Jockey Club HOA
The Jockey Club of North Port Property Owners’ Association is responsible for community administration, recreational facilities and enforcement of neighborhood rules and restrictions.
Homeowners pay required association assessments, although the amount and services included can change. Buyers should review the current association budget, governing documents, fee schedule, reserve information and any pending assessments before purchasing.
Jockey Club Rental Restrictions
Buyers planning to use a Jockey Club property as a rental should pay particular attention to the community’s leasing restrictions.
The association states that homeowners purchasing after the adoption of its current rental amendment may not lease the property until they have owned and occupied the home for at least 12 months. Tenant applications and background checks may also be required.
