KING FARM HOLIDAY CELEBRATION WITH SANTA
Come one, come all and get yourselves in the holiday spirit of giving by joining your friends and neighbors for a fun-filled morning of toy collecting next Saturday, December 14, 2024 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the Saddle Ridge Community Center at 300 Saddle Ridge Circle.
This family friendly party will include the jolly big man himself making his annual appearance to meet with King Farm children and pose for photos. So be sure to have your children bring their holiday wish lists, as Santa can’t wait to check his list to see if you’ve been naughty or nice. A professional photographer will be taking photos and a link will be supplied to those families who choose to download the photos free of charge. We ask all who register to bring a new, unwrapped toy for our toy donation drive.
SPACE IS LIMITED, and YOU MUST pre-register by CLICKING HERE. This event is open to King Farm residents only, no outside non-resident guests. Your registration will be checked at the door, if you do not have a reservation, you will not be able to participate. Once all spaces have filled, registration will automatically close.
Let’s get into the ho-ho holiday spirit and break a King Farm record for toy donations and help local children in need have a joyous holiday season with your generous toy donations.
KING FARM TOY DONATION DRIVE UNDERWAY
The holidays are a time for giving as well as spreading all things merry and bright. This season you can help play a small part in helping to make the holidays a little brighter for the less fortunate children in our area. The King Farm Citizens Assembly annual Holiday Toy Donation Drive is now underway.
We encourage all residents to donate a new, unwrapped toy to our holiday toy drive at the Saddle Ridge Community Center from now until Friday, December 13, 2024. The Saddle Ridge Community Center is open Monday through Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Friday’s from 8:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
This is your chance to do something special this season for children in our local Rockville community. We thank you in advance for your generous donations and giving spirit.
KFCA MONTHLY ASSESSMENT PAYMENT OPTION CHANGES
KFCA Monthly Assessment Payment Changes
By now, you should be aware that Comsource (the financial management company) is upgrading their technology platforms. The transition to the new platform hasn’t gone as expected. Some residents have been able to set up accounts while others have experienced difficulties logging in and setting up accounts. They continue to work on the issues, but you will likely receive an email from TownSq to setup an account. This is legitimate.
Please include all of the following as safe domains.
townsq.io
kingfarm.org
associa.us
frontsteps.com
We apologize for the inconvenience but appreciate your patience and understanding while this migration takes place.
This only applies to Single Family Home and Townhouse Homeowners
New Account Number
You should have received your new account number. If you haven’t, please let us know. If you sent a payment with the old number, do not worry, the payment will be processed. However, please use the new account number for your November assessment to avoid future issues. Whether you pay via physical check or bill pay, YOU MUST USE THE new account number and PO Box Address (listed below).
New Account Portal and Website
PayLease is no longer available. The new solution is called TownSq. You will receive login information and access to TownSq email from noreply@townsq.io this week. Once you have logged in, you will be able to pay online using this platform. You are NOT required to pay through TownSq.

RockView Program
If you have a ring camera (or other front door/doorbell camera), you can register it with the RCPD. The RockView program allows residents and business owners to voluntary register their privately owned video security camera systems with the RCPD. Registration in the RockView program does not enable law enforcement to view camera footage without an owner’s permission. However, the RockView program will allow city police to quickly identify security cameras that may have captured criminal activity when a crime is reported nearby. For more information about the RockView program, click here.
If you have a crime or concern to report, please contact the Rockville City Police Department at:
Non-Emergency: 240-314-8900
Emergency: 9-1-1
