FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do I check the payment status of my dues/Pay Powerstone dues online?
- Create a Powerstone Profile:
To make online payments, you must first create a Powerstone profile. Once your profile is set up, you can proceed with payments. Please note, Powerstone charges a fee for credit card transactions. Powerstone doesn’t allow for anyone but the actual property owners the ability to create the online profile. - Pay by Check:
You may also choose to pay by check made out to CHPOA and mail it to:

What is meant by ‘highest finished grade?’
The highest finished grade in our community is defined as 6 inches below the original foundation of the first home built on an owner’s lot. Note: Two-story structures are allowed only by exception as outlined and referenced in the CC&Rs. The 16′ height restriction for new builds and remodels is strictly enforced.
I’m selling my property. As a CHPOA community member, do I have an obligation to inform Powerstone, or the BOD?
The Board participates in property sales to maintain the accuracy of our owner database. Property owners should direct their agents to contact a Board Member to initiate the escrow participation process.
My neighbor refuses to trim their trees and maintain their landscaping. What can the BOD do to help?
If improperly maintained landscaping is obstructing your ocean view, please reach out to any Board Member for assistance. The Board does not actively monitor for violations but will take enforcement action when a complaint is received and verified. If necessary, notices of non-compliance will be sent to the property owner. Any legal enforcement follow-up required related to this issue is the responsibility of the individual property owner.
How do I get a fob to access the Shorecliffs beach?
To obtain access to the beach via a Shorecliffs magnetic fob, member dues must be current. Shorecliffs reserves the right to deactivate fob access for reasons such as property damage or inappropriate conduct. Each member household is limited to one prepaid fob. If lost or stolen, you must report it to Powerstone, and a replacement fee will apply. When current dues are verified and contact information is updated, you will be able to contact Karen Behringer (klbehringer@gmail.com) to make arrangements to pick up your fob.
All property managers and management companies must have written permission from the property owner to act on their behalf for any requests related to Powerstone or the Board of Directors.
When is the next billing cycle for dues?
Powerstone will initiate the 2026 billing roll out some time in March of 2026. You will receive a notice/invoice from Powerstone in the US mail with instructions on how to make your payment. Powerstone will send out one reminder about 2 weeks later. Payments are expected to be complete on April 1st of each calendar year, and will be considered late if not received by May 1st. Be mindful that beach privileges are tied to member dues and that Powerstone will deactivate your fob if payment is not received on time.
