Next Door Rumsey Island

Rumsey Island is located in Joppa Town, MD.
The Rumsey Island Residents Association is a group of residents and property owners who advocate for and organize activities within Rumsey Island. We have elected leaders and voluntary ($40 annual) dues. We work together for changes and improvements such as neighborhood safety, beautification and social activities. We reinforce rules and regulations through education, peer pressure, volunteering to help each other, and by looking out for each other.
The Rumsey Island Residents Association is not a HOA. We are a completely voluntary "Neighborhood or Community Association" and as such does not need to meet specific requirements as with a stringent HOA. We do not have the legal authority to enforce rules and regulations that focus on restrictions and building and safety issues.

RIRA supports and is involved in local events and community issues such as the July 4th Parade and the Copley Parish Fall Festival just to name a few. RIRA has also been successful in working with Harford County to test water quality in our surrounding rivers.
Your $40 commitment to our community helps to fund landscaping projects, and community events around the Island. RIRA awards prizes for the Holiday Light Contest. We also host the annual Crab Feast & Holiday Party.
