The Ash Meadows Metropolitan District

The Ash Meadows Metropolitan District (the District) is a quasi-municipal corporation and political subdivision of the State of Colorado. The District's boundaries wholly encompass the Ash Meadows at Sage Creek Subdivision - a 56-unit townhome neighborhood - and the District's board of directors are elected solely by Colorado registered voters living and/or owners of the 56 townhome units. The District has no debt - a rare characteristic among metro districts - and provides the following services to the neighborhood: (1) maintaining the open spaces and parks within the neighborhood, (2) maintaining the alleyways and parking spaces servicing the townhome units and (3) monitoring and enforcing the neighborhood's restrictive covenants and maintenance standards applicable to every unit.
