Proposed Enforcement Policy
Posted on Oct 22nd, 2025 Comments (0)
Dear Association Members:
The Association’s Board of Directors (“Board”) consulted with the Association’s corporate counsel to prepare the attached Enforcement Policy and Schedule of Fines (“Fine Policy”) for Diablo Highlands Country Villas Owners’ Association, to comply with changes in California law regarding fines that became effective on July 1, 2025. The Board intends to adopt the proposed Fine Policy at the open meeting on January 28, 2026 at 6:30 p.m., at the clubhouse, 441 Glasgow Circle.
The purpose and effect of the Fine Policy are to comply with Civil Code sections 5850 and 5855, to streamline the enforcement process, and to provide the Board with clearer and better options to levy fines or impose other discipline when there are violations of the Association’s project documents.
All members are encouraged to attend the Board meeting and to provide comments concerning the proposed Fine Policy. Comments regarding the proposed Fine Policy may be submitted to the Community Manager, Stacey Lint at Slint@hoaservices.net by January 21, 2026 or at the Board meeting. The Board will consider all member comments before voting on adoption of the Fine Policy.
Very truly yours,
Management on behalf of

Mini News - E-Bike Safety
Posted on Aug 7th, 2025 Comments (0)
The Town of Danville has seen an massive increase in the amount of e-bike usage throughout the town, on the Iron Horse Trail, and that is expected to increase further with school traffic just around the corner. Even in our neighborhood we've seen e-bikes used on our walking trail and want to make sure all parents and kids are educated on what requirements there are for different class bikes and general e-bike safety.
The Town has a plethora of information available online here: Not My Kid: E-Bike Safety for Families | Danville Town Talks
And has the below infographic to help parents determine whether their kids are allowed to ride different e-bikes and where those bikes may be ridden:
Mini News - Dues Increase - Update your Autopay!
Posted on Jun 17th, 2025 Comments (0)
The HOA annual fiscal year is coming to a close on June 30 with a new dues amount beginning on July 1, 2025 as shared in the Annual Budget Package and Policy Statement.
Effective July 1, 2025, dues will increase to $195 per month. This adjustment is necessary to cover rising insurance premiums, proposed EBMUD and PG&E rate increases and contract costs to ensure that we can continue maintaining the amenities that enhance our community.
Please remember if you are not currently set up on the Association's automatic clearing house (ACH) through our designated bank, you will need to update your auto-pay information independently.
Updating your auto-pay information will depend on where you signed up. If you signed up through your bank, you will need to log into your account and update the amount, usually called “automatic bill pay”. If you signed up through the Management portal, you will need to log into your account at www.hoaservices.net/portal and update the payment through the MAKE A PAYMENT option. Lastly, if you have autopay directly through Alliance Association Bank, you will need to log in there to update your payment amount.
If you pay your dues via check, dues should be mailed to the below address to arrive by the 1st of each month (note payments are late after the 15th)
Diablo Highlands Country Villas
c/o HOA Svcs Proc Ctr
PO Box 95096
Las Vegas, NV 89193
Please note that members who fail to update their auto-pay information may receive late fees for failing to keep their account current. It is crucial to act promptly and make the necessary adjustments before July 1, 2025.
We greatly appreciate your prompt attention to this matter.
Mini News - Neighborhood Traffic
Posted on Jun 10th, 2025 Comments (0)
For years the Management office has heard reports of traffic concerns throughout the community, ranging from parking complaints, speeding, rolling through stop signs, failure to yield for pedestrians, and more. Recently the Association reached out to the Town of Danville about possible traffic calming measures through the Neighborhood Traffic Management Program (“NTMP”).
The first step of the NTMP is to measure traffic speeds and volume in the community. We had this completed over the course of a week or two at three different locations in the community on Glasgow Circle, all midway between stop signs. The placement was chosen to avoid slowing speeds near the stop signs (both prior to and after the stop signs). The radars were placed at points which the Town Engineer believed would see the highest speeds in order to obtain a good understanding of the speeds of drivers in the community.
We have attached the full results of the radar deployment for any interested homeowners; however simplified, the average speeds and the 85th percentile speeds were at or below the speed limit for all three radar locations. Average speeds ranged from 17 to 21 MPH with the 85th percentile speeds between 22 to 25 MPH.
In general this is good news. The vast majority of traffic in the community is at or below posted speed limits and the Town Transportation Analysts found traffic to be appropriate. That being said, we live in a residential neighborhood with a lot of children, dog walkers, and pedestrians abound; please be conscious of your speed in the community, come to full stops at the Stop Signs, and yield to pedestrians.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to the Management Office.
Mini News - Pool & Tennis Rules
Posted on May 29th, 2025 Comments (0)
Diablo Highlands Residents,
With weather warming up, we know there's been an uptick in pool and tennis court usage. With that, we've received several complaints from neighbors about rules, especially around pets, being ignored. Dogs and other pets are not allowed in the pool area or on the tennis courts. Please remind family members and any guests using HOA amenities of this rule.
The restriction on pets in those areas are based in public health and safety. Dog hair in the pool area can blow into the water and clog filters minimizing their efficacy and the cleanliness of our pool. It can also result in additional maintenance costs. Pets running around on the tennis courts often relieve themselves there and we've received repeated reports of pet waste not being picked up.
Similar concerns about glass bottles in use at the pool, which could break and cut up kids feet, have also been reported.
Please review the pool and tennis court rules to familiarize yourself before heading out to enjoy the amenities we all pay for.
Thank you

Mini News - Irrigation Repairs Complete
Posted on Jul 2nd, 2024 Comments (0)
Diablo Highlands Homeowners and Residents,
We wrote to you previously to let you know that BrightView's irrigation team performed inspections of all irrigation systems to which they have access and presented a proposal to the Association for repair. You'll remember that nearly 600 different items needed repairs throughout the community front yards.
BrightView has been working tirelessly the past month on these repairs and we are happy to report they have completed all open work orders for irrigation repairs in the community! Where irrigation was shut off or misaligned, it should now be repaired and we will start to see grass areas come back. Thank you to everyone for your patience as we worked through extensive system repairs.
We hope everyone has a happy and safe Independence Day.
Thank you,
Management on behalf of

Mini News - Pool Etiquette
Posted on Jun 6th, 2024 Comments (0)
As we enjoy the summer season and make use of our community pool, we kindly ask for your cooperation in maintaining the pool area and respecting our property. Please take note of the following reminders and share with members of our family who may not see this notice:
Keep the Gate Closed: For the safety and security of all residents, please ensure that the pool gate is closed at all times. This helps prevent unauthorized access and keeps our pool area secure. On a recent inspection, the pool gate was propped open with a rock - this is extremely dangerous and is not allowed!
Close Umbrellas Upon Leaving: To protect our umbrellas from damage due to wind, please remember to close them before you leave the pool area. This simple action helps preserve our umbrellas so the next pool goer can enjoy some shade as well.
Pick Up Trash: Let’s keep our pool area clean! Please pick up any trash and dispose of it in the trash cans before you leave. Use the provided trash bins to help maintain a tidy environment.
Avoid Breaking Furniture: Our pool furniture is for everyone’s use. Please handle it with care to avoid breakage - that includes using the furniture for its intended use and not as a play structure or for throwing in/around the pool.
No Glass is Allowed: Please do not bring or use any glass bottles in the pool area. Many pool goers walk around on the deck barefoot and broken glass can lead to serious injury.
In general, please be respectful of the shared pool space. Parents, consider having a chat with your teens if they will be at the pool by themselves to remind them of following the rules as well. Remember, damages to the pool add to our HOA costs and repeated issues can contribute to increasing dues. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
Mini News - Irrigation Repairs
Posted on Jun 5th, 2024 Comments (0)
In May, BrightView's irrigation team performed inspections of all irrigation systems to which they have access and presented a proposal to the Association for repair. This proposal included 428 clogged or broken sprinkler nozzles, 102 broken or leaking 4" pop up sprinklers, 59 broken or leaking 6" pop up sprinklers, 21 broken lateral lines, and multiple weeping or stuck valve replacements.
Each year, the Association budgets over $30,000 for irrigation repairs in the front yards of homes. This equates to around $150 total per home for the year and a large portion of that cost goes to repairs found as a part of the irrigation inspection. We also rely on homeowners to report issues they see in their irrigation system to the Management office. Prompt reporting not only helps save your plant life, it also helps save your water bill!
While you're welcome to reach out to Management over busted sprinklers and items in your yard right now, please be aware that these are likely on the radar of BrightView and already in process of repair.
Mini News - Tree Trimming
Posted on May 16th, 2024 Comments (0)
Diablo Highlands Homeowners and Residents,
At the last Board meeting, the Board approved two scopes of tree trimming - crown raising and thinning of the Oak trees on the open space hillside and significant work on trees in the front yards and common areas around homes. BrightView will be performing the front yard scope of work and has detailed trimming plans for 150 trees in the community, including building clearance, deadwood removal, crown thinning, structural pruning, etc. The selected trees were evaluated by a certified arborist and they will be trimmed according to the arborist’s recommendations; we will not be adding additional trees to this scope. The Oak tree work will be performed by Tree West and we will send further email/online notification prior to the scheduled date.
The front yard trimming will take place:
Date(s): Monday, May 27th
Through Friday, May 31st
Please refrain from parking on the street as much as possible during this week for the safety of the crew and protection of your vehicle from dirt and debris. Thank you for you cooperation during this project.

Electronic Consent – Help Us Save Money
Posted on Mar 28th, 2018 Comments (0)
Over the last few years, our Association has seen increased mailing costs as postage and stamps, paper, envelopes and other printing costs have gotten more and more expensive. Currently, the Association budgets $7,000 annually to those printing and mailing costs, and that’s only for Association-wide correspondence (our Management contract includes and covers all mailing costs for individual architectural and compliance communications). Breaking expenses down further, we spend over $30 per home on mailings!
Over the past few years, we’ve done a big push to get homeowners to sign up for email alerts. While it’s been partially successful as we do have 83 homeowners who’ve opted in, 79 of those 83 homeowners opted to receive items via BOTH email and snail mail.
We currently have a total of 4 homeowners who have opted in to “Email Only” correspondence, which means we mail out 208 copies! And unfortunately, a lot of the mailings (Annual Budget Package, Policy Statement, Year End Financials, Contact Information Requests, Statements, etc.) are California State Law requirements, which means even if you don’t read them, we have to send them.
So if you’d like to save the Association $30+ a year, and perhaps keep dues from increasing at a typical rate, please email Management (slint@hoaservices.net or cheryl@hoaservices.net) and opt in to Email Only Communications!
p.s. you can also change your mail settings yourself at: https://online.hoaservices.net
