8. Where can I find the community rules and regulations?
Community rules, governing documents, and policies are available on each resident portal under the “Documents” section or upon request from our office. You may also request copies from our office (copy fees may apply depending on the Association).
9. What should I do if I see a violation of community rules?
You may report any violations by contacting our office via email or phone. Please include as much detail as possible so we may address the issue promptly; your identity will remain anonymous.
10. Who enforces each Association's rules and regulations?
Each community’s rules and regulations are enforced by our violations department, which conducts regular inspections to ensure compliance. When a violation is identified, it is documented and communicated to the homeowner or resident. If a violation is not corrected within the given timeframe, it may be referred to the Association’s Fining Committee, which is responsible for reviewing the case and determining if a fine should be assessed in accordance with the Association’s governing documents and Florida Statutes (if applicable). Please note: Enforcement procedures may vary slightly depending on the community’s specific rules and governing documents.
11. How are fines enforced?
Fines are enforced in accordance with each Association’s governing documents and applicable state laws. When a violation is not resolved within the specified correction period, it may be referred to the Association’s Fining Committee. The homeowner is notified and given the opportunity to attend a hearing before any fine is finalized.
If the Fining Committee upholds the fine:
- It is added to the homeowner’s account.
- Unpaid fines may result in suspension of common area privileges (i.e. pool access, gate remotes) as allowed by the governing documents.
- Continued non-compliance or non-payment may lead to further legal action, including liens or collections, depending on the severity and duration of the violation.
Our goal is to maintain the community’s standards through fair and consistent enforcement.
12. How do I request approval for modifications or improvements to my property?
You may submit an Architectural Review Board (ARB) form along with the required documents to our office. ARB forms are available on each resident portal. The request will be reviewed by the Association’s ARB or Board of Directors and you will be notified of the decision.
13. When can vendors/contractors work on my property?
Standard contractor hours are Monday to Friday 9:00AM- 5:00PM, weekend work varies by Association. Please refer to your Association’s rules and regulations.
14. How do I update my contact information?
You may update your contact information by completing a property owner’s information sheet via the Association’s resident portal or by contacting our office to obtain the form. It is of upmost importance that contact information is updated at all times to ensure you receive important communications. Homeowners are responsible for submitting changes in writing to our office in order for their account to be updated.

We encourage residents to try to resolve disputes amicably. If the issue is Association related, please contact the management office for assistance or further guidance.
