Oak Chase Homeowners Association, Inc.

What Oak Chase Homeowners Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

This document is the amended and restated declaration of protective covenants and restrictions for Oak Chase, a standard single-family home community in Vero Beach, FL. It creates a homeowners' association (HOA) that all property owners automatically join and binds every lot owner, resident, tenant, and guest to the rules. The document sets up the HOA's authority to levy assessments, enforce architectural standards, and impose restrictions on lot use, parking, pets, and more.

• HOA membership & voting: Every lot owner automatically becomes a member of the Oak Chase Home Owners' Association. Each lot gets one vote, and new owners must notify the association within 30 days of purchase to attend an orientation meeting and receive a Certificate of Membership.
• Assessments & fees: All lot owners must pay annual and special assessments. The annual assessment is set each year by the board based on the budget, and special assessments for capital improvements require a majority member vote (except for emergencies or government requirements). Late payments trigger a late fee, interest at Florida’s maximum rate, possible acceleration of 12 months' assessments, and a lien on the property.
• Architectural review: No building, fence, wall, structure, landscaping, or exterior alteration may be started without written approval from the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) and then the board. Plans must be submitted showing design, materials, and location to ensure harmony with surrounding structures. Unapproved work can result in a lien and forced correction at the owner’s expense.
• Pets: Only common household pets are allowed (no livestock or poultry). Pets must be leashed outside, waste must be removed, and the board can ban any pet it considers vicious, a nuisance, or annoying. The board also sets limits on the number and kind of pets per lot.
• Parking & vehicles: No commercial vehicles, boats, trailers, RVs, or disabled vehicles may be parked or stored outside a garage unless the HOA designates spaces. On-street parking is prohibited except for board-approved events. Vehicle repairs are only allowed in emergencies and must be completed within two hours.
• Use restrictions & nuisances: Lots may not be used for businesses (except quiet home offices), mining, or subdividing. No antennas, satellite dishes, clotheslines visible from the front, or temporary structures are allowed without HOA approval. Garbage must be in screened containers, and no offensive activities that constitute a nuisance are permitted. Fines up to $100 per day may be imposed for violations.
