Highpoint Guidelines, Rules & Regulations

It is not the Association’s intent to impose unreasonable restrictions, but certain guidelines are necessary to maintain an atmosphere in which we can all live together in harmony. 

 

The following guidelines are effective as of June 1, 2025.

 

Violations of these guidelines by unit owners, their guests or approved occupants, are the direct responsibility of the individual unit owner. 

ABSENCE FROM UNIT: When leaving your unit for 21 days or longer, please shut off the water supply to your unit. (If you need assistance, please contact the office and maintenance will provide direction). Also, disconnect your hot water heater from its power source and turn the water supply /valve off on top of the tank.  If it cannot be disconnected in the laundry room, you can trip the circuit breaker located in your unit. Put bleach in your toilets and cover with plastic wrap to prevent rodents/pests from entering through the pipes. It is suggested that you set your thermostat to 78 degrees and humidistat (if applicable) to 65 degrees. 

                                                                                                                                                                     

 

AWNINGS AND/OR HURRICANE SHUTTERS:  Must be lowered & secured when you are absent during hurricane season. (Hurricane season is from June 1st to November 30th).  One opening (front door) must be accessible at all times. CLOSING AND SECURING AWNINGS /HURRICANE SHUTTERS IS NOT THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE ASSOCIATION, IT IS THE UNIT OWNERS RESPONSIBILITY.  PLEASE MAKE ARRANGEMENTS WITH A CONTRACTOR/HANDYMAN IN ADVANCE.  IF YOU ARE A YEAR ROUND RESIDENT, AWNINGS/HURRICANE SHUTTERS SHOULD BE CLOSED IMMEDIATELY AT THE TIME A HURRICANE WATCH/WARNING IS ISSUED.  PALM BEACH COUNTY REQUIRES OPENING OF AWNINGS/SHUTTERS WITHIN 14 DAYS OF THE STORM EVENT ENDING UNLESS ANOTHER WATCH/WARNING OCCURS DURING THOSE 14 DAYS. 

 

 

ADDITIONAL HURRICANE PREPARATION:  All patio furniture and décor, plants, grills ( except propane tanks), recycle bins, etc. must be removed from the exterior of the building and stored inside your unit, NOT in the Laundry room.  Propane tanks may be stored inside the ground garbage cans and/or brought to the Maintenance Shed with your name on it.  Any motorcycles and/or golf carts are to be removed from the property during a hurricane watch and/or warning.

 

 

A/C & PLUMBING: Air conditioners, including compressors, hot water heaters and water pipes serving the individual unit are the responsibility of the unit owner. 

 

ATTIRE: A shirt or beach cover-up must be worn over bathing suits when not in the immediate pool area. Shoes or sandals are required when entering the Clubhouse from the pool area.  Please dry off prior to entering the clubhouse.

 

BICYCLES: Bicycles may be parked only against the rear and/or side of your building or in front of your vehicle. No bicycles are to be left in front of your unit or in the entryway. 

 

BUILDING EXTERIOR: No unit owner shall change the outside appearance of the common area, including planting, nor have additions of any kind installed (i.e. awnings, patios, gutters etc.) without first obtaining written approval of the Board of Directors. 

 

CABLE TV/ INTERNET: Cable TV and Internet is provided for all units. Tune in to Channel 901 for Community News. 

 

CAR/ TRUCKS: No vehicles are to be parked or driven on the lawn (common ground) in order to avoid possible damage to underground pipes and sprinklers. 

 

CLUBHOUSE: There is NO SMOKING in the Clubhouse or Pool area except in designated areas. Children under eighteen (18) years of age are not permitted in the Clubhouse without an adult other than to use the restrooms. Persons must be eighteen (18) years of age or older to use the billiard room. Shoes and proper attire must be worn when in the Clubhouse.  For safety reasons please dry off before entering the clubhouse from the pool. Please do not remove any furniture from the clubhouse.

 

EMERGENCY ACCESS: The Association has the right to access your unit in the event of an emergency. A key and/or code to your unit should be kept in your Unit Owner file in the Association office for emergency use by the Board of Directors. If you do not supply a key for use by the Board, please leave the name of person(s) possessing a key to your unit for the Board of Directors to contact in an emergency. This only applies if that person(s) resides year round near your unit, due to the fact that access could be critical in an emergency. 

 

EMPLOYEES: Employees of the Association take orders directly from the Board of Directors, NOT individual unit owners. Employees are allowed to accept jobs unrelated to their regular duties, provided these jobs are performed outside of their regularly scheduled hours. 

 

GUESTS: Unit owners are responsible for their guest’s behavior. Please inform your guests of the general rules and regulations of the Association. If you are not in residence, but intend to have guests occupy your unit, you must inform the Board of Directors in writing. Complete a "Visitor Registration Form" which is available on the High Point Sec 3 Website or contact the Association Office during business hours. If individuals will be occupying a unit in the unit owner’s absence for more than (30) days they will be considered as renters, in which case the owner follows the Renting Procedures. (Forms and procedure are online at www.highpointsection3.com/renting or contact the Association Office during business hours). 

 

INSURANCE: The Association is responsible for the exterior of the building only. It is optional for the unit owner to insure the interior and contents of his/her unit. 

 

LAUNDRY ROOMS: Hours are from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM only. Drying clothes on clothes racks on common areas is not permitted. Wet clothing or other items may not be draped over bushes, awning supports, chairs etc., for drying. Per City fire code, laundry rooms are not to be used for storage purposes. No bicycles, yard tools, lawn chairs or anything combustible may be stored in laundry rooms. Laundry room doors must be closed when you exit to prevent damage to doors due to wind and rain and to prevent infiltration by insects, rodents & snakes. 

 

PARKING: All vehicles must display current registration/ license tags in accordance with City ordinance or they will be towed. Unit owners have only one designated parking space per unit. A unit owner may not utilize more than one parking space by straddling their vehicle and thereby invading a second space.

the parking lot located at the Maintenance shed with prior approval of the Board of Directors. Disabled vehicles or vehicles with “For Sale” notices are prohibited.

No glass containers are allowed. Only plastic or metal containers for beverages are allowed. 

 

RENTAL INSPECTIONS: A visual inspection of the unit is required by the Board of Directors prior to approving any rental in order to maintain building standards.  If it is deemed that further inspection by a professional is needed, the Board of Directors will choose the inspector and the owner will be responsible for payment of services.

 

SALES & RENTALS: There are procedures and restrictions that we must conform to according to article XI  – Declaration of Condominium. The Board of Directors must be notified, in writing, prior to selling or renting any unit. An “Intent to Sell Form” or an “Intent to Rent Form" must be completed and submitted to the Association office.
