Rules and Policies
 

Covenants Violation Hearing Committee (CVHC)

Marsh Landing Master Association Governing Documents, Green Book, and Rules define the obligations and responsibilities of all homeowners. These rules and regulations are in place in order to preserve the beauty of the community, increase property values, and maintain our quality of life. Both the management and access control company are tasked with monitoring the community for infractions on behalf of the Board.
 
In accordance with the Florida Statues, the Master Board is responsible for levying fines and/or suspending RFID privileges when an owner fails to abide the established rules. The Covenants Violation Hearing Committee (CVHC) is then required to review those fines and suspensions. The CVHC hears the appeals of owners and ultimately imposes a fine or suspension. The CVHC decision is final.
 
The CVHC does not make the rules and does not have the power to change them. That is the responsibility of the Master Board. A member of the Master Board serves as liaison to the CVHC and brings any issues or concerns back to the Master Board for resolution.
 
It is the obligation of each homeowner to review and understand the rules and covenants.  Please remember, the goal of the CVHC is to ensure compliance with these documents. If you receive a letter about a violation observed call your Sub-Association Manager as soon as possible. 
 

Parking Policy, Parties and Events

 
 
 
 
A guest list must be provided to Access Control at least ten (10) days prior to any party or event within Marsh Landing where vehicles will be parked on a roadway. 
 
Marsh Landing Access Control Account Manager or a Patrol Supervisor will visit the resident’s property prior to the scheduled date and address parking concerns and availability. All parking is prohibited on Marsh Landing Parkway. All vehicles are to be parked facing the same direction to keep traffic flowing safely. Most importantly, parking must allow direct and immediate access for emergency vehicles. Vehicles not in compliance are subject to being towed. Residents hosting larger parties or events are advised to make parking arrangements off site and shuttling guests.
 
The same procedures apply to construction sites, remodeling projects and landscaping projects, or at anytime when five or more vehicles are parked in the street. Please notify Access Control and they will work with construction vehicles and vendors, to ensure they are parked safely and not blocking accessibility to other residents or emergency vehicles. Remember, these are services provided by Access Control for our benefit. Our streets are very narrow in many areas. Ease of access for all residents and safety is a primary concern for all.

Commercial vendor work and operation of motorized or noisy yard equipment is restricted on Sundays and major holidays.

Please do not authorize anyone into Marsh Landing for the purpose of door-to-door sales, mailbox flyer stuffing, etc.
 
If you experience a solicitor at your home, please call Access Control at 285-7122 so the solicitors can be removed from Marsh Landing and so it can be determined how they gained access to our community.

Fireworks

2021 - From St. Johns County Sheriff's Department:
 
FIREWORKS IN FLORIDA: 🎆
 
Governor Ron DeSantis signed Senate Bill 140, which created three “Designated Holidays” where shooting off fireworks are now legal. Those three days are Independence day (4th of July), New Year’s Eve (December 31) and New Year’s Day (January 1).
 
This bill specifically notes that it’s not intended to supersede any local fireworks laws, for example, St. Johns County DOES NOT allow fireworks to be shot on the beach.
 
_________________________
 
 
From our Rules and Regulations:
 
XXIII. C. 
Fireworks. Per Chapter 791, Florida Statutes, residents of Florida may shoot off fireworks that launch or explode, on the Fourth of July, New Year’s Eve, and New Year’s Day. In accordance with Florida law, on these specific days, a resident is allowed the use of fireworks, that use explosives and launch into the sky, including shells and mortars, multiple tube devices, Roman candles, rockets, and firecrackers, only when such use in strict compliance with Chapter 791. 
 
Fireworks must be set off from a member’s property. Any resulting damages to another member’s property from said fireworks are the sole responsibility of the person launching them. 
 
The use of fireworks on all MLMA Common Property, Marsh Landing Golf Course and HOA Common Property is strictly prohibited.
 
On other days of the year, Marsh Landing residents may employ other non-airborne, non-exploding fireworks (sparkers, snakes etc.), that are ground based or handheld, cannot propel themselves through the air and that contain no more than 100 grams of the chemical compound that produces sparks upon burning. All are subject to any applicable current St Johns County or Duval County Ordinances.

No Hunting Allowed in Marsh Landing

 
 
Your Master Association Board of Directors, at its regular meeting held on October 10, 2013, concerned for the safety and welfare of all residents of Marsh Landing, voted to designate Marsh Landing as a “No Hunting Community.”  This means that hunting of any animal or bird, by any means (including, but not limited to rifles, shotgun, bow, crossbow, snares, traps, etc.) is now against community rules and anybody found violating this rule can be liable for a CVHC fine and possible legal action.
 
MARSH LANDING IS NOW A PROPERTY REGISTERED UNDER FLORIDA STATUTE SECTION 379.3004, which is the Florida Voluntary Authorized Hunting Identification Program (FVAHIP).  
 
This registration means only an individual who has written permission from the Master Association BOD to hunt is exempt from prosecution.  This action gives law enforcement the ability to prosecute persons who are hunting without written permission.  Your status as a resident of Marsh Landing does not protect you if you are found hunting.  An individual who trespasses on any ML property with any kind of weapon, can be charged with armed trespass, which is a Felony. 
 
Additionally, your Board has worked with the owners of the properties in the surrounding marsh areas (around Marsh Landing) to have them register their uplands properties as “No Hunting & No Trespassing” under the FVAHIP.
 
Residents are reminded that they are responsible and liable for the actions of their guests and hence are reminded NOT to allow guests or family members to hunt anywhere in Marsh Landing or upon registered properties.
 
The waterways in these marshes are generally open for public use.  As such, individuals have the right to fish and hunt as long as they REMAIN in the waters and are not jeopardizing life or property. Once they step foot on uplands, they are trespassing.  Signs prepared with the assistance of the Florida Wildlife Conservation Commission are being placed at four key waterway access locations.  Small signs will be posted at the entrance gates to Marsh Landing advising all guests of our No Hunting policy and reminding residents of the same.  You now have actual knowledge of the policy based upon this communication.
 
Residents who hear or observe hunting, and are fearful for safety due to closeness of the hunters or the direction of their discharging of their firearms, are encouraged to contact your local sheriff’s office non emergency numbers (St. John’s 824-8304, Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office at 630-0500), call 911 or the Florida Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) at 352-732-1225 to report dangerous hunting activities, etc. 
 
Residents SHOULD NOT accost any hunter or do anything to place you in harm’s way in any manner. Also, please do not call and report the activity to the Access Control Officers at the gates as they cannot assist in this regard.
 
With your understanding and assistance, we hope this action will eliminate the problem presented as to the danger of Hunting in Marsh Landing.
