1. What are the HOA dues and when do I have to pay them?
The dues for 2026 are $1,694 – which includes a $121 fence reserve fund allocation and a $191 trash allocation. Homestead dues are due and payable annually every March 1 and are considered late on March 2. Assessments are mailed to every homeowner by January 15. Call the Business Office at 303-793 if you have not received an assessment for the current year. Learn more about Dues and Assessments here and sign up for PayHOA, our online payment system, here. Information about the community-approved perimeter fence assessment is available here.
2. Do I have to get Architectural Control Committee (ACC) approval for my project?
Probably. Most exterior changes to your house must be approved by the ACC before you start the project or order any materials. Backyards are included. Applications are available online here or in hard copy in the mailbox outside the Business Office at 5896 E. Geddes Ave. Please allow review time of at least two weeks from submittal of all pertinent information, and keep in mind that the committee has 30 days to consider your project under our community bylaws. Please check the Residential Improvement Guidelines. Approvals are valid for one year. If you have not started your project within a year of the approval, you will need to resubmit a new application.
3. If I see a house color, a door or a window style I like in the neighborhood can I just install it on my home?
No. Just because you see it in the neighborhood does not mean it is compliant with current guidelines. There are elements which are no longer accepted due to various factors. This is why it’s important to make sure any change you make is allowed.
4. What should I do if my neighbor is violating the HOA covenants?
You can report the possible violation by completing a “Possible Covenant Violation” form available here or available in hard copy in the mailbox outside the Business Office doors at 5896 E. Geddes Ave.
5. Will my neighbor know I reported him?
The office does not release the name of the reporting party. However, the office will not act on an unsigned report. You must state your name and telephone number when reporting a possible violation. Otherwise, the Board of Directors could be accused of unfairly targeting a homeowner.
6. Why can’t the Board or Business Office just complete the form?
The Board of Directors are volunteers and don’t have time to patrol the neighborhood looking for covenant violations. Doing so could also open them to accusations of arbitrarily targeting a homeowner.
7. How do I report a Street light outage?
Residents can notify the City of Centennial on their website :https://www.centennialco.gov – where you need to select: ‘Report an Issue’.
8. When is the Annual Member Meeting?
All residents are encouraged to attend the Annual Member Meeting, which is held from 7pm to 9pm the second Monday in March at the Homestead Elementary School gym, 7451 S. Homestead Pkwy.
9. Who is Homestead’s trash and recycling company and when is pickup?
Waste Connections (303-288-2100) is the trash and recycling collector for Homestead. Pickup is every Wednesday and recycling is every other Wednesday. A printable calendar can be found here. An online schedule is available here.
10. I think a sprinkler is broken in a common area. Who do I call?
Please text Homestead’s irrigation contractor at 303-660-8360. Please give specific information about where you have spotted the actively running water so that the technician can locate the break quickly. A photo is extremely helpful to include with your text.
11. I don’t agree with the ACC’s decision on my project or I have been cited for a violation. What do I do?
Every homeowner is entitled to a hearing before the Board of Directors after a formal appeal to the ACC. Homeowners must submit a written appeal and appear in person. Appearing in person allows the homeowner to answer any questions the Board might have. Please submit written appeal to homesteadacc@gmail.com and include your name, address and contact number.
