architectural control of the residence lots and the common lots.
- What is a Board of Directors?

procedures that conform to corporate documents and the law.
- What does a professional Management Company do?

- What is the Association governed by?
- The Association is governed by the Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, CC&R's and the
Rules and Regulations with the Law (local, state and federal). The "Law" supersedes
corporate documents.
- Who is responsible for ensuring that architectural changes comply with Sacramento
City, Sacramento County and California Laws?
- It is the owners responsibility, not the RCCA Board of Directors whether the project
requires a permit or not. Architectural components restricted by City Code usually
include but are not limited to fences, roofs, windows and doors, concreted areas, and
landscape (design and maintenance). There are complex Sacramento City Code
regulations that apply to fences. City Code regulations for fence extensions (additions)
are based on the original fence lines when the house was built.
City Code changes from time to time so be sure to check that your place comply with
current laws. You can check their website or talk to a Development Services Planner at a
City Permitting Office (they can be very helpful). Be sure to consult the Sacramento City
Permitting Office before submitting your plan to the RCCA property manager.
How you can help to keep association costs low? (03/09)
To help our association keep its property management fees down, please contact the
City to report health, safety, nuisance or graffiti issues and city code violations instead of
reporting them to our property management company. Most of these issues are not part
of the RCCA's responsibilities or the property manager's job.
You can reach customer service with the City of Sacramento by dialing #311, 24 hours a
day to report any problem that needs attention by city workers. We recently reported the
potholes left by the water main repair on River City Way and they were filled right away.
