Tuscany Square Rules and Regulations

Last Revision: February 22, 2024

This is a summary of the Rules and Restrictions that currently exist in the following Documents:

  • Venetian Bay HOA Covenants and Restrictions
  • The By-Laws of the Association section IV Restrictions on Use and Occupancy
  • By-Laws of the Association Article XVII Rules and Regulations

The Unit Owners shall, always, obey said rules and regulations and shall use their best efforts to see that they are faithfully observed by their families, guests, invitees, servants, lessees, and persons over whom they exercise control and supervision. Said initial rules and regulations are as follows:

A residential unit owner may use his unit as a single-family residence only. There are no restrictions regarding children. For the safety of all residents and guests, children should not play, ride bicycles, skateboards, or other motorized vehicles in the community driveway. Surveillance cameras have been installed around the premises to enhance the safety and wellbeing of all residents. The cameras shall attempt to identify unauthorized entry into Tuscany Square, illegally parked vehicles, individuals responsible for property damage, and dog owners who violate the by-laws of the Association.

Other restrictions include, but are not limited to, the following:

  1. PETS: (Amended 1/28/2021) The only permitted pets shall be dogs [not to exceed 20 pounds each), cats, birds, and fish. No more than 2 four-legged animals shall be permitted to reside in a unit. The owners of the pet must pick up all solid waste of their pet and dispose of such waste appropriately. Note also that dogs are not permitted to urinate in landscaped areas either on the rocks or in the shrubs. The urine smell remains until it rains, and the urine has a negative effect on the health of the shrubs and trees that are planted in these areas. All dogs and cats must be kept on a leash no more than six (6) feet in length at all times when outside the Unit and shall be walked only within areas, if any, designated for such purpose by the Association or the Master Association. All owners of pets are required to clean up all pet droppings deposited on the Common Elements and must supply his/her own waste removal bags. The pet may not be left unattended when outside the Unit and may not be tied or tethered to any objects outside. The owner, tenant, or guest must maintain complete control over the leashed pet at all times when outside the Unit. The pet may not roam or wander. In the elevators, the pet must be under the handler’s control at all times. Pets are not permitted to relieve themselves on the sidewalks, parking lot or other hard surfaces in the community. Should this occur, Owner, tenant or guest must immediately and thoroughly clean the affected area.

If the above rules are not followed, the Board will levy cleanup charges on the pet owner, and, if noncompliance persists, will require removal of the pet from Tuscany Square. (Section 18.6 Declaration of Condominium-Tuscany Square and Section 2.13 Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions for Venetian Bay Subdivision provide the Board with full authorization to execute these actions).

  • First offense: $50.00 cleanup charge and a warning letter outlining the violation.
  • Second offense: $100.00 cleanup charge
  • Third offense: 100.00 cleanup charge and removal of pet from Tuscany Square.

The Association reserves the right pursuant to Florida Law addressing nuisances and/or safety and health concerns, to require removal of the pet at any time should the pet become a nuisance to, or a threat to the health and safety of, others which includes, but is not limited to: excessive barking; biting, aggressive behavior (including nipping and lunging); attacking persons or other animals; Owner’s, tenant’s or guest’s failure to immediately and properly dispose of excrement or waste; failure to comply with all statutes and local ordinances and statutes related to the animal (including any required licenses or tags)l not maintaining the animal on a maximum six foot leash at all times when outside of the Unit; insect/extermination problems; sanitation/odor problems; and/or Owner’s tenant’s or guest’s inability to control the animal.

  1. MOVE-IN/MOVE-OUT: Prior to Move In, all residential sales or leases must be preceded by an “Application for Purchase/Lease” which is found on the Tuscany Square website: https://tuscanysquarecondominium.org/realtors-checklist/. This application will include an area to indicate the move in date.  We will have the elevator padded.  Please notify the Association if that date changes. No unit shall be sold or leased unless the owner first receives an approval email from the Association which will be sent when we receive confirmation that all assessments have been paid in full. 

Residents moving out of the complex should notify the Association by submitting a Maintenance Request form on the website. Maintenance Request Form – Tuscany Square I Condominiums (tuscanysquarecondominium.org). Please include the date you are moving out.  This will allow time to pad the elevators.

A $300 refundable deposit must accompany a move-in/move-out notification. This deposit should be placed in a sealed envelope with the owner/resident’s name, unit number and date of move. This envelope can be placed in the white drop box on building 6 by the maintenance office. This amount will be used to pay for any damage that may occur to the common areas, including the elevator, stairwells, hallways, etc. Our maintenance staff will pad the elevator cab to protect it from damage. 

After the move is completed, a member of the maintenance staff and/or condo board will review the condition of the common areas and provide a list of the damages, if any, to the owner of the unit. Any refund due will be processed as soon as any damaged common areas have been repaired. If the damage exceeds the deposit, the moving/delivery company/personnel shall be billed. If no damages are incurred, the deposit check will be returned to the owner/tenant.

NO large, bulky items such as furniture, appliances, etc. can be transported in the elevator unless protective padding has been installed. Please submit a maintenance request at https://tuscanysquarecondominium.org/helpful-forms/maintenance-request-form/ to have pads installed.

Moving is NOT permitted before 8:00 am or after 7:00 pm. If you need to move in or out on a Sunday, please make special arrangements for permission by submitting a maintenance request at https://tuscanysquarecondominium.org/helpful-forms/maintenance-request-form/  

  1. PARKING: (Amended 02.22.2024, Implemented 03.11.2024) Per the Second Amendment to the Declaration
    recorded on 5/2/2008 under the paragraph heading Parking (5) which describes the assignment of parking
    garages and uncovered spaces it is noted that “All commercial parking areas are located on Tract T or the
    outside parking lot pursuant to Easement Grant, or an adjacent dedicated right-of-way.” No commercial owner
    or employee parking is allowed within the gated areas of the complex.

    No parking on the Right of Way. There are two signs clearly posted at the gated entrance that state this. The
    Right of Way is defined as the U-shaped driveway on the interior of the complex. No motor vehicle shall be
    parked on the Right of Way in a manner that obstructs the safe, free flow of vehicular traffic or obstructs the
    movement of other vehicles into and out of the condominium complex. Parking is not allowed in front of
    garages if no apron exists. Also, this Right of Way must remain clear to allow any emergency vehicles access to
    all areas should the need arise. Stopping alongside of the Right of Way is only permitted for quick drop-offs or
    pick-ups, in which case emergency flashers should be used.
    Please inform service technicians and workers that they may park inside the gated area only in designated white
    curbed service/delivery parking spaces or on your assigned apron while they work. For services requiring greater
    than 30 minutes vehicle owners must post a notice in windshield indicating unit # where work is being
    performed. Residents must inform their service tech of this requirement.
    White curbs – Resident and commercial owners and/or employee parking is not allowed in any area designated
    as Parking for Delivery and Service Vehicles Only, except for drop-off or short-term delivery using flashers with a
    parking limit of 30 minutes.
    Yellow curbs – No vehicles are permitted to park in areas designated with a yellow curb.
    Fire Hydrants – Any vehicle parked in front of a fire hydrant is subject to towing without notice and/or ticketing
    by law enforcement or code compliance.
    12 Open space parking spots –12 open spaces are for Residential Vehicle Parking only with a valid COA parking
    sticker with a 48-hour parking limit.
    These parking rules apply to all vehicles, whether those of the resident, resident’s contractors, commercial
    owners or employees or any guest. The resident or commercial owner is responsible for violations by their
    employees, contractors, and guests. This includes any vehicle owned or used by residents’ friends or family
    members and parked on the property for any length of time.
    All residents shall register ALL motor vehicles with the Association Office and be issued a vehicle identification
    decal. These decals must be displayed in a clearly visible location, i.e., the driver’s side of windshield. Since the
    parking situation at Tuscany Square is extremely limited, the decals are for the purpose of controlling parking.
    Residents must provide pertinent vehicle identification data in order that all registered vehicles may be properly
    identified. To request additional parking stickers for your vehicles that do not yet have them, please visit
    https://tuscanysquarecondominium.org and complete the parking sticker Request form. Visitors may park in a
    unit’s assigned garage, parking apron, or overflow parking lot only.

Access Gate Instructions and Parking Permits

Directory Name: This is the name that will appear on the entry system at the gate. The system will display the first initial and last name of the person(s) occupying the unit. Your unit number will NOT appear on the directory system. 

Resident Phone Number: This phone number will be called automatically by the access gate system when a visitor arrives. When you answer the phone, a two-way conversation is initiated with the person at the gate. Pressing ‘9’ on your phone will open the gate and end the call immediately.

Directory Number: This is a three digit number assigned to the resident phone number in the directory system.

When you are expecting a guest or any other non-residents, including workmen, deliverymen, movers etc., you should instruct them to use the directory system at the callbox located next to the vehicle and pedestrian entry gates. They will press the up or down arrow to see an alphabetic listing of last names. (Your unit number will NOT appear on the directory system.)  Next to your name will be the directory number. When the directory number is entered, the System will call the resident phone number you provided to us.  Once the resident has answered the call, they have two options:

– Dial “9” to grant access (do a long press if you are using a cell phone)

– Hang up to disconnect the call and deny access

You have 60 seconds to complete the call with the individual at the entry gate, however pressing “9” to allow access immediately disconnects the call.

If the resident is on the phone and has call waiting, they will be notified that someone is at the gate via the normal call waiting procedure. The caller ID from the gate access system is “Gate System”.

If the resident phone number you supplied is a cell phone number, there will be no caller ID from the gate system until you add it to your contacts list on your cell phone.

Parking Permits

Vehicles belonging to residents will be given a white and green, numbered parking sticker that can be attached to the car’s windshield. The stickers will enable our staff to identify illegally parked vehicles, so they can contact the towing service for immediate removal of the vehicle. We also want to alert all residents to the yellow No Parking signs that are painted on the entrance to the six buildings and the four exterior trash receptacles.  It is illegal to park in these areas, and any unoccupied vehicle parked in these areas will be towed.

Pet Rules and Regulations

It is the responsibility of all dog owners to remove their dog’s waste from the grounds.  Note also that dogs are not permitted to urinate in the landscaped areas either on the rocks or in the shrubs!  The urine smell remains until it rains, and the urine has a negative effect on the health of the shrubs and trees that are planted in these areas. Take your canines to the large fields either north or east of the complex. 

 If the above rules are not followed, the Board will levy cleanup charges on the pet owner, and, if noncompliance persists, will require removal of the pet from Tuscany Square.  (Section 18.6 Declaration of Condominium-Tuscany Square and Section 2.13 Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions for Venetian Bay Subdivision provide the Board with full authorization to execute these actions). 

First offense: $50.00 cleanup charge and a warning letter outlining the violation.

Second offense: $100.00 cleanup charge

Third offense: 100.00 cleanup charge and removal of pet from Tuscany Square.

An Occupant may maintain no more than 2 four-legged pets in the Unit, to be limited solely to dogs (not to exceed 20 pounds each) or cats, provided same are not kept, bred or maintained for any commercial purpose, do not become a nuisance or annoyance to neighbors and are first registered with the Association. The only other pets permitted upon the Condominium Property shall be birds and fish, which animals (a) shall not be kept in or on the Common Elements or Limited Common Elements but which shall be required to be within the boundaries of a Unit at all times and (b) shall not become a nuisance or annoyance to neighbors.

Clean UpThe owners of the pet must pick up all solid wastes of their pet and dispose of such wastes appropriately. All dogs and cats must be kept on a leash no more than six (6) feet in length at all times when outside the Unit and shall be walked only within areas, if any, designated for such purpose by the Association or the Master Association. No pets may be kept in or upon any Limited Common Element appurtenant to a Unit (the balcony) when the owner of the pet is not in the Unit. The owner of a pet shall indemnify the Association and the Developer and hold them harmless from and against any loss or liability of any kind or character whatsoever arising from such owner’s having any pet upon the condominium Property. All owners of pets are required to clean up all pet droppings deposited on the Common Elements. If any pet owner fails to clean up after the pet, the Association shall perform such service or cause such service to be performed and charge the offending pet owner for the costs associated therewith.

Any complaints filed by residents of damage caused by a pet shall be submitted in writing to the Board, which shall determine the amount of the damage and notify the person who owns the pet in writing to make the necessary repair, replacement or removal (as the case may be). lf such person fails to properly act within 15 days from the date of such notice, or fails to otherwise reach an agreement in writing with the Board as to the payment for such damage or remedying any other violation within 15 days from the date of such notice, such person shall be required to permanently remove the pet from the Condominium Property. Payment for damages pursuant to this subsection shall not be in lieu of any right of action which the person sustaining the damage shall be entitled to independently.

Any pet complaint filed with the Association, whether or not such complaint involves damage as described in the above paragraph, shall be verified by a designated member of the Board of Directors. Each verified pet complaint shall constitute an infraction for purposes of this subsection. The Board shall take action with regard to such infractions as follows:

(a) If the complaint is the first infraction, the Board shall notify the pet owner of the infraction in writing and formally request that no such infraction again occur.

(b) If the complaint is the second infraction, the Board shall notify the pet owner and warn such owner that the next infraction will cause a penalty fine to be assessed.

(c) lf the complaint is the third infraction, the Board shall notify the pet owner of the continuing violation and refer the matter to a committee of three (3) Unit Owners, none of whom shall be presently serving on the Board or be related to a director or the offending pet owner, for a determination as to a fine for the continuing infraction. Such committee shall, within 7 days following issuance of the notice of third infraction to the offending pet owner, determine whether a fine should be levied for such continuing infraction and provide a recommendation thereon to the Board. The amount of any fine shall not exceed the maximum amount allowed under the applicable provisions of Section 718.303, Florida Statutes. If a fine is recommended by such committee, the Board shall issue a written notice to the offending pet owner advising of the levying of the fine. However, such fine shall not become due and owing until such pet owner has received such written notice and has been given the opportunity to request a hearing before the committee of Unit Owners described in this subsection (c) at a time and date which shall not be more than 30 days after the date of such notice. In the event the offending pet owner elects not to seek such a hearing, the recommendation of a fine made by the committee shall become binding upon the Association and the pet owner. If such a hearing is held the decision of the committee as to whether to rescind, modify or ratify the proposed fine shall be binding upon the Association and the pet owner. All decisions made by such committee shall be made by majority vote.

(d) If the complaint is the fourth infraction, the Board shall notify the pet owner and demand that the pet be removed from the Condominium Property within 30 days from notice. Prior to taking the action contemplated in this subsection (d), such pet owner shall have the same opportunity for notice and a hearing as provided in subsection (c) above.

Infractions for purposes of this Section shall accumulate only on the basis of separate 12 month periods with each new period commencing on the annual anniversary date of this Declaration (“Infraction Period”) In other words, the number of infractions in any Infraction Period shall not be carried forward into the next Infraction Period for purposes of the enforcement of this Section.

Property Modifications

Please note that any change, alteration, addition, or modification to the external appearance or structure of a condominium unit or its assigned garage, must receive prior approval by the Association’s Board of Directors. In addition, certain modifications to the interior of the unit require prior review by the Board to assure that no structural issues will result. The Association’s review and approval process is not limited to the following, but will take into consideration: the design, final look, structural soundness of the modification requested and the contractor’s ability to perform the scope of work. There may, in some cases, be pre-approved products that have been selected by the Association for uniformity from unit to unit.

Proper Use of Dumpsters and Trash Chutes

As you may have noticed, the “Authorized Personnel Only” signs on the 1st floor trash rooms have been painted black. Some residents considered these trash rooms “Off Limits” when in reality; they are specifically for residents use. There are trash chutes on every floor near the elevators for your convenience. Use the trash chute if your refuse will fit into it, however, if it is too large to go down the chute, please take it downstairs and dispose of it in the dumpster. Do not leave anything in the trash rooms on the residential floors. Unfortunately, we do not have a recycling program at this time, so everything goes in the dumpster. Trash pickup is every Monday and Thursday (at no particular time). 

The dumpsters located outside, around the driveway, are for commercial tenant use only. These dumpsters are much smaller and fill up quickly, so please reserve these for commercial use only.
