Mariposa Neighborhood Association (MNA): A 501(c)3 non-profit Formed in 2019 by neighbors for neighbors.
Who or what is the Mariposa Neighborhood Association (MNA)?
Your Mariposa Neighborhood Association (MNA) is a 501(c)3 organization. We are a group of Mariposa residents working to benefit all homeowners of Mariposa. We are focused on maintaining the lifestyle, natural beauty and amenities that brought us to buy homes in Mariposa.
Another MNA focus is to prepare for the day when the Mariposa Community Association (MCA)/Homeowners Association (HOA) is handed over to the homeowners. Our intention has always been to have a non-adversarial relationship with the MCA/HOA. This has not always been possible as we continue to fight for the rights of the homeowners.
The MNA is recognized by the City of Rio Rancho, which gives us a voice within the city government. It also gives us certain rights like being notified whenever zoning changes are proposed to properties that connect to Mariposa.
Any homeowner, individual private lot owner, or rental resident residing within the boundaries of Mariposa shall be eligible for membership in the Mariposa Neighborhood Association. Membership/participation shall be strictly voluntary. (Per our bylaws, the MNA is bounded on the North by New Mexico State Trust Land; bounded on the East, Southeast, Sout and West by Rio Rancho Estates Unit 25 and bounded on the Northwest by the Mariposa Preserve.")
One of the key aspects of the MNA is the fact that we represent a large number of homeowners within Mariposa. Registering and belonging to the MNA is important. The more people we represent, the more clout we have with the city and state legislative bodies to make our voices heard.
The most import way you can support the MNA is by simply registering and giving us your contact information. There will never be a requirement to support the MNA in person or monetarily. The MNA does, however, rely on people volunteering their time and money to get things done so if you are able and willing to help, we would LOVE to have your support! Click the buttons on this page to join and/or donate to your MNA.
The MNA is a 501(c)3 organization so any financial support is tax deductible. Please consult your tax advisor.
