Private Driveway Plowing Instructions
Road Care
The posted speed limit for Nine Mile Ranch is 20 mph. Speeds over this level contribute to excess wear and tear on the roads which leads to increased costs of maintenance with YOUR money/dues. Please protect our communal investments and keep your speed 20 mph or lower on all ranch roads. Thank you.
Letter Boxes
The USPS mail delivery person requests this area be kept free of snow and that the mail boxes are in alignment to prevent the driver hitting an out of line box. Owners appreciate letter boxes in keeping with the environment – black boxes and stands – all to present a good first impression of 9MR. Same applies to the FED-UP Box opposite Horse Trail Drive. This box was kindly donated by an owner long since gone – otherwise recipients of packages would have to go to town to receive packages during times with snow on the road. Please help keep the area neatly maintained.
The Green Gates
Were previously closed during hunting season but in recent years and more people coming to live at 9MR, this has ceased. It is worth the effort to keep trespassers out - off our private roads.

Cattle & Fences for 9MR Community Website
Cattle Issues:
Local ranchers graze cattle on land that butts up to some Nine Mile Ranch Lots. For various reasons, sometimes cattle will migrate onto Nine Mile Ranch Lots. This situation is a private property issue, not a Nine Mile Ranch HOA issue.
Miscellaneous Items:
- Padlocks have been installed by some Lot Owners on gates in the boundary fence
- Gates must be left unlocked to allow the rancher to return stray cattle
- Fences and Gates are the property of the US Forest Service (except for some portions of Division 8) and should not be altered
- Gates must be left closed
