What Do HOA Fees Cover in Rancho El Dorado?
Master HOA funds include landscaping of common areas, street lighting, community signage, and basic infrastructure maintenance. Sub-associations cover neighborhood-specific amenities like pools, parks, and enhanced landscaping.
The annual billing schedule varies by association. Most send invoices quarterly or semi-annually. Confirm your schedule with your management company to avoid late fees.
Who Manages Each HOA in Rancho El Dorado?
Three separate companies manage Rancho El Dorado associations. Knowing yours matters when you order disclosure packets or resolve account issues.
| Association | Management Company | Typical Monthly Dues |
|---|---|---|
| Master HOA | FirstService Residential | ~$52 |
| The Villages | CCMC | Master + $41 = ~$93 |
| The Lakes | Associa Arizona | Master + $18–28 = ~$70–80 |
Seller tip: If you have multiple HOAs, order both disclosure packets at the same time. Staggered deliveries can delay closing by 7–10 days.
What HOA Fees Do Sellers Pay at Closing?
Arizona law caps the HOA disclosure/document fee at $400 per association (A.R.S. §33-1806). This covers the resale certificate, governing documents, and financial statements. Sellers pay this fee at closing; it's deducted from your net proceeds.
This $400 cap applies to the disclosure packet itself; it is separate from any potential "Capital Contribution" or "Working Capital" fees, which are also legal but must be explicitly authorized in the association's CC&Rs (A.R.S. §33-442). Review your CC&Rs or ask your listing agent if these apply.
Common seller questions we hear:
- "Can they charge me more than $400?" Only if your CC&Rs include a separate transfer/capital fee. The disclosure packet itself is capped.
- "What if I have two HOAs?" You'll pay up to $400 per association. Budget $800 if you're in a sub-association.
- "How long does it take?" Expect 5–10 business days. Order 2–3 weeks before closing to avoid delays.
How Do I Order the Disclosure Packet?
Your listing agent or title company will request the packet from your management company. Provide your account number and full property address. If balances are unpaid, the association may withhold the packet until you're current.
For buyers: review the packet carefully. It reveals pending special assessments, rental restrictions, parking rules, and architectural guidelines. Your lender may require it for loan approval.
How Do Rancho El Dorado Fees Compare to Other Maricopa Neighborhoods?

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the monthly HOA dues in Rancho El Dorado?
The Master HOA fee is approximately $52 per month for all homes. If you live in The Villages sub-association, you pay an additional $41/month (total ~$93). The Lakes sub-association adds $18–28/month (total ~$70–80).
Who manages the Rancho El Dorado HOA?
FirstService Residential manages the Master HOA. The Villages is managed by CCMC. The Lakes is managed by Associa Arizona. Contact the appropriate company for account questions or to order your disclosure packet.
What fees does a seller pay at closing?
Sellers pay a one-time HOA disclosure/document fee capped at $400 by Arizona law (A.R.S. §33-1806). If your CC&Rs include a capital contribution or transfer fee, that is separate and also legal under A.R.S. §33-442. Review your CC&Rs or ask your agent if these apply.
Are there special assessments in Rancho El Dorado?
Special assessments are rare but possible if the association needs funds for major repairs or upgrades. These are disclosed in the resale packet. Buyers typically assume future assessments; sellers are responsible for any levied before closing.
Can I rent out my home in Rancho El Dorado?
Rental policies vary by sub-association. Some allow unrestricted rentals; others require minimum lease terms (e.g., 6 or 12 months) or board approval. Check your CC&Rs or disclosure packet for specifics.
Why can Rancho El Dorado enforce parking on public streets?
This is a common and excellent question. Unlike most HOAs, Rancho El Dorado's CC&Rs were established in 2000, before the 2013 state law (A.R.S. §33-1818) that prohibited HOAs from regulating public streets. Because its rules were already in place, the association was grandfathered in and retains that authority.
Who are the main utility providers in Maricopa?
For most homes in Maricopa (Pinal County), your electricity provider is Electrical District No. 3 (ED3), your water/sewer provider is Global Water Resources, and your natural gas provider is Southwest Gas.
Is The Duke golf course part of the Rancho El Dorado HOA?
No. The Duke at Rancho El Dorado is a separate, public, daily-fee golf course. Your HOA dues do not pay for its upkeep, and you do not get special access; it is not a private HOA amenity.
Due-Diligence Checklist for Sellers
Complete these steps before listing to avoid closing delays:
- Obtain resale demand letter: Request from your management company to confirm current balances.
- Confirm all balances paid: Clear any outstanding dues, late fees, or violations before ordering the disclosure packet.
- Order disclosure packet early: Submit the request 2–3 weeks before closing. If you have multiple HOAs, order both at the same time.
- Clarify rental policy: If the buyer plans to rent, confirm lease restrictions and approval processes in your CC&Rs.
- Confirm point-of-sale fees: Review your CC&Rs for capital contribution or transfer fees beyond the $400 disclosure cap. Add these to your net sheet.
