Homeowners,
Please ensure you park your vehicles either in your garage or on your driveway so as to not be in violation with the Association's parking restrictions. The Parking and Enforcement Guidelines have been developed for Squires Bluff Homeowners Association, and apply to all owners, occupants and guests within the association. All vehicles located, whether standing or parked, within the Association are subject to the Squires Bluff Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions, and the Board adopted Rules and Regulations.
All of the common drive and the off-street parking are privately owned by the Squires Bluff Homeowners Association. The Association has the right to enforce these provisions against any and all property owners. Owners are liable for their occupants and guest compliance.
The Association enforcement policy can include a warning notice, a fine or towing unauthorized vehicles that have an established pattern of violation.
Thank you,
