Waters Reach, Boca West: 54 townhouses, and Phase III roads still in the developer's name

At least the master's Certificate of Compliance and the Country Club's approval of the buyer. Whether the Waters Reach association must approve the buyer, we could not tell. The recent deeds we read carry no certificate, but none was a sale to an outside buyer. We ask the association for its documents on each file, and record any approval it issues with the deed.

Each plat gives its tracts to the association. The Phase III plat says "all of the foregoing parcels, roadways and access tracts are hereby dedicated to the WATERS REACH AT BOCA WEST HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION, INC." (PB 46/196). The Property Appraiser's roll tells a different story for three Phase III folios:

• the drainage Parcels A and H, under National Bldg & Dev Corp;
• the private road access tracts known as Waters Curve Way and Waters Bend Trail, also under National Bldg & Dev Corp;
• open-space Parcel E, under National Bldg Enterprises Corp, mailed to Mahogany's address.

The same gap arose once before. In 1998 the developer quit-claimed Phase II's recreation Parcel F and Parcel G to the association, 15 years after their plat (OR 10518/240). No such deed was found for Phase III. The dedication should already vest the tracts, and the roll may simply lag. Still, for a Phase III lot (Lots 801–1204), we look at the road's record owner and confirm the access with the underwriter.

The master's capital contribution, the Club's Joining Fee and the Waters Reach estoppel's figures. The master bills Waters Reach $134,237 for 2026/2027, up 6.20% (master's adopted 2026/2027 budget, not recorded). That is in addition to its per-unit charges.

A rental amendment to a homeowners' association's documents enacted after 1 July 2021 generally binds only owners who take title after it, or who consent to it (Fla. Stat. § 720.306(1)(h)). Any leasing rule Waters Reach hands us is checked against its adoption date. The master's limits apply to all owners.

• A 1998 replat redrew Lot 601 and Parcel G as Lot 601A and Tract G-1, reserving the tract to the association, which accepted it (PB 84/1). We insure that lot by the replat, not by the Phase II plat.
