Welcome to the Inverness Ridge Information Website. Here you will find information about the Inverness Ridge Association (IRA) and the Paradise Ranch Estates Road Advisory Board (PRERAB) as well as important information on emergency preparedness and what to do in case of an emergency.

The Inverness Ridge Association (IRA) and the Paradise Ranch Estates Road Advisory Board (PRERAB)

IRA is a neighborhood association for the homeowners and residents of the Paradise Ranch Estates subdivision accessed by way of Drakes View Drive. IRA serves as both a service and a social organization. As a service organization, IRA, either directly or through liaison with federal and local government entities, engages in matters directly affecting the safety and well-being of PRE residents.

Paradise Ranch Estates Road Advisory Board (PRERAB) was originally established by Marin County. It is a volunteer group of PRE residents and owners. PRERAB works with the Marin County Department of Public Works recommending work necessary to repair and maintain the roads in PRE and the vegetation along them.

Join your neighbors at the home of Barbara Jay, 100 Douglas, starting at 10 a.m. This is a potluck. The Inverness Ridge Association Board will provide plates, cups, eating utensils, coffee, water, and juice. Bring your favorite main dish, side dish, or dessert, and wine or beer if you would like to consume these.

Board members will be stationed to help with parking and carpooling is encouraged.
