The Campo Conejos Homeowners’ Association (CCHA) is a nonprofit corporation established in 1998 for the purpose protecting the value and desireability of real property within the subdivision and for managing the common facilities and business of the community for the current and long-term benefit of all homeowners. All property owners in the subdivision are automatically members of the CCHA and are entitled to participate in the decision making.
In addition to the above, the CCHA is responsible for the enforcement of the Amended and Restated Declaration of Protective Covenants of the Campo Conejos Subdivision (Amended Declaration), recorded in the Santa Fe County Clerks office on March 21, 2007. The Campo Conejos subdivision is a covenant-controlled community, which means the Amended Declaration is a legally binding agreement between each homeowner and the Homeowners' Association. The Amended Declaration was developed for the express purpose of protecting the natural beauty and environment of the community, to provide an attractive rural setting for the residents, and to preserve property value. Problem avoidance and voluntary compliance are the goals of CCHA Board of Directors (Board). Copies of the Amended Declaration and the Bylaws may be obtained from the CCHA Secretary.
The management of the Association’s business and activities is handled by a 7 member Board of Directors (Board) who volunteer their time for the benefit of the community. The list of officers includes president, vice president, secretary and treasurer.
There is also a standing 5 person Architectural Control Committee (ACC) that performs vital tasks reviewing and approving applications for any type of developement for the purpose of ensureing that the Declaration of Protective Covenants is adheared to fairly by all members.
In addition we have a CARES Committee. CARES stands for Community, Awarenes, Responsibilty, Environment, and Security. The goal of the CARES Committee is to build a secure, informed neighborhood where residents are friends, share a sense of responsible ownership, watch out and help each other and cooperate in the betterment of the community. It also acts as the neighborhood watch group for the subdivision.
The Board may appoint additional committees. Please refer to the Bylaws for more detail concerning the Board’s duties and responsibilities.

All lots are required to use individual liquid waste advanced treatment systems as septic systems are not permitted within the subdivision. The majority of the homeowners use the Multiflo treatment system. These advanced treatment systems must be maintained periodically by the owner to work properly. JC Septic Tank (505-471-1831) maintains all the Multiflo systems.

MCT Waste, LLC (505-345-8651) and Waste Management, Inc. (505-473-0982) provides the solid waste disposal service for the subdivision. They both provide containers for trash. Waste Management provides containers for recycle products as well. MCT does not offer recycling but many members recycle themselves for free at either the City of Santa Fe Buckman Road Recycling and Transfer Station (sfswma.org) or the Santa Fe County Rancho Viejo Recycling Station (santafecountynm.gov/public_works/solidwaste).
The regular trash pick up day is Tuesday and the recycle day is Wednesday. The containers should be placed at roadside by 7:00 a.m. on the prescribed day, with the handle facing your lot. This allows the lid to open properly so that the trash will fall most efficiently into the disposal truck.
All recycle products including cans, plastic, paper and cardboard may be mixed in the recycle container, separation is not required. However, since we have had recurring problems with recycled items blowing out of the recycled container in strong winds, we ask that you bag or otherwise contain your recycled items as well. Do not include glass products or glass bottles.
Waste Management, Inc. is not obligated to pick up trash left beside the containers provided.
The Board has hired a contractor to maintain the common areas (pick up trash and remove dead trees), ditches, trails and roads.
The contractor cuts the grasses and weeds within the road right of way and along the walking paths throughout the year; however, during the wildflower season the cutting is suspended periodically.
The Association is responsible for maintaining the roads and drainages as well. The roads are crack sealed every couple of years and drainage problems are tended to as needed. Please use the eForm 'Road & Drainage Maintenance Request' to report problems within the Association's common areas, easements, and right-of-way.
Property owners are responsible for the removal of trash and dead trees from their property.
