Grenelefe Townehome Homeowners’ Association Rules & Regulations

1. Architectural Control

• No construction or external changes to any structure (including paint or additions) may be made without prior written approval from the Association’s Board or an appointed Architectural Committee. This rule helps maintain harmony in community appearance and ensures structural changes align with the established aesthetic of Grenelefe​ .

2. Use Restrictions

• Residential Use Only: Each lot and unit is designated for single-family residential use. Commercial activities or storage of any hazardous materials, rubbish, or inoperable vehicles in common areas are prohibited​ .
• Noise and Nuisance: Any activities causing disturbance, excessive noise, or unsightly conditions are not allowed. This includes hobby activities that may create disorderly appearances, such as disassembling vehicles​.

3. Common Area Use

• The Association governs the use of all common areas to ensure they remain accessible and enjoyable for all members. Unauthorized structures in common areas, other than approved entrance signs, are not permitted​ .

4. Exterior Maintenance

5. Pets and Animals

• Pets are allowed but must be kept under control at all times to avoid disturbances. Owners are expected to clean up after their pets and ensure they do not damage common or private property​.

6. Signs

• Posting of signs, banners, or advertisements on any property is generally prohibited unless approved by the Board. Exceptions include “For Sale” signs, but these must conform to Board specifications to preserve community appearance​.
