- What is the difference between a Metro District and an HOA?
-
A Metro District is a quasi-municipal corporation and political subdivision of the State of Colorado formed pursuant to Sections 32-1-101, et seq., C.R.S. As a governmental entity, we are bound by similar rules as city governments, and the majority of our income is collected through property taxes. The Metro District was established to help fund the infrastructure of the community as well as to pay for the operations of the District.
A Homeowners Association is a not-for-profit corporation in the State of Colorado. HOAs are governed by the Colorado Common Interest Ownership Act (CCIOA). The funds for HOAs are collected through Assessments.

- What kind of snow removal is done for the District?

The District provides snow removal for the common areas, including alleys, sidewalks, and paths to townhomes. The paths to the townhomes are only done to the fence or front step; the area beyond that is the homeowner's responsibility.
The District has a 2-inch trigger for snow removal; this means that there has to be an average of 2 inches of snow in the community before the crews come out. We do our best to address icy areas as well.
