Welcome New Homeowner!

Dear New Homeowner:

Congratulations on your purchase of a home in Lakes at Boca Raton, and welcome to our community!

You will find answers to many questions about your new community on this website. 

Basic Information, the section you are already in, is the place to start.  It will introduce you to G.R.S., our property management company, and familiarize you with the role it plays in managing our community’s affairs.  For information about your financial obligations to the Lakes, click on $$$.  Another section briefs you on security measures you can take to better protect your home and family.  For information about our HOA complex of buildings and recreational facilities, click on the Community Center link.

For information on the fine schedule used by the Compliance Committee to enforce the Association's Governing Documents, click on the Violation Fine Schedule link.

If the home you purchased is in Pelican Cay or Woodstream, please click on the appropriate link for either one on the main menu of this website.  Each of these communities has their own local sub-association, Board of Directors, Governing Documents and architectural control committee.

If you purchased a home in Symphony, please click on the Sub-Association link for information that is unique to that subdivision.

Elsewhere on this website, you will find a calendar of community events and directories of useful Internet links and phone numbers.

Need a babysitter, someone to walk your dog or a tutor?  Go to The Classified Network link to see ads from residents of the Lakes who offer these and many other services.  In case you have a service to offer, you can advertise it on The Classified Network for FREE!

The Lakes is governed by a Board of Directors which is elected by the Members of the Association.  You are welcome to attend its monthly meetings, which are held on the third Monday of each month at 7:00 pm in the clubhouse.  Each meeting begins with the Homeowner Forum, which gives any homeowner the opportunity to address the Board of Directors for up to three minutes about any matter pertaining to the Lakes at Boca Raton.  For a list of our current Directors and the various volunteer committees established by the Board, click on the Directors & Committee Members tab.  If you are interested in being a volunteer in your new community, please contact Loren Kellock, our on-site property manager in the HOA office at the Community Center.

You can download any of the administrative forms used in the Lakes once you click on Forms.

If you are planning to make any exterior changes to your property, you will first need to get approval from the Architectural Control Committee (ACC), which meets the second Wednesday of each month at 6:30 pm.  To get the ball rolling, download either of the two ACC Modification Application forms, fill it out and submit it to Property Manager Loren Kellock in the on-site HOA office.  
 

We maintain a current and complete set of our Governing Documents on this website.  For information on the obligations of homeowners, please consult Article VI of the Declaration of Covenants, as well as the Rules & Regulations, by clicking on the  Documents link. 

If you have any questions that you can’t find the answers to on this website, please click on the Contact Us link and send us an e-mail.  It will be forwarded to the appropriate person for a prompt reply.
