WELCOME TO RANCH ESTATES
Roads are maintained by Ranch Estates Roads & Fire Association (RERFA).
Ranch Estates Road and Fire Association is a volunteer based organization solely focused on addressing the road maintenance and fire mitigation education. The community is located in Teller County, which is outside the Woodland Park city limits, therefore the county does not provide funding or maintain the roads located in Ranch Estates.
RERFA is governed by Bylaws approved by its membership and executed by the Board of Directors composed of the elected officers. The road maintenance is maintained by volunteers who receive no compensation either monetary or otherwise.

History
Ranch Estates Road & Fire Association was formed in 1998 by a group of neighbors who came together to address some ongoing, common concerns regarding road maintenance. Ranch Estates (RE) was originally designed and built as a campground community, thus the reason for the small lots and narrow roads. RE roads were not built to support a year-round residential community and therefore cannot be brought up to the Teller County standards, so Teller County will not maintain the roads within the subdivision and its surrounding properties. The association, RERFA was formulated to provide road maintenance year around and creating a platform for community services. The mission is to provide the highest quality community and association services for snow plowing, road maintenance, and the promotion of fire safety, within funding limitations to Ranch Estates neighbors. Funding for the association is provided by the membership dues of participating Ranch Estates property owners.
RERFA activities contribute to everyone having safe access to Ranch Estate properties most importantly providing safe accessible roads for emergency services and all utility vehicles servicing the community needs.
