Modifying Your Property

Some home repairs and improvements—especially exterior alterationsrequire review and approval by the High Desert Modifications Committee. Examples include additions (extra rooms, patio covers, etc.), replacement of your roof, stucco, windows, driveways and sidewalks, changes to exterior block walls and major changes to landscaping. 

Keep in mind that plants visible by neighbors must also be on the Approved Plant List pdf.

Other Design Features:

Here are some guidelines for certain minor changes to your property:

• Basketball Backboards may be installed after approval from the Modifications Committee. The privacy of adjacent lots, color, obtrusiveness of its location and screening by landscaping are considered.

• Antennas and Satellite Dishes must be located in places that minimize visibility from neighboring lots, common areas or the street.

• Awnings are not allowed. 

Flagpoles with decorative flags, balloons, beacons or banners are not permitted except as approved by the Modifications Committee or Board for special events.

Roof Color Requirements

High Desert homeowners considering replacing their roofs now have a one-page summary of HDROA's roofing color requirements, suitable for sharing with roofing contractors as decisions on color and materials are made.

Owners installing a new roof are reminded that any external change to the dwelling requires prior approval by the Modification Committee (MC). The MC has a “fast-track” process to approve roof replacements when specifications are identical to the original approved roof. Proposals to change the roof materials will require full review by the MC, which meets monthly. See Online Forms for more information about submitting a modification request to HOAMCO.

Trash & Recycling

Monday is our trash and recycling day here in High Desert. Solid waste pickup is weekly; your containers should be at the curb by 7 a.m. Please do not put them out any earlier than necessary and please remove them from the curb as soon as possible after dumping. When your containers are not in use, High Desert rules require that they be stored in your garage or behind your wall, screened from public view.

Recycling

Curbside recycling service is also provided every Monday. We are fortunate that Albuquerque accepts a wide range of recyclable items. The website www.cabq.gov/solidwaste/recycling/acceptable-materials provides a full list.

Read More

Items for curbside recycling should be placed in your blue recycling bin, and that bin should be placed at least 5 feet from your trash can. Again, it should be properly secured so that the contents do not blow around. They don't accept glass, so take that to a recycling convenience center by the Bear Canyon Senior Center or behind the Sonic next to Lowes.

Further information on Albuquerque's trash and recycling programs may be found at the Solid Waste Management Department website at www.cabq.gov/solidwaste/

Property Taxes

All property is assessed for tax purposes by the Bernalillo County Assessor as of January 1 of each year. 

Around the first of April, you will receive a Notice of Value specifying the dollar value of your lot and home that will be used in calculating that year’s property tax bill. It pays to review this Notice carefully, as you have only a limited amount of time to file a protest if you believe your property has been assessed incorrectly.

Read More

Additionally, many residents overlook the exemptions to which they may be entitled. Every New Mexico resident is allowed a $2000 “Head of Family” exemption on their primary residence and Veterans may qualify for an additional exemption of up to $4000. These exemptions are not automatic, however. You must complete the form included on the Notice of Value and return it by the date specified to receive these exemptions for the current year. (After the first year, they will continue to appear until ownership changes.)

Property assessments and tax bills are a matter of public record. If you’re interested in knowing how your assessment compares to that of your neighbors, go to the Bernalillo County website at www.bernco.gov/ and select "Search Records" under the "Residents" menu then click on “Property Records Search."
