Indian Point Recreational Complex
Greater Construction Company, the developer of our community, deeded all the common areas and the Indian Point Recreational Complex to the Indian Point Homeowners Association and its members on February 14, 2003 at completion of our community. The use of the Indian Point Recreational Complex is included in the annual membership of the Indian Point Homeowners Association. Failure to submit annual membership dues by January 1st deadline will result in deactivation of access lanyard. There is a $25 reactivation fee once the membership dues are received to reactivte access lanyard. The member is the homeowner listed on the property deed and with the Osceola County Property Appraiser. Their guest is anyone living in their home, which includes family members and/or tenants. The member homeowner is legally responsible and liable for anyone using the Recreational Complex as his or her guest. The member homeowner is the only person legally recognized to represent their property. Unfortunately, family members, tenants and property managers have no authority within our community except within an individual's home.
The numbered Indian Point Recreational Complex key and key card, that the member signs for, is specifically assigned to their home. It cannot be given for use by anyone not living in that specific home. Every homeowner was issued a key when they purchased their home. A homeowner must return the key to the Indian Point Homeowners Association upon sale of their home. An assessment of $60 will be listed on their closing documents and will be credited upon return of the key. The charge for a one time, key replacement is $60.00.
The Indian Point Recreational Complex key is for use to access the playground and tennis court gates. The key card provides access to the pool and restrooms. These gates must be closed and locked at all times. Compliance with the posted Recreational Complex rules is required.
Privileges to the Indian Point Recreational Complex can be suspended, key and key card can be seized, and the homeowner will be liable for damage and non-compliance of the posted Indian Point Recreational Complex rules, the Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions of the Indian Point community and not current on their association dues.
If you rent your home, you are legally responsible for the Indian Point Recreational Complex key and key card that you sign for. You must have your tenant return it to you when they vacate your property. It is your responsibility to legally obtain the key from your former tenant as you are legally responsible for the use of your assigned Indian Point Recreational Complex key. Privileges can be suspended for non-payment of dues and violations of the Indian Point Covenant, Conditions and Restrictions, also know as the Deed Restrictions.
The homeowner must provide a copy of the property deed and photo identification to sign for their numbered non-duplicatable key and key card. Only the homeowner is authorized to sign for one Indian Point Recreational Complex key. Keys are distributed once a month by appointment, please email us at recreation @iphoa.com to schedule an your appointment during the next monthly key distribution.
The Indian Point Recreational Complex does close for severe weather and maintenance for the safety of all our residents. Also, the complex closes early on certain holidays, i.e. New Year's Day, Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Eve, etc.
If you choose not to be a member of the Indian Point Homeowners Association, you can purchase a yearly annual Recreational Pass for $60 for a calendar year access to the Indian Point Recreational Complex. This access lanyard is deactivated if not renewed by January 1st, there is a reactivation charge of $25.00 once the fee is paid.

However, long-term rentals of 28-days or more are only permitted in Phases 3 - 7.

Also, your Management Company, Landscaping and Pool Service are required to have an Osceola County Business License, even if they have one for another county or the City of Kissimmee and Saint Cloud. These are available through the Osceola County Tax Office. They must also have their hang tag displayed from their rear view mirror when they are working within our community and Osceola County.

Fireworks
We know that there is a tradition of fireworks on 4th of July or New Years Eve. We would like to remind all residents that as per the Florida State Statute and Osceola County Ordinance, no ariel fireworks are permitted within a residential area.Unfortunately, the shooting of fireworks into the air is against the law. The Osceola County Sheriff's Department has informed us that the sparklers or fireworks that remain on the ground are the only type permitted in the county. Those that go into the air are illegal. If you want to see aerial fireworks, it is suggested that you go to a local event or theme parks planned for that evening. This is for your safety and that of your property. You are also liable for any injuries or damage as a result.
This is also a violation of the Noise Ordinance, 94-14. Please remember enforcement of these rules is for the safety of all residents and their property. There will be zero tolerance of violators due to respect for your neighbors and the community.
NO FIREWORK BAN will be enforced!!
