Fees
The monthly Association fee is $250. There is a $250 non-refundable transaction fee per unit for entrance into the Association when a unit is purchased. Fees are due the 1st of each month and are considered delinquent after the 15th of the month. Delinquent fees shall be assessed a penalty of $25 for each month of delinquency. Upon 90 days of delinquency of these monthly fees, a lien shall be filed against that unit. Hardship cases may apply to the Board of Directors for consideration of leniency on an individual basis.
Building Insurance
Insurance for building exteriors, common elements, and interiors as originally constructed is billed separately from monthly association fees in May of each year ($557 for 2026). Individuals should purchase insurance for the contents and interior of their unit from the carrier of their choice. Southbrook's insurance carrier is HUB International.
What You Own
You own and are responsible for the interior of the unit plus half width of the walls in, as well as windows, doors, external heating/cooling, utility lines that serve your unit, a designated garage, garage door, parking pad, and decks
Parking
Curbside parking is prohibited in the complex. No more than two vehicles per unit are to be parked in the complex. Units with two vehicles are required to park at least one vehicle in their garage or on the pad in front of the garage. Motorcycles and motor scooters are considered vehicles and may be allowed as a third vehicle per unit as long as they are parked in the garage. Only vehicles owned by residents are to be parked in the complex on a regular basis. Disabled vehicles (flat tires, wrecks, etc.) may only be parked in the complex for a period not to exceed 48 hours. Recreational vehicles (motor homes, boats, trailers) may be parked in the complex for a period not to exceed 48 hours. Bicycles are to be stored in garages and are not allowed on decks, landings, stairways or other common areas.

Pets
No more than two pets shall be permitted per unit. "Pets" are hereby defined as cats or dogs. Dogs must be always on leash when they are outside of an owner's unit. Owners must pick up dog feces promptly and repeated urination in the same spots causing damage to lawns and shrubs is not allowed. Pets making disturbing noises or displaying aggressive behavior are not allowed. All cats must wear bells or other devices to always minimize predation to wildlife when they are outside of an owner's unit. Pets may only be tethered to the owner's patio.

Use of Unit

Unit owners should not hang or display anything on the outside of the windows or walls of a building. No sign, awning, canopy, radio or TV antenna shall be affixed to or placed upon the exterior wall or roof without prior consent of the Association.
Violation of Bylaws/Policies
Unit owners in violation of the By-laws and Policies can have fines levied against them by the Board of Directors. A first-time violator will receive a written notice. The 2nd offense is a $50 fine, the 3rd is $75, and the 4th is $100 and so forth. Unpaid fines after 90 days will result in a lien being placed on that unit. Unit owners are responsible for violations incurred by their renters at a rate 50% higher ($75, $112.50, $150 and so forth).
Barbecue Grills / Portable Fire Pits
Charcoal-fired grills, portable fire pits or similar devices used for cooking, heating, or any other purpose are not allowed. Gas-fired grills and electric grills are allowed. A fire extinguisher must be on hand during grill use. Grills must not be left unattended while in operation.
Leasing Policy
No more than thirty-five percent (35%) of the units of Southbrook Condominium Association may be leased at any given time to a Third Party. All lease agreements must be submitted to the Board of Directors prior to execution by the Owner. Owners shall also submit a "Unit Rental Agreement" to the Board of Directors for each tenant/lease no less than thirty (30) days prior to executing or extending a lease. No owner may lease a Unit for fewer than twelve (12) months. Owners may apply for a hearing before the Board for temporary or special variances in case of hardship. Permission to lease will be granted at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors.
Rental Agreements
No Southbrook Condominium unit will be rented, leased or otherwise occupied unless and until the Association's "Unit Rental Agreement" has been signed by the prospective tenant(s)/occupant(s). All residents of Southbrook who are not the owner of record must abide by this policy. It is the sole responsibility of the unit owner to obtain these signatures and submit the executed document to the Board of Directors before occupancy. Unit owners are liable for fines levied due to By-laws/Policies violations by tenants/occupants of their unit(s).
Policies
Trash
All trash and recyling bins are required to be stored in your garage. They should be placed curbside on the morning they are scheduled to be picked up and promptly stored back in your garage after they are emptied . This helps prevent animals from rummaging through trash.
Washers / Dryers
Should not be operated before 7 AM or after 10:30 PM.
Winter
When absent from the unit, set the thermostat at 55 degrees or higher and leave kitchen and bathroom cupboard doors open. Leave a key with the manager or a neighbor so inspection can be made in extremely cold weather. This policy has been established to avoid frozen pipes and subsequent damage from water leakage.
Rentals / Leasing
We have established a rental waitlist as only 30 units can be classified as rentals. You are placed on the list at the time you email a request to the resident manager. An owner has 60 days after notification to decide if they would like to convert to a rental unit. After the initial notification that they may convert the unit they have 90 days to obtain a renter. A unit may be removed from the waitlist or have their permission to lease revoked at the board's discretion if they have unpaid fees or fines.
