High Desert Living Calendar of Events
About the NCC
The NCC is charged with making sure all new development meets High Desert architectural and design standards. The goal is to preserve the aesthetic character and value of our community. This is done by following the High Desert Guidelines for Sustainability developed for each of the villages. In order to ensure that new homes are built according to High Desert standards and meet certain governmental requirements, the Association requires a construction deposit of $8,000 for Estate and Premier Lots and $4,000 for Builder Lots. The balance is refunded, less fees, after final NCC approval.
Those proposing new home construction must start the process by contacting the High Desert Community Association Manager at highdesertNCC@hoamco.com at the HDROA office, 10555 Montgomery Blvd. NE, Building 1, Suite 100, 505-314-5862. The office will provide you with the starting point for your project. The committee encourages owners and builders to schedule a preliminary meeting with the committee to discuss the construction project; review the Guidelines for Sustainability and Supplemental Village Guidelines; and discuss requirements before starting a project.
Guidelines for Sustainability
The Guidelines for Sustainability are used in addition to the CC&Rs. These Guidelines begin by introducing the design objectives for High Desert and describe the approach to site planning, architecture and landscape architecture.
