The community is part of the larger Brunswick Plantation master community, which has its own master association and rules that take precedence.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and townhome. The HOA maintains common elements (e.g., lakes, open spaces, streets) and limited common elements (e.g., driveways, utility lines serving your unit). You are responsible for maintaining your lot and the bank of any adjacent lake.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be for at least one year, and you cannot lease less than the entire dwelling. Timesharing or interval ownership is prohibited. A copy of the lease must be provided to the HOA within 10 days. The owner remains responsible for tenant compliance with all rules.
• Pets: Only common household pets (dogs, cats) are allowed. Dogs must be leashed when outside the unit and limited common elements. Pets that are a nuisance or endanger health must be removed upon HOA request. No commercial breeding or kennels without HOA approval.
