FAQs about the Community

The CDD provides recreation facilities/programs; common area landscape maintenance/ irrigation; storm water retention pond maintenance; walls, fences, sidewalks and village entrance maintenance; streetlights; residential property trash collection; deed restriction enforcement; and architectural review for residential properties.

There are five supervisors on the CDD. Members are elected to the Board of Supervisors during the General Elections conducted by the Pasco County Supervisor of Elections in November of even numbered years. They are elected to four year terms. Two supervisors will be elected in 2018 and the three other supervisors in 2020.

The Board normally meets on the first and third Thursday of each month at 6:30 PM in the Meadow Pointe 1 Community Center. Check the calendar for exact dates. Residents are welcome to attend the meetings!

The CDD assessments are collected by the Pasco County Tax Collector along with other property taxes. Taxes are due March 31 of each year. Property Owners receive a discount of up to four percent if taxes are paid between November and February. Maximum discount is received if taxes/assessments are paid by November 30.

Each year the Board of Supervisors, with the assistance of its District Manager and Operations Manager, develops a budget for the following fiscal year. The budget establishes what the District estimates will be spent and the amount of assessments required. The budget is adopted after a Budget Public Hearing that normally occurs during a CDD meeting in July. Residents are welcome to attend.

For residential and commercial properties, the assessment consists of an amount required to fund the Operations & Maintenance of the CDD and its facilities. This is referred to as the General Fund. Additionally, residential property owners pay additional amounts to cover the expenses of providing residential trash collection and enforcement of deed restrictions and conducting architectural review.

Any new building, including sheds, and any modification to the exterior of existing buildings on residential lots within the CDD require review by the CDD prior to any work being performed. This includes screened enclosures, screened entryways, changes to doors and windows, painting, and shingles. When in doubt, contact the clubhouse for guidance. 973-1671

No, you don’t need Architectural Review to install a new fence or to change an existing fence. However, you still must comply with the requirements of your deed restrictions. For example, chain link fences are not allowed on residential properties in the CDD. Fences must not be placed where they will block access to easements. They may not be connected to walls that are maintained by the CDD. They may not be placed in the setback required by your deed restrictions. Generally, typical wood or vinyl fences are fine. Check paragraph 11 and 15 of your deed restrictions for detailed information. Remember, a permit must be obtained from Pasco County for fences.

You don’t need Architectural Review for pools. However, pool cages (screened enclosures) do require review. Happy swimming!

South West Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) permits MOWING BEHIND FENCES on conservation lots in Meadow Pointe. Residents living on conservation lots are allowed to mow or clear the area behind their fences (3-4 feet) to prevent encroachment of conservation vegetation.

First, verify exactly where your property line is from your survey. You can cut branches that are growing over your property. If you believe a tree in a conservation area is a hazard to your property, contact the CDD Operations Manager, Keith Fisk, at 973-9671. He will investigate and work with the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) to resolve the problem.

Contact Tampa Electric at 223-0800 or through their web site tampaelectric.com to report the problem. You will need the pole number on the tag, the location, and whether the light remains off/on or goes off and on intermittently.

According to a Tampa Electric representative, the instant off/on of the electric power is a safety response to protect against long electric outages. When a tree branch, bird or animal comes in contact with an electric line, the electric will go off and on. Note: If none of your neighbors are experiencing these outages, there may be a problem with your home electric. Notify Tampa Electric at 877-588-1010.

Storm Sewers are the responsibility of Pasco County, if these sewers become plugged inside and will not allow storm water to flow to the pond system. Residents must make sure debris does not block the entrances to the storm sewers, however.
