Architectural Review Committee

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Your architectural review committee (ARC) consists of Buckingham Homeowners (Volunteers) responsible for maintaining the architectural standards of the association. Like many homeowners’ associations we have a set of standards when it comes to the architectural design and structure of homes, landscaping addition of sheds, etc.. You can find these standards in the Documents Section under Guidelines.

We are Homeowners within the Subdivision like you, from it's inception the Buckingham Homeowners association has placed significance on uniformity, particularly when it comes to the exterior appearance of properties within our community. Like most HOA's we have certain deed restrictions dictating what you can and can’t do with your property, including how it should look. This is why many houses in planned communities look similar. This type of uniformity does benefit homeowners in the end. The consistent look of properties contributes to the general curb appeal of the neighborhood. This, in turn, improves property values.

If you wish to make architectural changes Such As, new paint colors for your home, landscaping design changes, removal of trees, or even adding a shed or fence, you will need to complete the ARC Review Form. As a Committee,  One of our most important responsibilities is managing the application and approval process for such modifications.

 

Neighborhood Watch

 
 
 
 

Neighborhood Watch is simply a program of neighbors watching other neighbors' property. It is thousands of eyes and ears whose owners have organized together in groups to report suspicious activities or crimes to the Sheriff.

Citizen participation is one of the most effective tools against crime because the job of stopping burglary, robbery or sexual assault is impossible for the Sheriff to accomplish alone. 

the Buckingham Neighborhood Watch Committee provides a way for us to help one another by keeping an eye on each other's homes and property.

When a member of a network sees a suspicious person or vehicle, he or she should call the Sheriff's Office immediately.

Is it an Emergecy? Dial 911

Non Emergency: (813) 247-8200

Welcoming Committee

The welcoming committee was established to let our new neighbors moving into this subdivision know that they have chosen a great place to live. We have put together a Welcome Packet containing information that will help our new neighbors with any questions they may have concerning their new residence.

New Residents seeking information or volunteers to serve on the committee please, give Patrick Sarsfield a call at 654-6388.

 

 

Violations Committee

The Violations Committee goal is to keep our neighborhood looking its best and is responsible for monitoring the condition of individual and common area natural property. Specifically, this committee will:

  • Ensure that lawn conditions and shrubs are kept up to neighborhood standards as outlined in the bylaws and covenants.
  • Expect yards to be maintained at the proper mowing height for the type of grass on the property and that lawns are edged and trimmed to standard.
  • Expect that shrubs are trimmed in a manner so as not to appear overgrown and that weeds are irradicated in shrub beds.

Additionally, areas surrounding yards will be monitored so that they are maintained in a condition that satisfies the neighborhood bylaws and covenants.
