This includes the collection of maintenance fees, payment of operating expenses, enforcement of the Association's Declaration of Covenants & Restrictions and Rules & Regulations, supervision of subcontractors and acting as liaison between the homeowners and the Board of Directors. Questions should be directed to Castle's Customer Service Department, Property Management, at (954) 217-7740.
Quarterly Assessments - Homeowner assessments are due on the 1st of January, April, July, and October. Late fees are calculated at a flat rate of $25.00. Checks should be made payable to Savanna Maintenance Association, Inc. and must be accompany with the coupon, which are mailed to you in December. Payments are mailed to a central processing center, not Castle's office. The mailing address is provided on the coupon. If you did not receive your coupons, you should contact Castle's main office at 954-792-6000 to report the problem, so that your payment can be received on time. It is your responsibility to make this payment on time, regardless of your statement/billing status. We rely on your payment to help meet the financial obligations of the Association. You can also sign up for "AUTOPAY," so your maintenance fee can automatically be deducted from your checking account every quarter.
Savanna Commons Clubhouse and Amenities - The Amenities are located at Savanna Commons. These areas are maintained by the Association and are available for use by all residents. These areas include a roller hockey rink, basketball court, and soccer field. The Clubhouse offers classes, miniature golf, 4 pools and a water slide to residents with a valid Savanna ID. The Clubhouse has indoor and outdoor areas available for party rentals. The Association has the added benefit of being able to control access and monitor the activity of these areas.
Gatehouse Operations - There are 2 gatehouses that are staffed 24 hours daily by Marksman Security Services. As a new resident, you must obtain a Savanna I.D. card and a gate entry barcode in order to gain access to the community. Any questions and concerns regarding Gatehouse Operations can be addressed directly to the Savanna Security Director Linley Hibbert or email at lhibbert@castlegroup.com
Owner's Roster - Before the Clubhouse front desk can issue your gate entry barcode and ID’s; they must confirm you have been added to the owner’s roster. To add your name to the roster, you must bring a copy of the closing settlement statement or Warranty deed with a picture I.D. to the Savanna Commons front desk. If you fail to have your name added to the owner's roster, you will not receive your statements for the maintenance assessments of the Association, nor any other written correspondence sent to owners of record (such as Newsletters, Association Budgets and Financial Statements). Tenants - Tenants will need a 1 year term lease and a valid driver’s or State picture ID. Once your Savanna ID has been issued, you will receive your Username, Password, and Pin Number for visitor registration and your vehicle bar code. Our current security procedures dictate that the guards must obtain resident authorization before admitting guests, except for those specifically listed on your personal guest list in The Gatehouse Solutions website or application.
Community Access - In order to have access to all areas of Savanna, you must go to the Savanna Commons front desk with your warranty deed or settlement statement and a picture ID to receive a Savanna ID. Tenants will need a 1 year term lease and a valid driver's license updated with the Savanna address. Once a Savanna ID has been obtained, you will receive your Username, Password, and Pin Number for visitor registration and your vehicle bar code. Our current security procedures dictate that the guards must obtain resident authorization before admitting guests, with the exception of those specifically listed on your personal guest list in Gatehouse web. Guests and relatives cannot purchase barcodes; only homeowners and residents with all the proper information.
Board of Directors
The Board of Directors is comprised of 7 residents who are elected at the Association's Annual Meeting. The primary responsibility of the Board is to manage the Community's fiscal operations, to direct Castle regarding any community operations, and to enforce the Community's governing documents. Repeated violations of the governing documents can result in fines on a Homeowner's property. You should have received a complete copy of the Association's governing documents when you purchased your home. PDF files are also available at the Savanna Commons office at a cost of $5.00 or you can print them for free from the web site under Resourse Center.
