The (North) Ranchos de Placitas Property Owners Association, a nonprofit association incorporated under the laws of the State of New Mexico, was established in 1983 to oversee Units 4, 5, 6, and 7. The purpose of the RdPPOA is to give property owners a stronger collective voice in all matters which may be of mutual concern and interest.
