Rehoboth Beach Homeowners' Association
-- 50 Years of Service --

Welcome

The Rehoboth Beach Homeowners' Association is a Delaware non-profit organization operated to promote the common good and general welfare of the homeowners and residents of the City of Rehoboth Beach for their mutual enjoyment and benefit, to preserve the quality of life, to foster the spirit of community and to provide a forum for the full and free discussion of all matters of interest.

Safety

The RBHA has created a brochure promoting safety for pedestrians, cyclists, skateboarders, joggers, etc. specifically geared toward the City of Rehoboth Beach and its particular issues and regulations. The RBPD and the Delaware State Department of Highway Safety have both contributed to the effort and have given the safety brochure a "thumbs up".  Keep up with our efforts on a new safety webpage here...

Residential Waste Information

The City's trash and recycling pick up schedules can be found at 2022 Residential Refuse & Yard Waste Pickup Calendar and the 2022 Residential Recycling Pickup Calendar (Hint: they are easier to read if printed "landscape"). View them by smartphone under the Calendar tab >> Trash & Recycling

Share your photos...

We want to share your favorite photos of Rehoboth Beach with everyone. Beaches, wildlife, cityscapes, the boardwalk, waves, sunrise...images that show people the sights of Rehoboth Beach. We can't show photos of identifiable people (we don't have their permission) so don't send us pics of Aunt Martha with face full of fries. If we use your photo, we will give you credit unless you prefer to remain anonymous. Photos more than 2Mb are best, but we can use smaller ones too!
