Membership

GVR membership requires a deed restriction in perpetuity on a property within the established boundaries of Green Valley Recreation. Because the membership is a deed restriction in perpetuity on the property, cancellation of membership is not an option. GVR Membership passes from owner to owner when a property sells. Membership is not age restricted.

How to Become a Member

  • Purchase a GVR deed restricted home, OR
  • Purchase a home within GVR established boundaries that is not GVR deed restricted. Once the home has closed and recorded contact Membership at (520) 625-3440. You will then meet with a Membership Specialist to sign an agreement to deed restrict the property, pay the Initial Fee, Transfer Fee, and pro-rated dues and obtain your GVR Membership Card.
  • If you are not sure the property is within GVR established boundaries, please call the Membership Department at (520) 625-3440.
  • Once your home has closed and recorded, please visit one of our Membership Specialists located in the Administrative Offices to obtain your GVR Member ID Card.
If you have any questions, please contact the Membership department at membership@gvrec.org or call (520) 625-3440.

Membership Change Fee

Upon the transfer of title to any existing GVR membership property, the new owner(s) of such property shall pay a Membership Change Fee and a Transfer Fee in an amount to be determined by the Board of Directors. The Membership Change Fee is charged to assist in the deferred maintenance and upkeep of GVR’s facilities.
The fee will be refunded by member request when a member sells one primary GVR residence and moves to another primary residence within 365 days and if the following apply:
  • The member has owned and occupied the GVR property being sold for at least one year.
  • A tenant card has not been issued on the property within twelve months immediately before the sale of the owner-occupied property.
  • The member submits a refund request for the membership change fee. GVR will review the property transaction details to confirm ownership and eligibility for both properties. Refunds will be processed upon verification.
