Arlington by the River Condominium and Declarations HOA

What Arlington by the River Condominium and Declarations HOA's governing documents say

Arlington by the River is a condominium community in Jacksonville, FL — you own your individual unit in fee simple and share ownership of common elements with other unit owners. The association maintains the common areas, carries master insurance, and manages the property. This document is an offering circular/prospectus from 1983 with excerpts of the Declaration of Condominium, so it provides key rules but may be outdated or incomplete.

• What you own & maintain: You own the interior of your unit (walls in, fixtures, appliances, HVAC, etc.). The association maintains the exterior, common elements, and limited common elements (balconies, assigned parking, etc.). You cannot alter exterior appearances or structural parts without board approval.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be for a term of at least six months (including renewals). The association has a right of first refusal: you must notify them of any proposed sale or long-term lease, and they may choose to match the terms and purchase/lease the unit instead.
• Pets & children: Pets are allowed but must be on a leash and accompanied by an adult outside the unit. Children must have adult supervision on common property, especially at the pool. The board can adopt additional regulations.
• Use & occupancy: Units are for single-family residential use only — no transient occupants. No nuisances, loud noises, or activities that increase insurance rates. No signs without written approval.
• Assessments & fees: Monthly assessments are based on your unit's percentage of common expense ownership, paid in 12 monthly installments. The 1983 range was $73.67 to $179.57 per month. Special assessments may be levied. Unpaid assessments accrue interest and late fees and can become a lien.
• Parking & vehicles: Each unit has an assigned parking space (limited common element). Covered parking spaces may be separately purchased in the second phase. No details on guest parking or vehicle restrictions beyond what's shown in the plot plan.
• Developer control & transition: The developer retains control of the association until certain milestones: e.g., when 15% of units are sold, owners elect at least 1/3 of the board; when 50% are sold (or after 5 years), owners elect a majority.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is a summary prospectus with part of the Declaration; the full current rules, modern fees, pet limits (beyond leash/supervision), pool hours, and other operational policies are not included. Always verify with the current governing documents and association.
