CVA is the oldest and largest residents association in Carmel Valley. Established in 1949 as the Carmel Valley Association, the organization quickly changed its name to the Carmel Valley Property Owners Association (CVPOA). In 2002, the general membership voted to revert back to our original name, partly in deference to our many members who rent their residence in Carmel Valley. Membership is open to anyone who lives or owns property in Carmel Valley. There are currently about 850 dues-paying members in CVA.

CVA seeks to protect the interests of residents of Carmel Valley. Overwhelmingly, our membership wants to preserve the rural character and open spaces that make Carmel Valley a special place to live. This sentiment is reflected in our mandate “to preserve, protect, and defend the natural beauty and resources of Carmel Valley and the County of Monterey.”

CVA is the only organization that speaks for the entire Carmel Valley. We represent our members at all meetings of the Board of Supervisors, Planning Commission, Carmel Valley Land Use Advisory Committee, and other local decision-making bodies. We are the major local organization to endorse the creation of the Town of Carmel Valley as the last and best means to preserve our rural character against the rapid over-development of our community by a county out of touch with the wishes of our residents.
