HELLO OCTOBER 2026 Come Fall in Love with

Dear Sebring Village Residents, It’s October already, and I’m delighted to put the dog days of summer behind us. I’m looking forward to the fall decorations, pumpkin spice, and everything nice! The busy season is upon us as we prepare homes for our seasonal residents. I look forward to seeing everyone return! There is so much to enjoy, including all the events, dances, and shows. Please remember to stop by the office to fill out guest forms for event passes and overnight stays so wristbands can be issued. For those of you renting out your homes this season, your renters must complete a background check for approval. Names of people looking to rent are posted on the bulletin board behind the mailboxes. We are still in the rainy season, and everything is growing so quickly. Please remember to pull weeds and shape the bushes around your homes. Thank you to everyone who keeps their yard looking beautiful. It truly shows when potential buyers tour our community and say it is by far the most well-kept community they have seen! That makes me very proud. Thank you! Best regards, Missy

Spider Taco Ring If you love crescent rolls and are as obsessed with tacos as we are, this Halloween-y meal is calling your name.

Creamy Apple Bourbon Chicken Skillet The smoky, warm bourbon, zingy mustard, sharp cheddar, and heavy cream allow the apples and chicken here to really pop.

Mini Black Forest Trifles A black forest cake can feel like a big task to make, but these mini trifles break down the components into a very approachable dessert.

Krause Lawn Service

Our lawn service day will start on Wed afternoon & finish on Thursday. Any issues with the lawn service regarding your lot? Please submit a photo with your address in an email to office@sebringvillage.com. Include a description of the issue, and we will send it to the customer service department to be handled correctly. Thank you!

For those who choose to mow their lawns and put out flags, they are to go out on the morning of our lawn service days and come down when they are done. You can’t leave your flags out all the time unless you have new sod down. Please only use red flags. If your flags have faded, replace them with new red flags.

COMMUNITY REMINDERS Weeding: Residents are responsible for keeping their flowerbeds, bushes, etc., weeded all year long. Make sure that the landscaping in your lot is manageable for you. Speed limit: The speed limit in the park is 15 miles per hour! We have many walkers, dog walkers, and bicyclists in the park, so please slow down and help everyone stay safe! If you are walking during dark hours, please wear light-colored, reflective clothing and carry a flashlight. Parking: There’s no street parking in Sebring Village unless such parking is for shortterm purposes of one (1) hour or less. We must keep our streets open for our homeowners to get assistance from emergency vehicles at all times. Please ensure that contractors working at your home leave room for vehicles to pass. Clubhouse parking areas are for residents using those facilities, not for overflow guest parking. Others are subject to being towed unless a parking pass has been obtained from the manager. There is no parking in the white striped areas at the clubhouse, and do not block resident driveways. Guests: Guests must be registered in the office. Sales: All prospective buyers and renters need to complete the background application before any final sale or rental and receive approval from our Corporate Office. The office must be notified of any sale or rental before it is final, regardless of whether they are past or current residents or renters. Community paperwork must be completed. All sales will have a 4-sided inspection completed through our Corporate Office to ensure buyers agree to any rule compliance issues. Pet owners: ** Please submit an updated photo of your pet to the office. Please bring in your pet’s current shot records, as we are updating this information. Pets need to be leashed, attended to, and cleaned up after. If you would like your pet featured in the newsletter as Pet of the Month, please send a current photo to the office with a bit of info about your pet. We are receiving complaints about pet owners not following Highlands County laws and community rules. Click here for more information.
