RomeRock Association
The RomeRock Association is the Property Owner's Association of Roaming Shores.
What We Do
Dues and Assessments
As a not-for-profit, the RRA is funded by yearly Dues and Assessments. Dues are your standard membership fee and assessments are used to fund and maintain our many amenities.
Amenities
The RRA's amenities include Lake Roaming Rock, the Clubhouse, our beaches, pools, parks, sports courts and improved recreational areas.​ A membership card is required.
Maintenance
Our own in-house maintenance staff is in charge of maintaining all amenities in Roaming Shores, including road maintenance ​of all Association-owned roadways.
Watercraft Access
Only member-owned watercraft are permitted to access the lake from our boat ramp. All watercraft are required to be registered with the State; all powered watercraft must apply for access decals with the RRA.
Lake Management
Our Lake Management Committee and contracted scientific partners work year-round to improve water quality through education, treatment programs, and monitoring programs.
Club Activities
Our many social clubs work for the benefit of our association and organize several events throughout the year for all ages.

more faqs
Who owns the Association?
As a property owner, you do. All lots are deeded to the owners, no different than any other property you may own. Certain deed covenants and restrictions ensure the privacy and your continuing enjoyment of the area.
The common areas, parks, pools, roads and lake are owned by the property owner’s association—which again is owned by you, the members. The association is governed by a Board of Directors elected by the membership.
How do I become a member?
When you purchase property in the Association (with or without a house) you automatically became a member of the RRA. Upon payment of all fees and the filing of required membership documents, you are then able to enjoy all RRA facilities.
Bylaws Article I, Section 1B
Can I use the facilities/amenities without being a member?
All property in Roaming Shores is either privately owned by members or the RomeRock Association. You must be accompanied by a member-in-good-standing if you are not on the member's property.
Do I have to become a member?
If you purchased property within the Roaming Rock Shores subdivision, yes.
