This page will be used to maintain some important names, numbers, and information. Information you can use to help keep our community safe and secure. Some numbers are intended for residents of Tollgate Crossing, while others are intended for residents of the greater South East Aurora community.
Metro District or HOA?
A metropolitan district is a quasi-municipal governmental entity organized under Title 32 of the Colorado Revised Statutes. Essentially, this is a way for communities or developers to establish a local government for the mutual benefit of the property owners and residents for the purpose of financing, constructing, operating and maintaining various public improvements, such as streets, parks, and water and sewer improvements, among others.
This differs from a homeowner’s association which is a private entity established to provide a system of local control so that each individual property is maintained to a standard that helps the community as a whole retain its character, charm, and property values. Tollgate Crossing HOA also provides community trash service.
