Important rules

Check title for restrictive covenants (fencing, landscaping)
Research requiredIndividual titles in Calgary communities can carry restrictive covenants that govern items such as fencing and landscaping. This dataset does not assert that every Discovery Ridge property carries such a covenant — review the specific title and any registered instruments before removing conditions.

New Discovery Homeowners' Association (NDHA)
Fee status: mandatory. Title-linked: yes.
Community association
Discovery Ridge Community Association (DRCA)
Confirm this organization’s own membership, fees and services in the source-linked explanation below.
NDHA and DRCA are separate organizations. NDHA is the homeowners' association responsible for maintaining selected manicured landscape assets, funded by a mandatory fee secured on title. DRCA is the community association handling community advocacy and events; community association membership in Calgary is generally voluntary and separate from a title-linked HOA fee.
Common misconception
Limits of the association’s role
- Griffith Woods Park, its pathways and its parking lot — City of Calgary maintained
- Recreation facilities and community events (handled by the Discovery Ridge Community Association)
- Condominium association lands
- Commercial lands
- The Pointe at Discovery Ridge
- Natural (non-manicured) spaces, which are generally City-managed
What to verify
Buyer and seller checklists
Buyer checklist
- 01Order a current Certificate of Title and read every registered instrument, including any encumbrance or restrictive covenant.
- 02Ask the seller for the most recent NDHA invoice and proof of payment.
- 03Confirm with NDHA whether the specific address is subject to the encumbrance and whether any balance is outstanding.
- 04Confirm whether the property sits within a condominium corporation, on commercial land or in The Pointe at Discovery Ridge, which are outside NDHA's operational area.
- 05Understand that NDHA is not the Discovery Ridge Community Association — community association membership is separate.
- 06Check whether Griffith Woods Park and natural areas relevant to you are City-maintained rather than NDHA-maintained.
Seller checklist
- 01Request a written statement of account from NDHA before conditions are removed.
- 02Clear any outstanding annual fee balance so the encumbrance does not delay closing.
- 03Provide your lawyer with the NDHA fee documentation and any correspondence.
- 04Disclose the annual fee and its title-linked nature in the listing information.
