Central Florida is known for their beautiful communities with HOAs that regulate and maintain neighborhood cohesion. This is especially true when it comes to having a swimming pool being built on their property.
Central Florida Swimming Pool HOA Restrictions
Most of Orlando’s HOAs have common restrictions. Such as setback requirements, which dictates how far a swimming pool can be from the property line.
Many communities require a pool must be at least 10 feet from the rear and side boundaries. Be aware, this varies greatly from HOA to HOA. Some require a 15 feet setback, while others it just 5 feet with certain types of fencing.
Pool finishes and color of the deck often requires approval. It is not uncommon for an HOA board to decline projects because tile or decking was a couple of shades to light. Or the project didn’t meet approval because the wrong type of pavers, which weather poorly, were used. This may compromise the appearance of the neighborhood of the long term.
The location of the swimming pool’s equipment, the filtration system, heater, and pool pump, may also regulated. Specific placement, requirement of landscaping screens, and compliance with certain noise level limits. Especially, in communities with lots that are smaller and the sound can easily travel to other properties.
Some amenities are also under scrutiny some HOAs. Such as cascading waterfalls, that may exceed noise restrictions. The hight of fountains, deck levels, and rock walls, the size, depth, and design of the pool, and type of materials used, can all affect construction.
