Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions Monterey Heights homeowners ask most.

How much are annual dues, and how do I pay?

Dues are $27 per household per year. Send a check to the address on the contact page, or pay online once the board switches on card payments or via Zelle to [email protected] — please include your street address so your payment is credited correctly. You can also prepay future years.

What do my dues pay for?

Essential services and community activities: the Annual Meeting & BBQ, holiday events, and neighborhood gatherings throughout the year. Dues keep Monterey Heights vibrant, well-kept, and connected.

When does the board meet? Can I attend?

The MHHA board meets on the second Monday of every month, and residents are always welcome. Email [email protected] to get the location or to add an item to the agenda.

How do I join the neighborhood email list?

About 70% of households are already on the list — it's the best way to hear about events and neighborhood news. Use the Contact page to sign up.

Who do I call about safety concerns?

For emergencies, always call 911. City services: 311. SFPD non-emergency: 415-553-0123. Monterey Heights is served by Taraval Police Station (415-759-3100; anonymous tip line 415-242-9753). The full contact sheet is on the Documents page.

I saw a coyote — what should I do?

Coyotes live around Mount Davidson. Keep dogs on a leash, stay calm, and walk away from any sighting — don't run. Be extra cautious in spring, when coyotes protect their dens during pupping season.

How do I suggest or help organize an event?

We'd love that — recent resident-led events include the pasta cooking class and the kitchen tour. Email [email protected] or catch a board member at any gathering.

Can I advertise my business on this site?

No — this site is for neighborhood news and community life, not for solicitations or advertisements. (Local-favorite features in the annual newsletter are editorial, chosen by the newsletter team.)
