Some Items to Note About the Rules and Construction Projects
​
Construction and reconstruction projects require approved permits prior to initiating the actual work. To assist with the process, the “Permit Criteria Manual for Projects Within the Coral Bay Community Development District” and the CDD permit application are both provided on the Forms page.
​
Any construction or reconstruction projects on property adjacent to the lakes and other water bodies of the District require permits that include obtaining permission from the CDD, which generally needs to be preceded by an Architectural Review (ARC) Form from the HOA. Docks and shoreline projects are the most common projects of this type. Information for Dock Construction, Lake and Canal Bank Restoration and Stabilization projects are provided in the Rules document. Additionally, prototype Lake Shore Erosion Control Plans are provided in the Rules document’s Attachments section. These attachments were developed by the District Engineer at the Board’s request to offer homeowners a convenient starting point.
​
The widening of a driveway apron, done in connection with the widening of a driveway for any unit with a sidewalk and swale, requires the same permitting process as just noted.
​
The City of Margate is also requesting a copy of a “no objection” letter from the CDD for any project on private property that affects the natural ground surface, such as building a patio, since, per the City, it may affect the area’s drainage.
Lastly, note that Coral Bay contains eight (8) independent Homeowners’ Associations (HOAs) that have their own rules and regulations. These HOAs do not own, nor are they responsible for, any of the common property. However, they do have governing documents that cover their areas of responsibility. Contact your individual HOA for their individual rules and documents by going to the HOAs page.
