Why Join NEPCO

As a member of NEPCO, your voice is heard. With almost 30,000 member-residents in 9,000 homes, local and county agencies listen to our input. Instead of a single resident contacting El Paso County with a concern, the larger voice of NEPCO can raise issues with greater emphasis. Important information is given during every general meeting, providing insight into issues and an opportunity for Q&A not normally provided to the general public. Annual dues are extremely low for the benefits of membership and additional voices only increase NEPCO's impact on our greater community. Consider joining today!

NEPCO has three types of membership; Active, Associate and Honorary Associate Members, described below. Contact the President, NEPCO or Vice President, NEPCO for more information and to apply.

Active Members

Example: A 215 lot development would pay $20.00 + (215 x $.15) = $52.25 rounded up to $55. The member year runs from January to December. If the HOA is joins after January, dues will be prorated.
