To All Architectural Review Boards
and Homeowners Associations
For sometime, the City of Winter Springs Building Department has required
persons applying for building permits and occupational licenses to obtain
approval of their Homeowners Association before the license or permit would
be issued.
In response to a memorandum that I sent to the City Manager, the City Attorney
responded: "The City's requirement that approval of applications for building
permits. etc, be approved either prior to filing or thereafter, by a private
homeowners association is an illegal requirement. I recommend the City dis-
continue such practice."
Pursuant to the City Attorney's recommendation. the Building Department is
no longer requiring approval of the Homeowners Association prior to issuing
a permit or license. We will advise persons filing for or licenses
that the proposed activity may require the approval of the Homeowners Associ-
ation and that they should contact their local association for information
prior to commencing. In this manner, the welfare of all concerned can be
served.
Respectfully,
Don W. Houck
Building Official
