Bull Domingo Ranch Property Owners Association, Inc.

What Bull Domingo Ranch Property Owners Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

Bull Domingo Ranch is a large rural subdivision in Westcliffe, Colorado, governed by a property owners' association (BDRPOA). These documents, including the Declaration of Protective Covenants, Bylaws, and several policies, form the rulebook for all property owners. Living here means owning land in a rugged, low-density area with an emphasis on hunting, livestock grazing, and preserving the natural environment.

• What you own & maintain: You own your parcel of land, with the right to build one primary residence of at least 800 square feet (exclusive of garage, porches, etc.). The association maintains common areas and non‑county roads, funded by annual dues.
• Homes & structures: Homes must be at least 800 square feet, no taller than 25 feet, and must have their exteriors finished within 15 months of starting construction. Metal shipping/cargo containers are not permitted as living spaces; as permanent accessory buildings they were banned after August 1, 2016 (some may be grandfathered). Double‑wide mobile homes may be approved if they meet specific standards (pitched roof, wood siding, permanent foundation).
• Hunting & guests: Property owners may hunt their own land and invite guests, but must register with the association before each season using the annual form. Guests must have written permission (including owner’s name, parcel numbers, and a phone number) if the owner is not present. Hunting from vehicles or roads is prohibited.
• Animals & livestock: Animals are allowed for personal use. Commercial feedlots, swine operations, and poultry operations are prohibited. Grazing is managed through a yearly lease with a local rancher; Colorado is an open‑range state, so it is the owner’s responsibility to fence cattle out.
• Temporary residences & camping: RVs, campers, tents, and trailers may be used for vacation camping for up to 90 days in any 12 consecutive months. Temporary structures are only allowed during active construction of a permanent home, for a period not to exceed six months (extensions possible).
• Parking & vehicles: Non‑operational or unlicensed vehicles must be stored in a fully enclosed building. Road hunting and shooting from a vehicle are not allowed.
• Dues & assessments: Annual dues are set each year after budget approval. Dues are due by November 1; late payments incur a $25 fee and 1% monthly interest. The association may file a lien for unpaid amounts. Special assessments cannot exceed the current annual dues in any fiscal year.
• What this document doesn't cover: The text does not address leasing or rentals, architectural review processes (beyond the basic home size and height), age restrictions, or any affordability or income limits. It is a large collection of declarations, bylaws, and policies, but may not represent the full current governing documents.
