Does Northwood have an HOA or Deed Restrictions

Yes, Northwood does have a very active HOA which enforces our deed restrictions. You can find more information on meetings and download documents from the HOA section of myNorthwood.com. The current annual fee is approx $80 per year.

What is a CDD, and how does it get billed.

A CDD is another body similar in some ways to an HOA, except that they look after common grounds only. The CDD is billed to residents on their tax bill, which some people pay through their mortgage escrow, while others pay as they are billed. You can find more information about CDD's in the CDD section of myNorthwood.com. The current annual fee ranges from approx $1200 - $1400 per year.

What is the proper procedure to put up fence, or other Improvements

All improvements need to be submitted to, and approved by the Northwood ACC prior to any work being started. Failure to comply will result in fines as set by Florida State Law and Northwood guidelines. The form with instructions is available in the HOA section

The ACC will approve your request to meet Northwood guidelines only. It is the Home Owners responsibility to make sure you comply with county and state codes, easements etc.

Any improvements should never touch or destroy property that does not belong to you. Example public utilities, community, HOA or CDD owned property.

What Utilities are included in our Northwood fees

The CDD has picked up the cost of garbage collection, which will now be included in your tax collection.
