FAQ

1. Q: What are my voting rights in the condominium association?

A: The owner(s) of each Unit shall be entitled to one (1) vote on each issue which comes before the condominium association requiring unit owner approval. If a unit is owned by more than one person or by an entity (i.e., a corporation, partnership, or trust), the unit owner shall file with the association a voting certificate designating the person entitled to vote for the unit. The designation made by voting certificate may be changed at any time by the owner(s) of the unit. On certain matters (such as waiving or reducing reserves; waiving financial statements; or amending the declaration, articles, or bylaws) a limited proxy may be given by the unit owner to another person to cast a vote for the unit owner in his or her absence. Unit owners should be aware that most day-to-day decisions of the association are made by the board of directors (and do not require a vote of unit owners).

Q: What restrictions exist in the condominium documents on my right to use my unit?

A: In order to establish harmony in the community, the condominium documents establish certain restriction on the permitted uses of units. The following is a summary of the restrictions applicable to all units: 

Coral Pointe Condominium is a single-family residential community, and all units must be used for residential purposes only. The number of permanent occupants per unit is limited based on the size of the unit, in accordance with applicable zoning regulations. While there are no restrictions on children residing in the community, children must be supervised at all times when using recreational or common facilities. Unit owners and residents are expected to maintain a peaceful environment; nuisances, hazardous or illegal activities, or any conduct that disturbs neighbors—such as excessive noise or noxious odors—are strictly prohibited, both inside the unit and in the common elements.

No modifications to the exterior of the building, including painting, decorations, awnings, hurricane shutters, or balcony furnishings, may be made without prior written approval from the Association. Hurricane shutters must conform to Association-approved specifications, and window coverings visible from the exterior must have white or off-white blackout liners. Balconies and patios must be kept clean and orderly, and may only contain approved leisure furniture. Drilling into exterior surfaces or hanging planters, hammocks, or other objects without permission is not allowed. Residents may respectfully display the U.S. flag in accordance with Florida law.

Common areas such as hallways, stairwells, and patios must be kept clear at all times. Personal items—including furniture, bicycles, garbage cans, and similar objects—must be stored within the unit. Trash must be properly bagged and deposited in designated areas. Hanging laundry, rugs, or any objects from windows or balconies is not permitted, nor is sweeping or throwing any substance out of windows. Skateboarding, bicycle riding, and loitering in common areas are also prohibited.

Pets are allowed with certain restrictions. Only common household pets are permitted, and dogs over 15 pounds require written Board approval. All pets must be carried in common areas and cannot cause a nuisance. Pet structures must not be visible from neighboring units, and the Association reserves the right to revoke pet privileges if the animal becomes a source of annoyance or danger.

Vehicles must be properly maintained and operational; repairs on property are not permitted. Boats, trailers, motorcycles, and similar vehicles may not be parked on the premises. Parking rules must be followed, and no reflective film or unapproved modifications may be applied to windows or doors. Air conditioning units on balconies or exteriors are not allowed.

All moves, deliveries, and non-emergency repair work must be scheduled in advance with the Association and are only permitted on weekdays—no such activity is allowed on weekends or holidays. To protect both residents and the Association, all vendors performing services within a unit must provide a Certificate of Insurance listing the Association as additionally insured. A $500 refundable deposit is required for move-ins, and a $1,500 refundable deposit is required for any approved architectural modifications.

During hurricane season, owners who will be away must secure all balcony items and designate a responsible party to monitor their unit. Residents must not give personal instructions to Association staff, as only the Board may direct employees.

Violations of the Rules and Regulations may result in fines of up to $100 per incident, or up to $1,000 for ongoing violations. Before a fine is levied, the owner will be given notice and an opportunity for a hearing before a committee of fellow owners. Owners are responsible for any damage or costs resulting from violations, and while fines are enforceable, they may not become liens on the unit.

Q: What restrictions exist in the condominium document on the leasing of my unit?

A: Leases are a minimum of 6 months. Applicants require approval by the Association and must submit a complete application.

Q: How much are my assessments to the condominium association for my unit type and when are they due?

A: Each unit is assessed an equal 1/70 obligation of the overall estimated operating budget of the association based upon the current estimated operating budget for each unit, regardless of unit type or of the number of square feet contained in the Unit. Each Unit pays monthly installments of the annual assessments in the amount of $475.00 (including reserves), as set forth in the Operating Budget. Assessments may increase or decrease based on changes to the Budget for the Association and, if the Association needs funds in excess of those reflected in the budget, it may adopt a special assessment which would require payment by the unit owner in excess of the amounts set forth above. 

Q: Do I have to be a member in any other association? If so, what is the name of the association and what are my voting rights in this association? Also, how much are my assessments?

A: You automatically become a member of the condominium association when you purchase your unit.  There is no other association. 

Q: Am I required to pay rent or land use fees for recreational or other commonly used facilities? If so, how much am I obligated to pay annually?

A: The unit owners are not obligated to pay rent or land use fees for recreational and other commonly used facilities. The expenses related to the operation, repair. The association has reserved the right to charge a unit owner a reasonable fee (and require a security deposit) when a unit owner wants to reserve exclusive use of a meeting or party room.

Q: Is the condominium association or other mandatory membership association involved in any court cases in which it may face liability in excess of $100,000? If so, identify each such case.

A: The association is not currently under any litigation.
