Governing docsNew Owner Welcome
Community map, key contacts, amenity info, and an ACB summary — everything new owners need in their first week.
Any exterior changes — paint, fences, sheds, additions, landscaping, roof, or driveway — require ACB (Architectural Control Board) approval before any work begins. Submit through VineConnect. No exceptions.
Board meetings are held at the community center and are open to all owners. The Board of Directors generally meets on the third Wednesday of the month and the ACB on the first and third Tuesdays; schedules can change and are formally noticed in advance. Confirmed dates, agendas, and minutes are posted on VineConnect and on the Board Meetings page.
Trash is not a POA service — unincorporated Marion County has no curbside pickup, so owners contract a private hauler. Water and sewer are through FGUA, electric through Duke Energy or SECO Energy depending on your address, and cable/internet through Xfinity or Spectrum where available. See the Utility Providers list below for websites.
RSPOA does not restrict renting your home — there are no minimum lease terms, rental caps, or short-term-rental bans. If you rent, you may transfer your amenity access to your tenant by completing the transfer process through the RSPOA office.
