Living in Sunriver, Sunriver Style Founded in 1968, Sunriver is a planned residential and resort community with oversight by the Sunriver Owners Association (SROA) – a not-for-profit homeowner association directed by a nine member board of directors with staff and departments that manage the association’s day-to-day operations. There are also several standing committees such as design, finance and covenants as well as task forces and work groups filled by volunteer owners. SROA’s staff provides functions and duties found in any smalltown government, including community development, recreational programming, the maintenance of roads and pathways as well as the operations of other community amenities for property owners, their guests and visitors. The Sunriver Fire and Police departments are separate entities and are part of the tax-based Sunriver Service District, a special service district within Deschutes County’s government. There are four types of development in Sunriver, all of which are members of the association and pay maintenance fees for the overall upkeep of the Sunriver community.
