Annual Dues, only $25*!
Your dues help fund beautification efforts, community events, communications, and so much more. And just by living here, you’re already a member of the MPUM Neighborhood Association. Renter or owner, that means YOU!
Dues are not mandatory, but the Association functions solely on donations and any amount is appreciated. This is your neighborhood. Think of it as investing in the community you love (and the one that throws block parties, trims trees, plants flowers and keeps you in the loop).
Pay Dues by Check
To Pay by Check, make your check in the amount of $25* payable to “MPUM” and mail it to: MPUM at P.O. Box 821733, Dallas, TX 75382
Additional donations are accepted and appreciated. If you are combining dues and a donation in one check, please indicate the donation amount on the check, for accounting purposes.
*Dues and donations are not tax deductible. An additional $1 will be added to online payments to cover PayPal fees.
Who We Are

Our Mission
We are a community-driven association dedicated to bringing people together.

By focusing on safety, beautification, and active engagement, we aim to build a neighborhood where everyone feels connected, supported, and empowered. Through our various programs, events, and volunteer opportunities, we encourage participation from all members of the community to help us achieve these shared goals.
