Too often people are confusing the Pine Ridge Property Owners Association Inc., (Service Corporation) with the Civic Association and visa versa.
Every Pine Ridge property owner belongs to the Pine Ridge Property Owners Association Inc., and each year you pay a maintenance fee depending on the size of your property. This is a fee that is paid to maintain all the common areas, i.e., tennis courts, barn, shuffleboard and horseshoe courts and community center, mowing of the swales, etc. The Board of Directors elected by you the property owners to manage your money.
The Pine Ridge Civic Association, Inc. (PRCA) is a group that you may voluntarily choose to join, by paying yearly dues of $8.00 per person. The PRCA meets on the 2nd Monday of each month at 7:00 PM at the Community Center with occasional guest speakers followed by refreshments.
