Three steps to unlocking resident benefits

Share this simple journey with your tenants — it costs them nothing, and gives them a lot.

01

Find out if you're eligible

Residents of CA-assessed properties — including apartment buildings in Columbia — automatically qualify for CA resident benefits. Most renters don't realize this. If they live here, they're in.

02

Get your free Columbia Card

Residents register for their Columbia Card online or through CA Customer Care. They'll need a Columbia address and a simple proof of residency (lease or utility bill). It's free — always.

03

Enjoy resident-rate perks

With a Columbia Card, residents unlock deeply discounted membership rates, free pool day passes, 2nd Sunday Swim access, and resident pricing across all CA programs and facilities.

A community built for living well

CA resident benefits are an amenity your building is already delivering. Help your tenants discover what's available to them.
