Indian Point is a Deed Restricted Community
When our Indian Point community was created in 1994, an irrevocable covenant of rules and regulations was established. All homeowners are required to comply with these Deed Restrictions. These Deed Restrictions were established to maintain the standards and property values of our community. This also helps in deterring crime in our community as it states that all residents are concerned about their community. All homeowners are also responsible to insure that their management companies and tenants are complying. Thus, if there management company or tenant is cited for a violation, the homeowner is also fined. Also, created under the Osceola County ordinance creating the Indian Point community, was the mandate of the existence of the Indian Point Homeowners Association. The role of the Indian Point Homeowner Association is to enforce the rules and regulations established under this covenant. Simply because you were not given a copy of the Deed Restrictions when you bought into the community, does not exclude you from complying. Signs are posted stating we are a Deed Restricted Community. The homeowner is responsible for any fines, liens and legal costs incurred as a result of this violation. So please comply so you will not be fined. If you have any questions please contact us.

Indian Point Community Ordinance
Since the current Indian Point Homeowners Association Board took office, we have been working very hard to improve your community. We have been addressing all residents concerns regarding the standards of your community and the enforcement of the deed restrictions. We have partnered with the County Manager and County Zoning Manager to create the Indian Point Community Ordinance. The ordinance when finalized will have a major impact on your community. It will enforce the deed restrictions on the county level. The ordinance will be brought before the Osceola County Commissioners shortly. Due to all the foreclosures within our community, several signatures were voided. We are in the process of finalizing the remaining signatures and look forward to presenting the ordinance at a meeting in the near future. If you have not signed the Indian Point Community Ordinance, please contact us.
Thank you again for supporting your community!

Slow Down!!!
Please slow down! We are addressing the issues of traffic speeding throughout our community. The Osceola County Sheriff Department is in the community and enforcing the speeding laws. They are issuing tickets to both residents, as well as thoughs who cut through our community. The speed limit in our community is 25 miles per hour and additional signs have been posted. The new radar traffic signs on Prairie Point have been installed to assist with slowing traffic for the safety of our residents. If you forgot, this is not the community law, this is the national law of 25 miles per hour in a residential community. This was on your driving test when you got your license.
Please obey the speed limit for your safety and the safety of our residents.
Remember that stop signs mean stop!!
Please come to a full and complete stop, or you can receive a ticket. Also, parking on the street in our community is permitted, but you must be facing in the right direction or you will be ticketed.
Also, please put down the cell phone! This is for your safety and the safety of our residents!

We hear you!
Since this board took office, the biggest complaint we have from our residents is the enforcement of the deed restrictions. Everyone feels this impacts crime and property values within our community.
We have been working with Osceola County Code Enforcement to see that all issues and violations are addressed. Osceola County has passed several new ordinances and Code Enforcement is here almost daily to issues citations and assess fines. These fines start at $250.00. The Indian Point Community Ordinance is almost complete. When signed by the County Commissioners it will give us more help by Code Enforcement. The Indian Point Homeowners Association has hired an attorney that will assist in addressing issues and enforcing fines and liens against violators.
All homeowners are responsible for adhering to the deed restrictions and county ordinances. If you do not live in the community full time, you are responsible to insure that your tenants and management company obey these rules. If they do not you may incur the fines and assessments.
So make sure that you check to make sure you are in compliance. If you do not reside in the community make sure that your tenant and management company are aware of the rules and in compliance. We do not want you facing fines and legal costs.
It is your community, obey the rules!!
