About Us

History and Purpose

The Del Monte Forest Property Owners (DMFPO) is a broadly representative voluntary association serving the mutual community interests of all property owners in the Forest.

DMFPO has been an active community leader since 1951 and works with both public and private sector agencies on issues that affect the quality of life in Del Monte Forest. DMFPO is a well-respected voice for the Del Monte Forest with County agencies, the Pebble Beach Community Services District (PBCSD), the Pebble Beach Company (PBC), and other Forest organizations.

DMFPO promotes balance among competing desires for the Forest which:

  • conserve the unique environment of the forest and shoreline

  • preserve the character of our residential neighborhoods

  • retain world-class status as a place to visit and live
  • We work closely with Pebble Beach Company and the Del Monte Forest Foundation for maintenance of our neighborhoods and for management of open space areas.

    We have seated representation on the

  • Architectural Review Board

  • (Pebble Beach Company)
  • Community Advisory Board

  • (Pebble Beach Company)
  • Open Space Advisory Committee

  • (Del Monte Forest Foundation)

    Our observers at the PBCSD and DMF Land Use Advisory Committee (County Planning Commission) keep us informed of activities in local government.

    Our own Land Use/Subdivision and Traffic and Safety Committee meetings receive input from outside organizations as a means of connecting with the interests of Forest property owners.

    We have been instrumental in satisfying resident desires for additional law enforcement services in the Forest through conduct of a professional survey and recommendations to the PBCSD Board for a meaningful response, resulting in the current enhanced law enforcement program now operating in the Forest.

    Our attention continues to focus on implementation of the 17 Mile Drive "Hwy 1" Hwy 68 interchange improvements to relieve commute hour traffic congestion. We also expect to remain involved in implementation details of the DMF Plan as it progresses for the next several years.

    Members have expressed interest in the multi-agency Gang Task Force and DMFPO is working to promote and host presentations on this compelling topic that is closer to home than most people realize.

    The organization routinely hosts immunization clinics at the PBCSD offices. Check the home page of the website for upcoming clinic dates and times.
