Role of Owners and Residents
Each owner of a home or property located within the Island Estates neighborhood of Hammock Dunes is responsible for being aware of the rules and regulations governing their property in this neighborhood, both at time of initial purchase and throughout the period of ownership. Copies of the legal documents are provided at the time of closing and govern the manner in which the properties within Island Estates are to be developed and maintained. The purpose of these rules and regulations are to ensure that initial construction, design and ongoing maintenance standards are maintained. The goal of the Island Estates Owners’ Handbook, which is provided to all new owners is to facilitate access to the rules and regulations governing Island Estates. Accordingly, it should be utilized as a starting point to understand the key requirements applicable to properties in the neighborhood. Whenever owners have questions and/or are unsure how the rules and regulations apply to their particular situation, the assigned Community Manager should be contacted for clarification and guidance. It’s always a good idea to ask first and avoid potential conflict and lost time and/or added costs.
