Irrigation Controller Settings -How to video
Skip a week of irrigation in the cooler winter months of December through February when plant growth is limited and less water is needed. Turn your irrigation controller to the off position and turn it back on only when your lawn shows signs of stress or once every 1014 days. Signs of stress include grass blades that do not spring back and leave footprints, appear blue-gray, or are folded in half lengthwise.
Watch the weather and wait to water your lawn during the rainy season to account for natural rainfall. Turn your irrigation controller to the off position and turn it back on only when needed. If you have an automatic irrigation system, make sure your rain shut-off device is working properly.
COMMUNITY REMINDERS COMMUNITY REMINDERS
Weeding: Residents are responsible for keeping their flowerbeds, bushes, etc. weeded all year long. Make sure that 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 Tropical Harbor 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 contractors working at your home leave room for vehicles to pass. Laundry and 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, and pool passes are required for your guests. Be sure to return pool passes when your guests leave. We have switched to a numbered pass system to track them better.
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 they are 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 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 pets owners not following Highlands County laws and community rules. Click here for more information.
Pool: The pool is for the private use of residents and registered guests only. The pool closes at dusk and the gates are locked. Be sure music is turned off when leaving pool area.
Your home would be listed through our dealership, Mid-Florida Mobile Homes Sales LLC. We list new homes and pre-loved ones. We list on multiple websites, including tropical-harbor.com, MyStateMLS, Retirenet.com, and MHVillage. We are open 6 days a week to show homes. Prospective buyers come to our office first for information. Contact the office!
