attend this seminar, even if you have a Will or a Trust. A good estate plan coordinates what happens to your home, savings, investments, and retirement accounts. Understand why a Will is not enough. Learn how to set up a Power of Attorney for healthcare or finances. Learn why many people with Living Trusts will end up in probate, and how to avoid this. Find out what may have changed, needs updating, or is still applicable in Arizona. This seminar is presented by Attorney Richard M. Dwornik. Seating is limited and you must RSVP via email or by calling 480.809.1014 to reserve your seat.

February 13th | 8:00am - 11:00am | Field of Dreams Softball Field
