protect health, safety, and welfare of the owners. The Association may impose a lien on each Lot for any
unpaid assessments with respect to that Lot together with interest costs and reasonable attorneys' fees.
The lien is effective from and after recording a Claim of Lien in the Public Records of Broward County,
Florida stating the description of the Lot or Lots, the name of the record Lot Owner, the amount due, and
the due dates of the unpaid assessments. The lien is in effect until all sums secured by it have been fully
paid. The Claim of Lien includes only assessments which are due when the Claim is recorded and must
be signed and acknowledged by an officer or authorized agent of the Association and shall include a
statement that a copy of the Claim of Lien has been forwarded by certified mail return receipt requested
to the Lot Owner.
9.02 Purpose. The assessments levied by the Association shall be used exclusively for the purposes of
promoting the recreation, health, safety, and welfare of the residents and Lot Owners of the Property and
for the improvement and maintenance of the Entranceway Features and the Privacy Walls.
9.03 Uniform Rate of Assessment. Both annual and special assessments must be fixed at a uniform
rate for all Lots in the Property. Exterior maintenance assessments as provided in SECTION 5 hereof
and assessments for charges incurred in connection with the enforcement of any of the terms and
conditions hereof, may be assessed against one or more Lots as determined by the Association.
9.04 Due Date of Assessments. The due date of any assessment shall be fixed in the resolution
authorizing such assessment, and any such assessment shall be payable in advance
in monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual installments as determined by the Association.
9.05 Amount and Basis of Annual Assessment. Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the
commencement of each fiscal year the directors of the Association shall estimate the costs and expenses,
including a reasonable provision for contingencies and for a reserve for capital replacements, to be
incurred by the Association during such fiscal year in the performance of the duties of and exercise of the
powers of the Association. This amount shall then be divided by the total number of Lots within the
Property to determine the assessment due with respect to each Lot. Written notice of the annual
assessment shall be sent to every Lot Owner subject thereto. During the calendar year 1990 the total
annual assessment with respect to any Lot shall not exceed sixty and 00/100 dollars ($60.00) per Lot.
9.06 Additional Assessments. If the annual assessment estimated at the commencement of any fiscal
year shall, for any reason, prove to be insufficient to cover the actual expenses incurred by the Association
during such fiscal year, the Association shall, at any time it deems necessary and proper, levy an additional
assessment against the Lot Owners. Each Lot Owner shall pay a share of such additional assessment
determined in accordance with Section 9.05, as if the additional assessment were an annual assessment.
9.07 Certificate. The Association shall, upon demand, furnish to any Lot Owner a certificate in writing,
signed by an officer of the Association, setting forth whether the assessments with respect to that
Owner's Lot have been paid, and, if not paid, the amount due. Such certificate shall be conclusive
evidence of payment of assessments therein stated to have been paid.
9.08 Effect of Non-Payment of Assessments. If any assessment is not paid on the date when due, such
assessment shall then become delinquent and shall, together with interest from the due date at the
maximum rate permitted by law and the costs of collection thereof, become a lien on the Lot or Lots
against which such assessment is made upon recording a claim of lien, which shall bind such Lot or Lots in
the hands of the Lot Owner, his heirs, devisees, personal representatives, and assigns. If any assessment
remains delinquent for thirty (30) days after recording a claim of lien, the Association may, at any time
thereafter, bring an action to foreclose the lien against the Lots or Lots in like manner as a foreclosure of a
mortgage on real property, for all delinquent assessments assessed against such Lot or Lots, together with
the costs, expenses, and reasonable attorneys’ fees for bringing such action and any appeal thereof or post
judgment proceedings with respect thereto.
9.09 Subordination of the Lien to Mortgages. The lien of the assessments provided in this Section, and
any other Section in this Declaration, is subordinate to the lien of any first mortgage to an Institutional
Lender which now encumbers or at any time thereafter encumbers any Lot or Lots. Sale or transfer of
any Lot does not affect the assessment lien, except that the sale or transfer of any Lot pursuant to
foreclosure of a first mortgage to an Institutional Lender or any deed in lieu thereof, extinguishes the
assessment lien as to payments that became due on prior to such sale or transfer. No such sale or transfer
relieves such Lot from liability for assessments thereafter becoming due or from the lien thereof.
9.10 Exempt Property. Declarant and the Association shall have the right, but not the obligation, to
exempt any property subject to this Declaration from the assessments, charge and lien created herein,
provided that such exempt property is used, and so long as it is used for any easement or other interest
dedicated for community use and accepted by the Association, or dedicated for public use and accepted
by the appropriate governmental authority.
SECTION 10
ENFORCEMENT
10.01 Benefit. Each Lot Owner, their successors and assigns, by acceptance of a deed to such property
shall be bound to each and every covenant, condition, easement, restriction, charge and lien recited herein,
whether or not it shall be so expressed in the deed.
10.02 Enforcement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated in this Declaration, Declarant shall
have the right during the Development period to enforce the terms of this Declaration. If any Lot Owner
shall violate or attempt to violate any covenant contained herein, any Lot Owner, or the Association, shall
first send by certified mail, return receipt requested, to any Lot Owner who may be violating this
Declaration, a letter setting forth the violation and stating the steps to be taken to cure the violation. If
any Lot Owner should fail to cure the alleged violation set forth in the above letter within thirty (30) days
after the receipt thereof by the recipient then the complaining Lot Owner or Association may bring a suit
at law or at equity against such person violating the covenants of this Declaration to prevent or abate any
violation of the covenants of this Declaration or to recover damages for the violation of same. In any such
proceedings, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.
Violation of any restrictions shall give the Association having jurisdiction over any Lot the right to enter
upon over which it has jurisdiction and as to which the violation exists, or similarly to abate and remove, at
the expense of the Lot Owner, as the case may be, any construction, thing, or condition which may be
contrary to the provisions hereof. Failure of the Association or any Lot Owner to object to any violation or
to enforce any restriction contained herein shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the right to do so
thereafter as to the same breach or as to one occurring prior or subsequent thereto.
