Hidden Valley Lake HOA: The Complete Guide (2026)
If you’re buying, selling, or already living in Hidden Valley Lake, the HOA isn’t a side detail — it’s a core part of what you’re paying for and what you’re agreeing to when you move behind the gate. Here’s the full picture, current for 2026.
What is the Hidden Valley Lake HOA?
The Hidden Valley Lake Association (HVLA) is the homeowners association that governs this gated community in Lake County, California. It’s responsible for 24/7 security at the gate, maintenance of the private lake, oversight of common areas, and enforcement of community rules and architectural standards.
This is a mandatory HOA — if you own property in Hidden Valley Lake, you are a member of HVLA and you pay dues. There’s no opting out.
How much are HVLA dues in 2026?
For the 2026 fiscal year, assessments are $3,885.60 per year ($323.80/month) for houses and $2,956.56 per year ($246.38/month) for vacant lots.
Dues are due in full on January 1, 2026. HVLA offers a monthly payment plan with payments due on the first of each month. Miss a payment, and you’ll be hit with a 10% late fee.
The HVLA Member Services office is cash-free: pay by check, money order, card by phone, or automatic ACH.
What does the HOA fee actually pay for?
- 24/7 gated security
- The private lake — maintenance and water quality
- Common areas — roads, green spaces, community facilities
- Administration — HVLA office and governance
Note: the golf course and Greenview Bar & Grill are open to the public but are funded by your HOA dues.
There’s also a full-service Equestrian Center with monthly boarding around $73/horse.
Is the HOA fee the only bill?
No. HVLA dues and your water/sewer bill are two separate charges from two separate bodies. Water and wastewater come from the Hidden Valley Lake Community Services District (HVLCSD). You’ll also have a trash bill, along with your propane and electricity bill.
