Each Rockwood homeowner is responsible for paying annual assessments by February 28th of each year. Assessments are currently $230 with invoices mailed the first week of January. A $100 fee will be assessed for late payments.

If you would like to become a member of the board or otherwise participate in common area maintenance or planning Rockwood events, please contact a Rockwood Board member.
As you make landscaping and structural improvements to your home; the fastest way to increase the value of your property, please contact HOA Management Services to review your plans to determine if approval from the Rockwood Board of Directors is necessary.
Fences (new or replacement), decks, additions, sheds and paint color are among the most common improvements that may require approval. The covenants contain more specific information. The Approval Form is available here or a fillable form can be requested from HOA Management.
The recreational facility is a private, limited membership facility is dedicated to bringing friendly, family-focused, safe recreation at an affordable price to its members.
The playground area, basketball and volleyball court are open throughout the year.
Detailed information on pool membership, swim team membership and swim lessons in included on the RRF page.
Social events such as the annual Easter Egg hunt, July 4th parade, neighborhood picnic and Naional Night Out are examples of activities in the neighborhood.
The entrances are the first impression of our beautiful neighborhood; and our park is a highlight of the neighborhood. While the lawn service takes care of the mowing, leaves, general maintenance, it all needs a plan and a bit of elbow grease to get it and keep it nice.
The board is looking for neighbors to help plan, weed, water, perhaps to "adopt" an entrance and adjacent median to help maintain and beautify these common areas. Weeding, watering, trimming, some planting and cleanup with an occasional workday, in an organized effort, will help take these tasks from daunting to manageable, and the results reflective of the pride we have in our homes.
Whether the area is right next to your house, or just a few doors down, more help means lighter work with greater rewards. Please contact a board member if you would be willing to donate your time to help.
The Rockwood directory is live!!!
Rockwood is a community that is stronger when we know our neighbors and are engaged in our neighborhood. For that time when the homeowners down the street left their garage door open or perhaps you somehow left yours open, or you see something concerning or suspicious, knowing who and how to call, would be courteous, neighborly and safer.
Rockwood directory information, is available only to Rockwood homeowners on its website, https://rockwoodneighborhood.org/,
Every homeowner who provided their email address or who expressed an interest in receiving access to the directory should have an email invitation to access by Rockwood. To set up access takes only a few minutes. Homeowners set and control their own password. Here is more detailed information.
IF YOU DID NOT RECEIVE AN EMAIL INVITE - OR IF YOUR INVITE WINDOW HAS EXPIRED, PLEASE EMAIL rockwoodhomeownersassociation@gmail.com to get started.
You may restrict use of some or all information or opt-out Please note this information will be included in the directory unless we receive communication from you via mail or email.
We will no longer provide a paper version.
This directory information is For Private Use Only, provided as a courtesy for Rockwood homeowners and is not to be provided in any format to anyone outside of Rockwood, for any purpose.
Even if you opt-out of the directory process, please provide your e-mail address to stay informed and up to date on neighborhood news through Rockwood gmails, Only newsletters, neighborhood updates and security notifications are sent as needed; and this is a great way to communicate concerns and suggestions to the Rockwood Board.
Rockwood has renewed its residential trash agreement with Waste Connections, resulting in a savings to Rockwood homeowners. This agreement was effective April 1, 2022, and valid for the next five (5) years and cannot increase more than 5% per year in years two through five.
Waste collection fees, per quarter, are as follows:
This benefit is available to any Rockwood home opted into the Rockwood Association and in good standing with annual dues. Homeowners, when contracting with Waste Connections, must simply identify their home as part of Rockwood to get the discount. Fifteen residences identified during this renewal process that were still paying full price were updated to receive the discount. Check your billing to ensure you are getting this discount!
In addition, the dumpster in the Rockwood Recreational Facility will be emptied five times per week. Residents are please asked to respect the rules for use of this dumpster to not overfill, dump mattresses or other prohibited items or place items on the ground around the dumpster.
In a time of rising prices, this is a win, and another great reason to be a part of the Rockwood Homeowners Association.
