Service Area #5 (SA5) is a funding mechanism set up by Summit County to help us fund infrastructure and capital improvements such as roads, sewer, and electricity.  The County collects money from each lot owner as a line item on your property tax bill based on your property value.  The collected money is then given to the SA5 Board –an elected Board separate from the Rockport Ranches Property Owners Association Board- who ensure that the money is spent only for approved expenses.  One of the major benefits of this mechanism is that, because the money is collected via your property tax bill, all lot owners must pay this assessment or be subjected to legal action by the County (liens, foreclosure, etc).  This ensures that those people that do not pay their annual POA dues pay at least something towards the upkeep of the subdivision.
