Roof, Driveway, And Garbage Can Reminder

  • March 2026
  • Burnt Store Lakes

Dear Burnt Store Lakes Residents,

Maintaining your property is not only important for curb appeal, but also an essential part of being a good neighbor and remaining in compliance with the Burnt Store Lakes Deed Restrictions.

In Florida’s humid climate, roofs and driveways can accumulate mold, mildew, algae, weeds, and debris over time. If left unaddressed, this buildup may lead to premature wear or surface damage and detract from the community’s overall appearance.

Please be reminded that Burnt Store Lakes Deed Restrictions, Section 6.11 (Lot and Structure Maintenance), requires that each lot and all improvements be maintained at all times in a safe, clean, wholesome, and attractive condition. Properties must not deteriorate, fall into disrepair, or become unsafe or unsightly. This requirement includes keeping roofs and driveways in good, clean condition to help preserve property values and uphold community standards.

Routine cleaning and ongoing maintenance can help prevent more costly repairs in the future. If your roof or driveway shows signs of discoloration, staining, or organic growth, now may be an appropriate time to schedule professional cleaning services.

We also want to remind residents about the proper placement of garbage and recycling containers. Per Section 6.9 (Garbage Containers) of the Deed Restrictions, containers may be placed at the curb the day before a scheduled pickup and should be put away by the evening of pickup day. At all other times, containers should be stored or screened so they are not visible from the street. This small effort goes a long way toward keeping our neighborhood neat and welcoming.

Thank you for your cooperation and for your continued efforts to keep Burnt Store Lakes looking its best.

Sincerely,

Dawn M. Caniff,

Community Association Manager
