Copper Cove Rocky Road Service District (RRCSD) is an independent district established in 1984 to maintain 16 miles of roadway. It serves 569 parcels. Parcels are assessed $350 per lot. It is not a part of the County or the Homeowner’s Association.
The District has made significant strides in recent years to modernize its operations and complete essential infrastructure work. By the end of 2025, the District reached a major milestone: completing all urgent and crucial road repairs, with no outstanding “dig outs”remaining.
