This years annual meeting of the Homeowners Association will be held on April 8, 2025 at 7 p.m. at the Clubhouse.

On December 14, 2024, the Rockwell Estates Homeowners Association board convened for their end-of-year meeting to discuss the 2025 dues. The board unanimously voted to increase the dues from $319 to $350.

According to the governing documents of Rockwell Estates Homeowners Association, the board of directors may raise dues by up to 10% each year with a simple majority vote.

Click here to view the minutes. 

We have a new rule violation reporting system. Residents are encouraged to report violations to the governing documents. The report will be validated and should the violation be found true, a letter will be sent to the resident. Letters provide a short period of time for remediation before fines begin. Fines start at $75.00 depending upon the violation.

The Board is aware of the recent Missouri law passed by the legislature and signed by Governor Parsons concerning chickens and HOA restrictions. Under this new law, a lot must be at least 0.2 acres to be eligible. In Rockwell Estates, only about 15 homes meet this size requirement. If you're uncertain whether your lot qualifies, please contact Caleb for assistance.

The Board is committed to enforcing this law. Residents found in violation will be subject to fines.

The pool will close for the season on September 21, 2024 at midnight. 

We will host a doggie-swim on September 22, 2024 at 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. This will be unmonitored. 

The 2024 annual block party will be held on Saturday, September 28, 2024. All residents are welcome to join! 

We will also be doing a ribbon cutting at the new park along with food, games, and other activities. 

All residents will be receiving via mail an updated 2024 pool agreement. You may mail it back or upload it by visiting the Community Pool page on this website.

The Rockwell Estates Homeowners Association is pleased to announce the following members of the Board of Directors:

Due to the need to drain the pool this year, we will not be having a doggie swim.

The board has established an ad-hoc activities director that will coordinate annual community events. Danielle Peterson of North Cloverdale, will fill this role. She will be responsible for coordinating events for the following:

• Back to School Block Party (September 25th from 3 p.m. - 8 p.m. at the Clubhouse)

• Easter Egg Hunt (April 2023)

• May Garage Sale (May 2023)

• 4th of July Bash (July 2023)

This will be the first year we've had an activities director, so the position will exist on a year-by-year basis.

To replace outgoing board member Brian Williamson, former board member Jodi Sheier was voted on by the current board to complete the term vacated by Brian. 

The board and HOA greatly appreciates the hard work and dedication Brian showed during his tenure as president.

Jodi's term will end April 2025.

Rockwell Estates has retained Homes Associations of Kansas City to provide management services to the association.  You will be receiving a letter in the mail with further details in addition to details being posted here upon the transition.

It is expected that HAKC will be completely transitioned to our official management company on June 1, 2022. 

If you have any questions about this transition, please reach out to the President or Treasurer.

The pool will officially open at 10 a.m. on Saturday, May 28, 2022 at 10 a.m.

If you have an active pool agreement from the 2021 pool season, it will still be valid for the 2022 pool season. Your pool card will be automatically active if you are current on all financial obligations. If you are new to the neighborhood, you must complete a new pool agreement before your card is activated. If you need a new pool card, a replacement fee will be assessed for a new one. Please reach out to the Pool Director if you need a new card.

A new board of directors was elected.
