We are a volunteer-led Neighborhood Association that helps keep MPUM vibrant, safe, and connected. We believe that a connected and active community is a stronger community. Our association is committed to preserving the unique character of the neighborhood while encouraging growth and improvement through collaboration and volunteerism.
All residents of MPUM are automatically part of the Neighborhood Association, renters and owners included! This is NOT an HOA as membership dues and donations are optional.
MPUMNA Annual dues & Donations
You are welcome to make an optional dues payment and additional donations to the MPUM Neighborhood Association.
The annual dues are $50 per household. There is also a new Premier Patron dues option of $150, which gets you special recognition in MPUM communications and additional freebies throughout the year. Senior households may pay a $25 Senior Rate if you choose (ages 65+, no proof or verification required).
Dues are a once-a-year voluntary payment. Additional donations are always welcome. The more we raise, the greater the impact (and the more fun stuff we can do)!
NEW! Pay us on Venmo @MPUMNA
TO PAY BY CHECK: Make your check payable to “MPUM” and mail it to P.O. Box 821733, Dallas, TX 75382.
