Welcome Home! The Central Park Condo Owners Association would like to extend a heartfelt welcome to you. If you are just moving to our great community we have some valuable information to share. We all want our homes to be as comfortable and pleasurable as possible. Thank you for choosing this beautiful community as your new home! Whether you are an owner or a renter we welcome you to the community! Below are a few references to the documents. Below each paragraph is a reference to the section and page # in your document book where the item is located in more detail. Please refer to your documents for full rules/bylaws. If you have any questions contact the association office. Central Park is a Neighborhood Watch Community!! A Air Conditioner Operation To set your air conditioner, switch to Auto and Cool. Do not set to On as this will operate the fan and bring hot air from the outside into your apartment. To conserve energy set your air conditioner to 78 degrees and close all blinds. If the outside temperature is 100 degrees, your unit will only cool to 80 degrees. Setting your A/C unit to 60 degrees will result in a very expensive energy bill and possibly freeze up your air conditioner unit. You should replace your units filter monthly. Assessment Fees Assessment fees are required to be at Community Management Professionals by the 20th of every month. After the 20th a late fee of $25.00 or 5% of balance owed-whatever is greater. 18% (or the highest allowable by law) will be charged to all past due amounts after 20 days. Assessment fees can be paid online at community-mgmt.com or centalparkorlando.com; you must have your account number.

Each owner may tastefully decorate patios & doorsteps, but must maintain and keep it clean. Permanent changes are not allowed to common areas.
