Rules & Regulations – Did Ya’ Know?

  • BY COMMUNICATIONS COMMITTEE

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 per Breeze issue. For lengthy R&R items, this will appear as 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 https://home.alliantproperty.com/community/documents/ R and R ARC Changes 3-18-25.pdf.

There were significant changes in the allowable outdoor (non-holiday) décor and planters. The following information can be found under Rule No.17. Architectural Review Committee (ARC) Section M. 

M. Outdoor (non-holiday) Décor and Planters. The following are the limits on outdoor (non-holiday) décor/planters. This list does not include house numbers, small solar lights, U.S. and military, or Florida state flags. 

Artificial flowers, trees and plants are not allowed.

1. No more than eight (four in front, four in back) ornamental items to include statuary, gazing ball, or other ornamental items and a garden flag within the landscaped area are allowed. All such items are to be put away if you are seasonal and for those who reside full-time, such items shall be put away during an impending hurricane for our area.

2. A single bird bath or fountain is permitted and must be maintained so as not to foster mosquitoes.

3. No more than four house wall décor items to include wall décor on the front of the house, above garage, back of the house, and/or side wall to front lanai/porch entry (if it is not enclosed) are permitted. Such décor cannot represent political affiliations or contain offensive phrases. All such items, if they are not secure, are to be put away if you are seasonal, before you leave and for those who reside full-time, such items shall be secure or put away during an impending hurricane for our area.

4. No more than eight decorative pots around the total perimeter of the house/flower beds are permitted. Pots shall be maintained (weedless, dead foliage/flowers removed) at all times. All pots that are deemed mobile (not buried) are to be put away if you are seasonal unless you have someone caring for them. Pots that can be deemed mobile (not buried) shall be put away during an impending hurricane for our area whether you are full-time or seasonal.
