Most of what a board or rental owner asks a property manager depends on where the property sits. The same question has a different answer in a drainage district, an incorporated Village and an equestrian neighborhood. I hold Florida Community Association Manager license CAM34850, and BeacCorp holds firm license CAB3255, so this week we put the local answers on the page instead of leaving them for the first phone call.
Loxahatchee: who owns the swale, the district or you?
Loxahatchee and The Acreage sit inside the Indian Trail Improvement District, and most of the area is unincorporated, so building permits run through the Palm Beach County Building Division rather than a city hall. A large share of properties run on well and septic. The page explains what that means for a board or a rental owner: whose job a drainage easement is, and what a covenant walk checks on an acre-and-a-quarter lot.

Royal Palm Beach: does an HOA approval replace a Village permit?
No, and the page says why. Royal Palm Beach is an incorporated Village, chartered in 1959, with its own Building Division at Village Hall, 1050 Royal Palm Beach Boulevard. Most of its communities also run an architectural review board, so a homeowner often needs two approvals, and a manager has to keep them straight.

The Acreage: what does an HOA board actually enforce out here?
Usually a recorded deed restriction rather than a clubhouse schedule: fence height and materials, barn and outbuilding permits, livestock rules. The page also separates the association's dues from the ITID road and drainage assessment that the district bills to each parcel on its own.

Wellington: what changes when the covenant walk includes a barn?
Barns, paddocks and outbuildings on residential parcels change what a walk checks: fencing, footing, generator noise and trail-crossing access. The Equestrian Preserve is the clearest example, and the page sets out how a licensed manager handles those covenant questions differently from a tract-home HOA.

What the four have in common
Every one of them is answered by the same licensed manager, who is also a Certified General Contractor (CGC1528750), so a repair that turns up in a covenant walk or a reserve study can be scoped and supervised without a second search. The pages are written for boards; call or send the form on the property page if you want the same answer for your association.
