Important rules

  • Guests stay with their host

What to verify

Buyer and seller checklists

Related research guides

Buyer checklist

  1. 01Confirm the address is inside the association boundary — the community name alone does not prove entitlement.
  2. 02Order a current title and check for the registered encumbrance.
  3. 03Confirm which fee class applies (General, Lake Access, Lake Shore or Statesman Villas).
  4. 04Request a statement of account; unpaid fees can mean access is denied.
  5. 05If access-way use is advertised, obtain Schedule E and Schedule I instruments and the parcel-specific eligibility confirmation.

Seller checklist

  1. 01Obtain a statement of account from the association before conditions are removed.
  2. 02Clear arrears; note the fee is owed whether or not the facilities were used.
  3. 03Confirm which fee class your property is assessed at and disclose it accurately.
  4. 04Remember membership cards are non-transferable — do not promise them to a buyer.
