See More About Road Dues

HARC is the Hawaiian Acres subdivision association that manages the road dues paid to maintain the roads. Currently we barely generate enough funds to maintain the lettered roads and 1 road. Because Moho road is used as an emergency route, and public bus route, the county has fortunately paved and is responsible for maintaining that section of highly trafficked road through our subdivision. HARC is a separate entity from the community associate and operates with their own funds and board members. We are all part of the same community and we encourage you to pay your community dues as well.

*KEEP YOUR MEMBERSHIP STATUS UP TO DATE*  According to HARC Bylaws Article II Membership:
Section 1. every owner of a LOT in the subdivision of Hawaiian Acres shall be a member of the corporation. (1) membership per lot
Section 3. Dues. A member shall be considered to be a member in good standing and entitled to vote in person or by mail, at any meeting of the membership, only if that member has paid dues for the current year.  in the event that any member owns or has a legal or equitable interest in more than one lot, said member shall be entitled to as many votes as the Person owns Lots and for which the person has paid membership dues.
Road fees are $80.  It takes 10 people paying dues to purchase one full load (20 Tons, approximately) of gravel.
Less than 12.5% of lot owners paid the minimal road maintenance fees in 2018 and less than 14% of lot owners paid road fees in 2019. If you want to see our roads improved, its most important to encourage each other to pay their dues. We also accept donations at any time and will apply to the section of road you request.


If all lot owners paid the $80 road maintenance fees per lot, there would be money available to assist in graveling numbered roads.
HARC attempts to maintain about 23 miles of road with gravel. (Lettered Roads).  The remainder of the 75 miles of road are the numbered roads.
With the exception of Road 8 and about 1/2 of Road 1, Numbered Roads are the responsibility of volunteer community members.
Currently, your annual membership dues are only $80.00 UNDER $7/month. If you drive here, you can see this is clearly not enough to keep your roads maintained. It’s enough to see a load of rock, a few hours of machine work and a few nonpaid volunteers.
Our dues are now set to become MANDATORY .

The dues collected transparently go into the General fund and are divided with 70% ($56) going to the closest lettered road to your lot, 10% ($8) to Road 1, 10% ($8) Emergency Fund, and 10% ($8) going to administrative expenses. When a lot sells in Hawaiian Acres the $125 transfer fee is allocated $100 to closest letter road to your lot $25 admin for mailings (stamps are now $0.73 each). It’s not enough!!

At the continued request of community members and the majority vote of our subdivisions members to mandate road dues, our dues are now set to become mandatory. The HARC Board is evaluating the legal process of attaining a declaration from the court for transitioning from non-mandatory road membership dues to mandatory road membership dues. More information will be available as it is available. Please keep a lookout for our Fall 2025 mailer. Updates will be posted on the website www.harc4u.com
