Good afternoon and Happy New Year!

It is OFFICIALLY time to ring in the New Year. 2020 has certainly been one for the record books, and we are all looking forward to a fresh start!

With that in mind, the management team here at Sonoma Verde is working on a few projects to jump into 2021 that we want to keep you up to date on.

Pond Fountain and Light Repair
The Lake Doctor is working to make necessary repairs this week.

Clock Tower Repair
Americlock is scheduled to begin repairs in early January to straighten the clock faces on the clock tower at the community entrance.

2021 Budget
The Board of Directors has approved the operating budget for 2021.
  • There are no changes with the assessment rate with the approved budget, which remains $165.00 per quarter.
  • The approved 2021 budget is available on the Sonoma Verde Website under the "Resources" tab.

Quarterly Assessments
Assessments are due the first of every quarter: January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1.
  • There is a 30 day grace period before late fees are applied, following the Sonoma Verde collection policy.
Lunch n Learn
The management team will begin hosting a “Lunch N Learn” series in January where you are invited to join us for a community update on Facebook live.
  • Residents can submit questions in advance and we will answer those questions during each monthly webinar.

HOA 101
We will also be hosting new resident orientations quarterly, beginning in January, with the goal to offer new residents to Sonoma Verde an opportunity to meet the management team and get comfortable with the ins and outs of their new home!

I hope you all have a safe and happy New Year! We look forward to another great year with you here at Sonoma Verde!

Thank you,

The new department's goal begins with education, so the public understands the mission and vision for the office.

Do you "do" New Year's Resolutions? If yes, what is yours for 2021?
I have never been one for resolutions, but if I did it would probably be to spend more time with family.

I need to prioritize family time this year, so that's going to be my goal for the new year.

Do you "do" New Year's Resolutions? If yes, what is yours for 2021?
I haven't ever explicitly picked a resolution. Maybe this is the year?

Whether it's a resolution or not, I AM going to make a more concerted effort to focus on my finances: increase contributions, save more, basically set some financial goals and stick to them.
