Choose an Area - Click on a Subdivision to review Homeowners Association information.
If you live in Maricopa or are moving to town, your home is likely in an HOA, or homeowners association. All of the city’s 19 residential developments – from Acacia Crossings to the Villages at Rancho El Dorado – have them. They are run with the help of eight different management companies with varying monthly fees and amenities. This is a standard feature when it comes to Maricopa new homes that can add value to your community - most of these fees go to upkeep and maintenance of the area, keeping your City of Maricopa real estate looking beautiful and well maintained.
The HOA monthly fees are the “ongoing payments” that a homeowner makes monthly or quarterly on their Maricopa real estate. Some HOAs requirement of two months of fees upon move-in. Please keep in mind that there may be additional one-time fees when buying or selling a home in an HOA community. Be sure to specifically inquire about disclosure fees, capital improvement fees, transfer fees and community enhancement fees. The disclosure fee is always paid by the seller, but any other fees are negotiable in the contract to purchase.
