2023 HOA Dues Update
Hello homeowners:
During the December 8, 2022 HOA board meeting, the board voted to increase the 2023 dues to $747.50, (15%). The 2023 dues invoice will be sent out via email to all members the first week of January. Full payment is due within 30 days.
If all members pay their dues, the amount will total $123,337.50 giving us a little more cushion over last year although with rising costs it will still be close as was this year. You all know our dues are spent primarily on snow removal and road maintenance.
We hope we have an increase in members attending and participating in our board meetings whether in person or virtually. The board needs to hear your concerns.
Please contact the board with any questions: board@cedarhighlandshoa.org
Thank you

Questions About the Road Conditions?
If you have any questions or concerns involving the roads, please direct to:
Winter has arrived a bit early, so remember that road conditions can rapidly change this time of year. Keep your chains in your vehicle, use 4WD/AWD when on the road, and SLOW DOWN. The mountain is unforgiving when it comes to speed and not being prepared, so be ready for the conditions as much as you can be!

HOA Project Information
We have several possible projects in our community that promote improving the infrastructure and the safety of our shared/community property. The projects will be in the upper meadow. With the scope of the projects involving “Common Area” as described in the HOA CC&R’s article 3. Section 1.(c), we need to review and vote on these projects. As per the CC&R’s, the board is required to get a 2/3rd vote before entering into an agreement that uses “Common Area” to provide this additional infrastructure to our community.
Both projects provide huge benefit in the event of an emergency. For example, there will be increased water storage for fire protection, a heated fire house with a fire engine that is filled with water, ready to go, a Helipad in the event of emergency evacuation. Residents and the surrounding homes on the mountain would have access in a medical emergency or fire to life saving evacuation.
It has always been desired by the Cedar Highlands community to have services like these. We tried facilitating them as a town; in the end no one liked the increased taxes and expense, so the town was disbanded. It will never be cheaper for us than having these services provided by Iron County through our MSF tax assessment. That tax is spread over all the residents of Iron County, 50,822 residents, versus trying to cover these costs with 165 lot owners.
Project 1 – New Underground Water Storage Tank
UPDATE: Details of this project are still being finalized.
The first project is the addition of a 500,000-gallon underground, cement water storage tank to increase the water reserves needed for Cedar Highlands, which also improves fire protection. Our current upper meadow tank holds 165,000 gallons. Click Here for additional details about this project.
Project 2 – New Fire House and Helipad
The second project is a Fire House and Helipad to further protect the residents and surrounding communities (that are proposed to be at the expense of Iron County, NOT the community). Click Here for additional details about this project.

What Are Those Silver Trash Cans Along The Main Road For?
July 2021
Homeowners, you may have noticed silver trash cans in various places on the main road. These trash cans are labeled with CH and contain a sand/gravel mixture. This can be used by residents to help prevent sliding or slipping.

Important ARC Reminder to all HOA Members
