The quick and dirty is; 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.
Reach out to Merit at NCA@MeritFL.com
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. We do have several villages and adjacent communities that do not fall under the deed restrictions of the Northdale community, but may have their own restrictions or HOAs separate from the NCA.
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.
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.
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 Complaint Form provided HERE. The form will be received by Merit at NCA@MeritFL.com.
