            The Board oversees a professional management staff which takes care of the day to day functioning of our common property.  Rick Leach is our Property Manager.    Phone number is 734-4511.  Office hours are Monday – Friday 8-12 and 1-4.

Rules and Regulations:

            The Rules and Regulations are voted by the POA Board of Directors so that all of

us can share the many amenities of our community and maintain the value of our property.

These rules are periodically reviewed and revised, as necessary, with community input. 

Please read the Rules and Regulations booklet enclosed in this package.

                       

Access:        

            Your electronic gate card or fob will permit you to enter Banyan Springs at both the main

Boynton Beach Boulevard entrance and the secondary entrance on Military Trail.  All visitors

must enter from Boynton Beach Boulevard.  At the left entrance lane, there is a keypad. 

Visitors must press the telephone symbol on the keypad, then dial the 3-digit telephone code

assigned to you by the office. This will ring your home phone.  After you answer the phone and

confirm your guest’s arrival, press 9 on your phone and hang up.  This will open the gate. 

Remember to give your guests your telephone code number and driving instructions from the gate

 to your home in advance. You will also use your gate card  or fob to access the main and cabana pools,

 clubhouse and spa.

 

Garbage Disposal:

            Garbage is collected on Tuesdays and Fridays.  Recycled items are collected on

Tuesdays.  Plastic and glass bottles go in blue recycle bins; newspapers and other paper

Items go in yellow bins.  Please use kitchen sink disposal unit for your food scraps to

pruning, sprinklers, street lights, etc.) is performed by POA personnel, with costs coming from

either the POA or specific condo association budget.  If you see a problem requiring
