Its HVNA Dues Time!

Once a year the HVNA asks all residents of Hope Valley to contribute to the operation of the Association.

Your annual dues help us maintain common areas, provide web services, pay for increased police patrols, provide funds for neighborhood social functions, and many other activities that enhance the neighborhood and build community.

Please join your neighbors in paying your 2015 dues this January.

There are a couple ways to pay:

You can pay by credit card through our website, here.

Or mail your check to HVNA, PO Box 51338, Durham 27717.

Base dues are $30 per year, but added amounts for landscaping, added police patrols, street signs, or other special projects are welcomed and encouraged.

The HVNA is a 501c3 Public Charity and your donations may be tax deductible, consult your tax preparation specialist.
