Management transition
Kunia Loa Ridge Farmlands has moved management to Associa Hawaii. Here is what changed about billing and payments, and what you need to do.
Mail a check payable to “Kunia Loa Ridge Farmlands”, or send a bank bill-pay check to the same address.
Include your account number on every payment, and allow time for mailing and processing so it arrives before the 15th. Keep certified-check records and photograph receipts.
$50 applied after the 15th of each month. Fees were suspended for 90 days from May 2026.
Sign up for e-statements and paper copies stop.

Kunia Loa Ridge Farmlands has an unusual ownership structure: lots are owned by LLCs as primary owners, individual partition owners may hold varying percentage interests, and assessment amounts can differ between owners within the same lot.
Associa temporarily disabled online payments and direct debit after finding that partition owners could see one another’s banking information, and that one auto-payment pulled an entire lot’s fees. Automated systems cannot reliably calculate the right amount per owner, which risks overcharging or undercharging.
Associa intends to re-enable online and LLC-level automatic payments once the platform is customised to KLRF’s structure.
Statements now go only to the primary owner (the LLC). Partition owners no longer receive individual statements and should coordinate payment with their primary owner.
E-statements are available to a single LLC email. Associa has committed to issuing statements at least two weeks before the due date; the first May statement was late because the water-meter reading date shifted.
Associa will post monthly financials, approved board minutes, governing documents and policies to the Town Square platform. Proposals have been sought for a prior-year audit, with results shared with ownership.
May payments made to the old account are being reconciled, and unposted payments corrected on owner evidence. Association funds stay in KLRF’s own bank account under board-approved controls.
Associa Hawaii introduced themselves to the full membership and answered questions on payments, financial transparency and account management. The complete minutes cover late fees, statements, reconciliation, Town Square access, rentals, easements, reserves, management fees and the 2027 budget.
These changes were made to keep billing accurate, accountable and fair across all owners. Rentals, leases and insurance records remain a KLRF responsibility — two renters per acre, no subleasing — and ownership transfers must still be documented through the KLRF office.
