Pool Violations

HOAs are governed by a set of rules and regulations, known as covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs). These rules can cover various aspects of community living, including the use of common areas like pools. The pool, like other common areas, is owned and maintained by the HOA and is intended for the use of residents and their authorized guests. Jumping a pool fence is considered unauthorized access and a violation of the HOA’s rules. 

Deer Run CC&R states that the HOA Board of Directors sets the standard and rules of the common areas. The Deer Run Board of Directors, in accordance with the insurance policy that covers the Deer Run pool common area, has set a 0700 to sunset for pool hours. This is also due to the Department of Health guidelines for public pools.

The Florida Department of Health strongly advises that children should never swim alone and should always have adult supervision when in or near water. Unsupervised children will be required to leave the pool area.

Homeowners and their guests are asked to take all toys and pool supplies that they bring to the pool with them when they leave the pool. All items remaining will be disposed of by cleaning crews.

A homeowner is required for guests to use the Pool House and the pool common area.

If you are caught jumping the pool fence, the homeowner will lose access to the pool common area for a time frame, and the HOA may impose fines. In some cases, further actions like a ban from using the pool or even legal action may be taken. In Florida, an HOA can fine a homeowner up to $100 per occurrence, with a maximum of $1,000 for the same violation.
