Articles of Incorporation, By-Laws, Deed Restrictions, and Amendments of Three Meadows Phase III

All properties located in deed restricted communities in Florida are regulated by Florida State Statutes, and certain documents which are recorded in the county or city they are located in. When conflicting regulations exist, the order of priority is as follows:

1. Florida State Statutes – Regulate the activities of all HOAs in certain areas
2. Covenants and Restrictions – Provide basic HOA operating processes and restrict the property use rights of homeowners
3. Articles of Incorporation – Usually have limited basic terms which existed at the date the corporation was established and may quickly become out of date
4. By-Laws – Provide more detailed rules which govern the actual operation of the HOA in daily affairs, but do not specifically restrict property use

Complete Current Governing Documents

Oftentimes, these documents are misplaced or not properly provided when a home is purchased. Attached here is one file which includes all 3 governing documents as recorded for all the Phase III as a downloadable .pdf file. These are the current regulating documents as of January 1, 2022. Although the By-laws are currently a topic of concern for the 2022 Board, the document here is the version we have been governed by for the past 30 years. Please take the time to view our other posts on the By-Laws for additional updates as they occur.

Notes:

• The document may take a few seconds to download, and you will require Adobe Acrobat, or any other PDF reader to open.
• This document is for Phase III only. Other sections of Three Meadows should contact their property management organization for current deed restrictions.

The individual documents are provided below as well (along with a searchable transcription).

Remember: There’s been much discussion regarding proposed changes to our deed restrictions / covenants. The 2022 Board is also determined to change the By-Laws, so this document may be out of date. This page and/or others will be updated with those proposed changes if they occur.
