As part of the communications team’s endeavors to keep our residents informed, going forward we are going to be highlighting at least three items in each Breeze issue. For lengthy

R&R items, there will be abbreviated content with a notation of where the total item can be found.

Our Sabal Springs rules and regulations can be found on our community portal. You will need to log into the portal and go to documents/governing documents/RandRARC changes12 17 2024
