Santa Margarita Drive Private Road Maintenance
Welcome! This website was created to provide information about the maintenance and repair of the private portion of Santa Margarita Drive serving our community.
If your property—including vacant land—is accessed from Santa Margarita Drive north of 1355 Santa Margarita Drive, California law requires that you share in the responsibility for maintaining this private road. This shared responsibility applies to properties located on:
- Santa Margarita Drive
- Quail Creek Road
- River Oaks Lane
- Hilbert Drive
- Moon Rock Road
- Baja Margarita Lane
Here you’ll find information about the road, past and current maintenance efforts, property addresses and Assessor’s Parcel Numbers (APNs), a copy of the letter mailed to property owners, and resources explaining the options available for maintaining our private road.
Because this section of Santa Margarita Drive is a private road, it is not maintained by the County. The responsibility for repairs and ongoing maintenance rests with the property owners whose properties are served by this private road.
Recent repairs highlight the importance of maintaining our private road.
This pothole was repaired by the property owners because the County does not maintain this section of Santa Margarita Drive. Property owners will receive a letter explaining the maintenance process, how costs are allocated, and why contributions are required. The letter and additional resources are available throughout this website.
