Monthly HOA Assessments and fees
The HOA monthly assessment is $220.00(2024) for all units, which includes a portion allocated to the Reserve Fund for major repairs and capital improvements.
The HOA monthy assessment covers all exterior maintenance including: exterior lighting, roof maintenance, carports, General Common Area foundations, lawn and grounds care using irrigation water provided by our shares of water with the Grand Valley Irrigation District, irrigation pump room and automated watering system, Sanitation, refuse pick-up, snow removal (when necessary), and common HOA Insurance (not to be confused with the individual unit owner's policy).
Due to utility company metering logistics, the units within the 12-plex buildings, (700, 800 and 900) are charged separately for utilities in addition to the HOA monthly assessment. The utility charges provide each unit with domestic water (Ute Water) and Xcel Energy charges for heating and hot water. The Xcel Energy charges are based on the actual utility energy usage per building and are allocated per a unit's square footage for each unit within the building. Therefore, utility charges range depending on the size of the unit within each building. ** See HOA Assessments - Unit Specific. Westwood has no control over these rates, they are billed to the HOA directly through Xcel Energy and Ute Water.
The individual owner will also need to establish their own account with Xcel Energy for electrical service and, if desired, cable TV and internet.
