Do I have the right to speak at Board meetings?
The new state laws governing Home Owner's associations state that if you notify the Board in advance that you want to speak to a particular issue on the agenda, you have the right to do so. Please note that we typically include "open floor" on each meeting's agenda, so that owners have the opportunity to voice any concerns, issues or requests. At the same time, the Board has the right to limit your time (e.g., 3 minutes) because they have an obligation to get through all their agenda in the time allotted.
In addition, if you want a particular issue to be placed on the agenda, you can request it of the Board. The Board may choose to conduct their meetings less formally, allowing members present to speak on any of the issues without advance requests.

Can I have a dog? Are their any size or weight restrictions?

Hurricane Shutters
When can I put up hurricane shutters and long can I leave them on?
Hurricane shutters may not be put up until a hurricane is in the area or predicted by the National Hurricane Center to potentially affect Broward County. Generally, this would be indicated by our location being included in the graphical presentation of the 'Cone of Strike Possibilities' used to communicate the projected path of a hurricane.
Hurricane shutters may not stay in place longer than necessary after a storm has passed, unless the conditions noted above are again present.
​
Under no circumstances can hurricane shutters be used to secure a property in the event that the resident/owner will be away for an extended period of time, including during hurricane season. In this case, it is appropriate for the resident/owner to make arrangements with a neighbor or service company to install their shutters in accordance with the conditions noted above.
