SaddleBrooke Two HOA news, June 2025: $1,800 dues bill, paving done
Blaine Bond’s digest of HOA Two’s June 2025 newsletter: what the board and staff decided, in plain words, with the source linked at the end. Not the association’s own text.
The short version
What changed in June 2025
- The second 2025 dues billing of $1,800 went out June 1; it is due July 15 and a late payment after July 31 costs $2,007 with fees.
- Golf ran without any subsidy through the first four months of 2025, and golf, the theatre and the restaurants were all profitable.
- Through April the HOA earned $218,736 net income against a budgeted loss of $558,275.
- The MountainView parking lot and Clubhouse Drive repaving are finished, and the renovated MountainView pool is back on its normal schedule.
- The 2026 budget process has started, with the COO cautioning against deferring maintenance to hold dues flat.
- SPAC reports SaddleBrooke’s aquifer is one of four areas of concern in the Tucson water-management area, and owners re-certified the community’s 55+ status.
What it means for buyers
Budget for roughly $1,800 twice a year in HOA dues (confirm the current schedule) and note the HOA’s late-fee math is strict. Amenities are paying their own way and the big 2025 projects are done, but the aquifer note is early context for the water-rate case that followed.

The details, item by item
| 2025 dues (POA) billing | Second billing of the 2025 Property Owner Assessment mailed/emailed June 1: $1,800; due July 15, delinquent July 31; late = 10 % fee ($180) + 1.5 % finance charge ($27) → $2,007. Bank bill-pay can take 2 weeks. |
|---|---|
| 2026 budget process | COO: 2026 budget development is beginning; “broad agreement” on keeping assessments manageable, but he warns deferring maintenance saves short-term and costs more later. Community = “more than 3,200 households”. |
| Golf: no subsidy through April | Golf ran with no subsidy for the first 4 months of 2025. MV aerification from the Tuesday after Memorial Day, reopening Sat June 14; Preserve aerification June 23 – July 11. Annual Members get the Troon Advantage Program (discounts at other Troon courses). Folds of Honor (8th year) has raised $250,000 to date. |
| Paving done | New MV parking lot and Clubhouse Drive repaved (Roadrunner Paving); board calls the old lot a tripping hazard now fixed. |
| MV pool renovation complete | MV pool renovations finished and well received; all three pools back on the normal schedule. |
| Amenity profits | Golf, Theatre and Food & Beverage all profitable through April; F&B cost of goods down to 30 % at MountainView and 38 % at The Preserve. |
