Protect Your Pets!  Please take care to not let your pets roam free within the Village, or unattended for extended periods of time in your backyard. What makes our neighborhood unique is our diverse and beautiful wildlife, but in choosing to live here we must also learn to co-exist with the wildlife and understand that predators such as coyotes, bobcats, and birds of prey will attack and kill cats and small dogs if given the opportunity. An electric fence keeps a pet in the yard but does not deter a wild animal from entering! And do not put pet food outside which attracts animals. Note that our covenants state that household pets are not to be left outside unattended.

Need a New Mail Box Flag? CPV covenants require a particular type of mailbox and accompanying mailbox flag. Replacement mailboxes can be purchased directly from Accent Mail Boxes at 303.733.3993. However, the red flags can be purchased at the Homes Association office for $15 cash or check.
