Watergrass POA

What Watergrass POA's governing documents say

Watergrass is a single-family home HOA in Wesley Chapel, Florida, governed by a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions. These rules apply to all owners and residents of the residential lots and units within the community.

• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be for the entire residential unit, with a minimum term of 12 months. Subleasing is prohibited.
• Pets: Customary household pets (cats, dogs, pet birds, fish) are allowed, but no more than two dogs per owner. Dogs must be leashed unless in an enclosed area. After two verified noise or nuisance complaints, the pet must be permanently removed.
• Parking & vehicles: All vehicles must be kept inside garages unless the garage is fully occupied, then they may park on driveways without blocking sidewalks. Garage doors must be closed except when entering/exiting. Boats, RVs, campers, trailers, and inoperable vehicles must be stored in garages. No overnight street parking is allowed.
• Architectural review: All exterior construction or modifications—including painting, fences, pools, landscaping, solar panels, and window treatments—must be pre-approved in writing by the Design Review Committee (DRC). Approval requires submitting plans; if the DRC doesn't respond within 45 days, approval is automatically granted (provided the work doesn't violate any covenant or code).
• Home businesses & signs: No trade or business may be conducted on the property unless it's home-based, not visible or audible from outside, and conforms to zoning. Group homes, half-way houses, and in-home day cares are specifically banned. Only one 'for sale' or 'for rent' sign (max 2x3 feet) is allowed per lot, plus political signs two weeks before an election.
• Fines & enforcement: The association can impose fines up to $100 per violation per day (max $1,000 total for continuing violations) after a 14-day notice and a hearing before a Violations Committee. The committee's decision can be appealed to a separate 3-member owner panel, though the appeal isn't binding.
• Assessments & liens: Each owner must pay annual and special assessments set by the board. Unpaid assessments become a personal obligation and a lien on the property, which can be foreclosed like a mortgage. After 30 days' delinquency, interest accrues at the maximum legal rate.
