THREE OAKS HOMEOWNERS’ ASSOCIATION

DECLARATION OF RESTRICTIONS

APPROVED NOVEMBER 2024

The first Declaration of Restrictions for Three Oaks HOA was filed with the state of Florida in July 1997. Between 1997 and 2015 seven Amendments were approved by the homeowners in special meetings. In 2024 the Board of Directors took on the project of preparing a new and improved Declaration of Restrictions. Input from the homeowners was invited at many points in the process. In November 2024, sufficient votes were cast by homeowners to adopt the Amended and Restated Declaration of Restrictions contained in this document. These are the rules by which we agree to live. Homeowners are responsible for their guests and tenants abiding by these rules as well.
Additional governing documents include Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (2024) and Amended and Restated Bylaws (2024). These documents can be found on the Three Oaks web site [www.threeoakshoa.com] under Resident Resources/Rules and Regulations.

The architectural review committee works with residents and helps them to understand the rules and regulations related to the landscaping, fence, trees and exterior home modifications. The committee is a service to help residents avoid issues with the community rules and guidelines.

When making improvements, residents are expected to complete and submit an ARC Form for each project. Example projects that require an ARC form include:

• Installation or Replacement of a Fence

• Installation of Driveway Pavers

• Removal of Trees
