About the Ownership of the Skypark:

Unlike many residential airport developments where the airport itself is owned either by a government entity or a private corporation or  individual, the Rosamond Skypark's airport is owned outright by the residents through their Homeowners Association. 

We feel this is a major "plus" factor for us, as we need not worry that if "good old Joe the airport owner" finally dies his heirs might announce they intend to sell off the airport to a condo developer.  Similarly, having private property rights means we are at least somewhat insulated from the whims of local or regional elected bodies.

The Skypark is a "Common Interest Subdivision", comprised of 60 privately-owned residential lots and three commercial lots (an FBO lot, a restaurant and a currently undeveloped commercially-zoned lot).

Ownership of a lot  brings membership in a homeowner's association, the Rosamond Skypark Association, through which each lot has a 1/63rd undivided interest in the "common area", which is the airport proper (the runway and taxiway environment).

The Association, through our elected five-member Board of Directors, has always administered the operation of the airport entirely by itself rather than using a paid management company.  All costs related to operation & upkeep of the airport are covered by HOA dues assessed; as a privately owned airport we are not eligible for government financing or aid.  Our do-it-yourself philosophy has been a major factor  in allowing us to keep owner costs under control - currently (2024) HOA dues are $90 per month for residential owners.

As a Common Interest Subdivision, or "Planned Unit Development", the Skypark lots, both residential and commercial, are covered by CC&Rs, which provide the legal framework allowing the Association to both operate the airport and exercise a certain level of control over the use of the individual lot properties. We MOST STRONGLY suggest you familiarize yourself with the implications of this, and a good place to start is by downloading and reading THIS FILE from the Department of Real Estate.
