The Willow Bend Metropolitan District (the District) is a quasi-municipal corporation and political subdivision of the State of Colorado. The District's boundaries wholly encompass the Willow Bend neighborhood and the District's board of directors are elected solely by Colorado registered voters living and/or owning property within the Willow Bend neighborhood. Beginning January 01, 2026, the District will begin performing all functions and services previously provided by the Willow Bend Homeowners Association. Such services include (1) maintaining the open spaces and stormwater detention pond within the neighborhood, (2) monitoring and enforcing the neighborhood's restrictive covenants and maintenance standards applicable to every lot and (3) providing architectural review services in accordance with the neighborhood's restrictive covenants and architectural guidelines. The District also collects property taxes to repay the debt that was incurred several years ago to subsidize the Developer's development of the land within the Willow Bend subdivision.
