Pets
Owner pets must be properly registered with the association. 
​Pets belonging to a tenant or guest are not allowed within the gated community. ​Visiting pets are not allowed on the premises. A veterinarian pet certificate and registration with photograph must be on file with the
association.

Proper Restraint
Unit owner’s pets must be adequately secured and restrained by a short leash at all times on the condominium property or association property. Unit owners’ pets must be walked along the roadways at all times and may not be walked around the building lawns for any reason. 
​
Please Clean Up
Not cleaning up after your pet is not only selfish and inconsiderate, it's against Florida law. In some areas of our complex, you may see signs posted requiring dog owners to pick up after their pets. This applies to ALL areas not just where it is posted. Waste deposited by pets on the condominium property or association property shall be removed immediately, securely bagged and properly disposed of by the person attending the pet.

Be Respectful
Unit owner pets shall not be allowed to create a nuisance or annoyance for any resident while on condominium property or association property or within a unit or screened lanai. Unit owner pets shall be kept within the unit and not permitted on screened lanais or condominium property or association property unattended at any time for any reason whatsoever. 

Be Responsible

​The unit owner shall assume full responsibility for personal injuries and common area property damage caused by his/her pet. Furthermore, each unit owner hereby agrees to indemnify the association and all other unit owners and hold them harmless against any loss, claim or damage caused by same. Violations of the provisions of this rule shall entitle the association to all of its rights and remedies including, but not limited to, the right to fine the owner of the pet and/or require the pet to be permanently removed from ​the condominium upon three days written notice to the owner of the pet.

Trash & Recycling
