Yellow Bluff Landing HOA

What Yellow Bluff Landing HOA's governing documents say

This is the full Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions and Easements for Tison's Landing, a planned community of single-family homes in Jacksonville, Florida. The document creates a homeowners' association (HOA) that all lot owners automatically join upon purchase and gives the HOA the power to collect assessments and enforce rules. It covers architectural control, maintenance obligations, stormwater management, and permitted uses of property.

• What you own & maintain: Owners own their individual lot and residence. The homeowner must keep the home and lot in good repair, including painting, roofing, windows, and landscaping, and promptly fix anything the Association requests. The HOA maintains common areas, and owners are billed for the cost if they damage common property.
• Assessments & fees: Each lot pays an annual assessment set each year by the HOA board. The HOA can also levy emergency assessments, special assessments (needing 2/3 member vote), and lot-specific assessments. Assessments become a lien on the property if unpaid; late fees of 5% (up to $25) and 18% annual interest apply. A one-time working capital contribution is required at each sale.
• Architectural review: Almost all exterior changes — buildings, fences, paint, landscaping, antennas, window coverings, signs, satellite dishes, playground equipment, and tree removal — must be approved in writing by the Architectural Control Committee (ACC) before starting. Interior changes that don't affect the exterior do not need approval.
• Stormwater & drainage: A stormwater management system (lakes, swales, pipes) serves the community. The local Community Development District (CDD) maintains it. Owners cannot build docks or bulkheads in the system, cannot alter drainage flow, and must comply with state and federal permits. The HOA, CDD, and Developer are not liable for water quality, algae, or pests in the stormwater features.
• Easements & utility access: The Developer, HOA, and CDD have broad easements across all lots (except inside residences) for utilities, drainage, and common-area maintenance. A blanket utility easement runs through each lot's walls and roof. Owners must connect to the central water and sewer system. The HOA may enter a lot to perform maintenance the owner failed to do, after 30 days' notice.
• Leasing & rentals: The document does not set any minimum lease term, restrict the number of rentals, or require owner approval to lease. (No rental restrictions were found in the excerpt.)
• Pets: The document does not address pet limits, types, or rules. (No pet restrictions were found in the excerpt.)
• What this document doesn't cover: This declaration does not include specific rules about pets, rental restrictions, parking, vehicles, fences, or age limits. Those topics may be addressed in separate HOA rules, bylaws, or later amendments not provided here.
