If you are planning any exterior modifications like landscaping or repainting, remember to submit your plans to the Architectural Control Committee (ACC) through the Management Company for approval before starting.

Southwind Cove maintains a community-wide repainting schedule every 7 years to ensure a consistent and well-kept appearance.

• In between repainting cycles, homeowners are responsible for maintaining their building’s exterior color beyond normal wear and tear.
• There are 5 approved building colors in Southwind Cove, with all trim painted white to maintain uniformity.
  • Pink
  • Beige
  • Orange
  • Burnt Orange
  • White

Any touch-ups or repainting must match the original approved color for the building.

Fences in Southwind Cove require Board or ACC approval and must be well-maintained. Only white aluminum or PVC fences (railing or shadowbox style) are allowed—no chain link or wood fences.

Fences are permitted only in rear yards and side yards of end units, with a height between 4 to 6 feet. Homeowners must maintain both sides of their fence and provide a 5-foot-wide access gate for community maintenance. The Board has final discretion on compliance and maintenance standards.

To maintain the architectural integrity and uniform appearance of Southwind Cove, all window and door replacements must comply with the following HOA standards:

• Windows may ONLY be replaced with ‘LIKE FOR LIKE’ replacements – meaning they must match the same size, white grids, and opening direction as the original windows.
• Front doors may be replaced, but must remain the same color and size. Any design changes to front doors require HOA/ACC approval.
• Sliding doors may be replaced with French doors if approved by the ACC and necessary city permits are obtained, but the size of the opening cannot be altered. 
• Garage doors may ONLY be replaced with an identical design—no modifications or alterations to size or style are permitted.

Before any external contractor begins work in Southwind Cove, they must provide the following insurance documentation:

• Current Certificate of Insurance (Proof of active coverage which will be valid throughout the engagement).
• Certificate of Insurance listing Southwind Cove HOA Inc. as Additionally Insured, c/o Sunrise Management, 8181 W. Broward Blvd., Suite 380, Plantation, FL 33324.
• Certificate of Insurance listing the Homeowner and their property address as Additionally Insured.

These documents must be submitted and approved before work begins.
