About us
Building a Better Northdale, Together!
It is the mission of Northdale Civic Association to improve the quality of life in Northdale through events, programs, and community relations.
We are located in the beautiful Greater Northdale Area near Tampa, Florida and are considered one of the best suburban areas to live in the Tampa Area.
NCA is dedicated to enhancing Northdale’s quality of life through events, advocacy, and community engagement.
The Northdale Civic Association is not a Homeowners Association (HOA) and so does not collect mandatory dues. The annual $50 membership fee is voluntary and provides funding for deed restriction enforcement, family-oriented community events, and website maintenance.
While Northdale is a Deed Restricted community, there is not an HOA in place for the community at large. The Northdale Civic Association does not have lien rights so estoppels are not needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my home inside the Northdale Community?
Check out the Community Map page! The map specifies the communities covered by the Northdale Deed restrictions and the villages that are part of the Northdale Community as a whole.
What are Deed Restrictions?
Deed restrictions are legal binding regulations that are placed into the deed of a property that restrict the things a homeowner can and can’t do with their property. They help to ensure that Northdale remains a desirable, attractive, and well-maintained community that homeowners are proud to call home.
How do I report a deed restriction violation in my area?
Merit conducts periodic property inspections, documents deed restriction violations and will act on their findings when needed. Residents can request an investigation of a deed restriction violation(s). To file a complaint, use the following button. The form will be received by Merit at NCA@MeritFL.com.
Do I need an Estoppel?
No. The NCA is not an HOA, but a civic association. We do not have legal interest in any property within the Northdale Community and do not have any say over estoppels or other HOA related issues/items.
How are Deed Restrictions enforced?
The enforcement of deed restrictions is a multi-step process. When a violation(s) is found, Merit sends letter #1 to the homeowner requesting them to correct the problem(s). Merit will then complete a second inspection. Merit will send the homeowner letter. #2 if the violation(s) has not been corrected. Merit will then complete a third inspection. If the violation(s) remains after letter. #3, legal action will be pursued. The resident will be notified of this step in the fourth letter. Each homeowner has the right to enforce compliance to the deed restrictions from other fellow homeowners.
What should I do if I get a letter from Merit?
Read the letter carefully. You may not know you violated a deed restriction. It is usually something quite simple that can easily be rectified. For clarification, refer to the deed restriction documents for your village. If you are still not sure what issue the letter is addressing; need additional time to fix the problem; or have extenuating circumstances which prevent taking action to correct the violation; it is important to communicate with Merit at NCA@MeritFL.com.
