| Topic | What the documents say |
|---|---|
| Renting | Renting is allowed. Leases must be for at least 30 days, for the whole home, and in writing. No renting single rooms, no bed and breakfast, and no transient tenants. The owner gives the Association a copy of every lease, but the Association does not approve tenants. There is no cap on how many homes can be rented, no limit on leases per year, and no waiting period before a new owner can rent. Tenants must follow the community rules, and the owner must evict a tenant who will not. While the home is rented, the owner gives up use of the common areas. If the Association is owed money, it can collect rent directly from the tenant. Rental rules that conflict with FHA, VA or USDA loan requirements do not apply while such a loan is on the home. |
| Pets | Normal household pets are allowed as County rules permit. There is no stated limit on number. No livestock, poultry or pigs, no breeding or keeping animals for business, and no dogs legally classed as dangerous. Pets must be leashed outside unless in a fenced part of the yard. No tying pets out, no leaving them alone in the yard or on a porch, and no dog runs or kennels. Pick up after your pet. If the Board decides a pet is a nuisance and asks for its removal, it must go within 48 hours. Service and support animal laws still apply. |
| Vehicles and parking | Park in your garage or driveway only, and do not block the sidewalk. No parking on the community streets except in any spots the Board designates. Personal cars and pickup trucks are fine in the driveway as long as they are not commercial motor vehicles under Florida law. Boats, trailers of any kind, RVs, campers, ATVs, limousines and commercial motor vehicles must be kept inside the garage, subject to Florida law. Work vans and trucks may only be here during a delivery or service call. A car that will not run cannot sit outside the garage more than 12 hours. No repairs outside the garage except emergencies, no cars on blocks, and no car covers in public view. Violators can be towed after a 24-hour notice. Golf carts may be driven on the community streets where state and local law allow, on paved surfaces only, and the Association can restrict them. ATVs, scooters and mini motorcycles are not allowed on common sidewalks or streets. |
| Fences | Every fence needs written approval from the Architectural Control Committee (ACC) first and must meet the Community Standards. Chain link is not allowed. Fences must sit off the ground so they do not block drainage. Fences in drainage easements are not expected to be approved. If a fence is allowed in a drainage or utility easement, the owner pays to remove and replace it when the easement needs work. Nothing, including fences, may go within 2 feet of a retaining wall. Only one fence is allowed on a shared lot line, and neighbors split the cost of repairs to a shared fence. |
| Pools and screen enclosures | No above-ground pools. In-ground pools, spas and hot tubs need ACC approval first, unless the builder installed them. The top of the pool can be no more than 2 feet above natural grade unless approved. Pool cages must be an approved design and color, no taller than 12 feet unless approved, never taller than the roof line, and not wider than the sides of the house without approval. Diving boards and slides need approval. Pools must be kept clean and treated. Never drain pool water onto neighbors' yards, the street or the ponds. Screen enclosures, patio enclosures, decks and lanais all need ACC approval. |
| Exterior changes | Any visible exterior change needs written ACC approval first. That includes additions, repainting, new landscaping, removing or planting trees and shrubs, landscape lighting, artificial turf, driveway coatings, decorative objects, play equipment, flagpoles beyond the one allowed, satellite dishes, solar panels, outside security cameras and awnings. Video doorbells do not need approval. The ACC may charge an application fee and has 30 days after a complete application to decide. If it does not answer in time, the request is treated as denied, not approved. Denials can be reheard and then appealed to the Board. Sheds and other outbuildings are not allowed without ACC approval. Tree houses and skateboard ramps are not allowed. Basketball goals and play sets need approval and go in the back yard. Do not remove trees the builder planted unless they are a hazard, and replace any that die. No garage conversions, and garage doors stay closed when not in use. Window coverings must go up within 30 days of closing. No window or wall air conditioners and no security bars on windows. The Declarant is in control of the ACC until the last home is sold. |
| Hurricane shutters | Permanent shutter hardware must be a type the ACC approves. Approved panel, accordion or roll-down shutters may be closed starting 48 hours before a named storm and must be opened within 72 hours after the watch or warning ends. They may not stay closed during hurricane season. Temporary storm coverings may go up 72 hours before a storm and must come down within 72 hours after it. Yard furniture and decorations must be brought inside when a tropical storm warning or higher is issued. |
| Signs and flags | No signs visible from outside the home except as the Declaration, Rules or Community Standards allow. You may fly up to two portable flags: the U.S. flag, the Florida flag, a U.S. military branch flag, a POW-MIA flag or a first responder flag, each no bigger than 4.5 by 6 feet. You may also put up one freestanding flagpole up to 20 feet tall, at least 10 feet from the curb and from any lot line. A small security company sign (6 by 6 inches) near an entrance and small medical-alert stickers are allowed. Picketing and negative signs are strictly prohibited. The Declaration does not list a for-sale sign allowance. |
| Trash | Keep trash and recycling cans out of sight from the street and from neighbors. Cans may go out no earlier than 24 hours before pickup and must come back in within 24 hours after. No burning trash. Follow the Association's trash and recycling procedures. |
| Home businesses | A home office for your own use is allowed, but clients and customers may not come to the home unless the Board's rules allow it. No door-to-door selling. No day care, assisted living or nursing home. Garage sales only with Board permission. |
| Other restrictions | Owners keep up their own yard and the strip between the lot and the street, including grass no taller than 5 inches, yearly mulch, irrigation, trees and the driveway. Owners also handle their own roof, exterior paint, stucco or siding cracks, caulking and pressure washing. The Association can do neglected work and bill the owner the cost plus $250. Mailboxes are shared cluster boxes, and individual mailboxes and lampposts are not allowed. No swimming, wading, fishing or boating in the ponds, and no docks. Drones only for inspecting your own home unless the Board allows more. Holiday lights may go up the week before Thanksgiving and come down by January 15. Owners must carry enough insurance to rebuild and must start repairs within 30 days of getting insurance money after a loss. If the Association sets up a social media page, owners may not use it to air complaints about the community, the builder or the Association. Fines can be $100 per violation, per day, with no total cap. |
