2026 Association Member Dues are now due.

The board approved an increase for 2026 and the annual dues are now $165.00. Invoices were emailed to all members for whom an email address is on file and paper-mailed via USPS to all others for receipt by January 1, 2026.

Per the current Association Bylaws:

“Membership dues are due on the first day of January … and are payable on the 15th of January of each year. Any assessments which are not paid when due are delinquent. If an assessment is not paid within 30 days after the due date, the assessment shall bear interest from the date of delinquency.”

Therefore, beginning on February 15, 2026, interest at a rate of 1.5% per month will be assessed monthly until dues are paid. Members are responsible for any and all legal fees for recovery of unpaid dues.

Electronic invoices CAN be paid by credit card! If you have not paid your dues or need a duplicate invoice, please contact RBOA Bookkeeper Nicki Patten at rboabooks@rboa.net

Urgent Need for Board Volunteers

Our RBOA board can not operate without volunteers! We have vacant seats and several current board members are past-due to be relieved of their duties. Please let us know if you would be willing to serve. Terms are for 2 years. We meet once per month for a couple hours. After that, it may require a couple more hours each month to perform respective duties.

Please feel free to reach out to our current

President Joe Bradley: president@RBOA.net

Speed Limits & Safety

Please help us with safe driving on Ruckel Drive. The posted speed limit is based on a traffic study performed by the County Sheriff. Ruckel Drive has several turns and some hills, creating MANY BLIND DRIVEWAYS. Along with WALKERS, JOGGERS, BIKERS, the occasional SKATEBOARDS, Ruckel also has NO SIDEWALKS. All these conditions mean the MAXIMUM SAFE SPEED LIMIT IS 20 MPH.

We need the members of the RBOA and all in their households to help us create a culture of adhering to our 20 mph speed limit. We can help our visitors and workers who come into the neighborhoods to learn that we need them to also obey the posted speed limit.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.

What we do

The operation and activities of RBOA are led by a volunteer Board of Directors, responsible for managing the records and business functions of the Association, as well as maintaining members' compliance with the established covenants and bylaws. Our home sites are divided into "units," each of which has its own set of covenants. The covenants contain specific provisions and restrictions regarding your property.

Our goal is to provide RBOA members with the tools and resources to maintain a healthy, friendly, safe and beautiful neighborhood for our friends and families.

All RBOA homeowners are invited to attend the monthly board meetings. Monthly meetings are held the second Wednesday of each month at the Niceville City Hall complex, beginning at 6:30 p.m.

[March & November meetings to be held at RBCC Clubhouse.]
