The POA recently mailed golf cart registration renewals to Canyon Lake residents. All golf carts must display valid 2021-2022 decals by June 1. There is no fee associated with the renewal; however, only members in good standing will be extended golf cart privileges.
Residents registering a golf cart must sign a Cart Operation, Registration, Indemnification and Release Agreement indemnifying the CLPOA from any liability associated with or arising out of the use of their cart and provide a valid Certificate of Liability coverage which identifies the registering member as the policyholder.
Residents who did not receive a registration renewal notice in the mail should visit Member Services or call 951-244-6841, ext. 310.
