I live in a townhome. What repairs are my responsibility?
The Association* is responsible for your property's landscaping, so we will be addressing broken limbs, damaged plantings, and any issues with your irrigation system (which should be disabled while the ground is still very wet).
Homeowners are responsible for any necessary repairs to the exterior of your own home, including: downed fence panels or gates, screen enclosure panels missing, personal decorations that are damaged, and roof or gutter repairs.
*Each of our four townhome communities is governed by its own Association and Board of Directors. Please consult your specific governing documents for more information.
How do I get rid of my tree and yard debris?
Orange County will be collecting yard waste and debris on the normal pickup schedule for your neighborhood.
Can the Association recommend a tree company?
We are not able to make specific recommendations for tree companies. It is always a good idea to check the unofficial community social media pages on platforms like Facebook and NextDoor to see if there are providers who have done quality services for your neighbors. Alternatively, you can search for professional contractors on aggregate sites like Houzz or Angi.
I have concerns about my street or alley's drainage. Who can I call?
Orange County Public Works maintains the stormwater management system in Independence. You can make a report by dialing 407-836-3111 or visiting Orange County's website at www.ocfl.net.
Am I allowed to remove my own damaged tree?
Yes. If the tree is blocking a street, alley, or sidewalk, it should be removed as soon as safely possible. Follow the guidelines above for disposal of yard debris if you are doing the landscape work on your own.
Are assessments still being collected on schedule?
Yes. Homeowners can make payments for their monthly assessments by stopping by Town Square Residents Club during regular hours, or visiting the Connect Resident Portal to make a payment online.
How can I report an item of concern in the community, such as a tree down?
Contact our Management team at Town Square Residents Club. You can walk in during regular hours, call 407-654-7479, or email [email protected].
