Paradise Park Condominium Association Inc.

What Paradise Park Condominium Association Inc.'s governing documents say

Paradise Park is a 55+ age-restricted recreational vehicle condominium in Punta Gorda, Florida. It consists of 314 land units (parcels) with utility hookups, a concrete patio, and shared amenities such as a pool, golf course, and recreation hall. Unit owners own their land and a share of the common elements, with the association maintaining common areas and enforcing all rules.

• Age restriction (55+): At least one permanent occupant must be 55 or older. Persons under 21 are not allowed to occupy a unit, except temporarily (up to 21 days per seasonal year, defined as September 1 to August 31). Persons 21–54 may occupy only if a 55+ resident is also present. The board may grant hardship exemptions, provided 80% of units still have a 55+ resident.
• What you own & maintain: You own your unit – a land parcel roughly 42×63 feet with a 10×20 foot concrete patio and utility hookups (sewer, water, electricity). The association maintains common elements (roads, amenities, infrastructure), but you maintain everything within your unit's boundaries except wiring/piping serving other units.
• Vehicle & RV rules: Only one RV may park per unit: an Airstream trailer or motorhome (any class), or any brand of Class A motorhome with an RVIA seal. You may also park up to three additional vehicles (one automobile/van/pickup, one golf cart, one cycle). All RVs must display a sticker; guest vehicles need a car pass. Additional vehicles must park in the storage area.
• Leasing & rentals: All leases require written association approval (no subleasing). Only entire units may be leased; lease terms are not stated in this document, but short-term leasing is referenced to Exhibit C rules. The association may charge up to $50 for processing lease documents.
• Construction & alterations: Any construction (including fences, porches, carports, decks, animal shelters) must follow county codes and the association's construction packet, and requires written board approval at least 7 days before work starts.
• Pets: No specific pet limit is stated in this declaration; however, rules and regulations (Exhibit C) are referenced but not fully provided here. Check the current rules for pet restrictions.
• Assessments & fees: Assessments are due quarterly, with late fees of 10% annual interest plus a late fee not to exceed $25 or 5% of the installment. The association can place a lien on your unit for unpaid assessments. Fines for rule violations may be up to $100 per violation, up to $1,000 total, but only after a 14-day notice and a hearing before an owner committee.
• Sale & transfer approval: All sales (and certain transfers) require association approval. The association must respond within 15 days – it may approve, disapprove, or provide an alternate buyer or purchase the unit itself at appraised value. If no response is given, approval is presumed. Arbitration is available for disputes. The association may charge up to $50 for processing.
