What does 55+ mean?

Federal and Florida law allow qualifying communities to operate as housing for older persons when specific requirements are met. The practical rules for a buyer come from the recorded declaration, amendments and association policies for the specific neighborhood.

Verify these items before making an offer

• Which household member must meet the minimum age requirement.
• Any minimum age for other permanent occupants.
• Guest stays and rules for visiting children or grandchildren.
• Procedures for age verification and association approval.
• Leasing, pet, parking and vehicle restrictions.
• Clubhouse and amenity access for owners, occupants and guests.

Do not rely on a listing summary

MLS descriptions and online summaries can be incomplete. Ask for the current recorded documents, budget, rules and application materials. If a provision is important to your purchase, obtain professional legal guidance before the contract deadlines expire.
