Bylaws and Standards

The Grassy Pointe subdivision is governed by Florida Statute 720 and the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Grassy Pointe document which each homeowner received at the closing of their home.

Home Modifications

All exterior modifications including landscaping, exterior painting, perimeter fencing, pool and/or deck, and installation of a satellite dish, must be approved by the Architectural Review Committee.

The Architectural Review Board and Grassy Pointe Board of Directors have approved new guidelines for mailboxes. The new guidelines permit mailbox posts that match our new street signs. Homeowners will also be notified of this change with a flyer to be included with the annual mailing. The new guidelines may go into effect immediately.

Revised Mailbox Guidelines

  • Mailbox

    Mailbox Example

    Our bylaws permit moving forward with a new style of mailbox units different from what the developer chose, and as approved by the prior Architectural Review Board (ARB).

  • All members of the ARB have approved a revised style of mailbox post that would match our new street signs with the following guidelines.
    • Mailboxes shall be:
      • Black
      • Metal
      • Design must match our street signs as closely as possible.
      • Must display the house number.
    • Homeowners shall be responsible for replacing their own mailboxes.
    • The ARB has considered that homeowners will need to replace/repair mailboxes 5 years, 10 years, 15+ years down the road. It is highly probable that this revised style will be available in the future.
    • The choice to have a single or tandem mailbox will be at the discretion of the homeowner and or adjoining neighbor if they currently have a tandem mailbox. Please communicate with your adjoining neighbor prior to going from a tandem box to a single box.
    • Here is a link to an example of the approved mailbox units. A similar box may be purchased from any vendor.
    • When installing the new mailbox please refer to the diagram below from the official USPS website. The former installer may or may not have installed the current box according to code.
