Communicating with the HOA Board:

Any question or concern directed at the Solimar HOA Board needs to go through the proper channels. Communicating with the Board can be done through in any of the following ways:

  • In writing to the main Solimar HOA Board email address: [email protected]
  • In writing through this website's “Contact Us” page: https://www.solimarhoa.com/p/Contact-Us
  • In writing to the Solimar HOA Board USPS mailbox (checked only once a month)
  • Or in person at any of the monthly Solimar HOA Board meetings

Most emails sent to the Board will be responded to, by the Solimar Secretary, within a matter of days for responses with which there is already clear precedent and/or readily available facts and information. When there are questions and/or concerns of which there is no precedent or no readily available clearly defined facts and/or information, the Solimar President, may need to respond.

If your questions and/or concerns go unanswered some options are reviewing the Solimar HOA monthly Board minutes: https://www.solimarhoa.com/p/Minutes-2025-2026 or showing up to a monthly Board meeting. If an owner wants the entire board to comment on an particular issue, the homeowner will need to attend the next board meeting.

Note: There is a Solimar Facebook group, however this is NOT managed by the Board, and should NOT be considered an official form of communications with the Board.

Non-Compliance and Enforcement Policy:

Maintaining community standards protects property values for all residents. While the majority of homeowners are compliant, consistent follow-through is necessary.

When a homeowner fails to complete required maintenance or remediation despite receiving violation letters, the matter must be escalated. In these cases of continued non-compliance with the Association’s covenants and official communications, the homeowner's account will be referred to the Association's legal counsel for enforcement action.

We encourage all homeowners to promptly address any compliance reminders received to avoid the expense and complication of legal enforcement.

Safety and Security Reminders:

Sidewalk Use

The Solimar sidewalks were repaired in 2021. For the safety of all residents, please use the sidewalks when walking around the neighborhood. Walking in the streets of Solimar Circle significantly decreases safety for pedestrians and drivers alike.

Individual Carriage Lights

The individual homeowner carriage lights (the outdoor light fixtures on both sides of your garage) are not legally required to be kept on all night. However, keeping these lights turned on throughout the night can significantly improve safety and security for each of our homes, vehicles, and residents. Thank you for participating in this neighborhood security effort.

Fireworks Policy

Fireworks are a significant safety hazard and nuisance to the community.

Fireworks endanger our Solimar community, individual homes, persons, and property. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) notes that fireworks are linked to devastating burns, injuries, and fires . Fireworks started an estimated 19,500 fires in 2018, including 1,900 structure fires, 500 vehicle fires, and 17,100 outside and other fires.

Legal Definition and Restrictions

  • Definition: Florida law defines fireworks as any "combustible or explosive composition or substance or combination of substances…prepared for the purpose of producing a visible or audible effect," including firecrackers and Roman candles.
  • Legal Discharge Days: According to Florida state law, fireworks may only be legally lit on three days during the year: the Fourth of July, New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day. Note that some cities and towns may have further restrictions.

To File a Complaint

To report illegal fireworks or other code violations, you may contact Palm Beach County Code Enforcement directly:

Pool Safety

The Keep Your Eyes on the Kids Project is a drowning prevention program that originated in Arizona and now exists in Florida.

This program designates one adult responsible for closely supervising children playing in and around the pool, spa, or any body of water for a specific period. The individual acting as the supervisor is identified with a visual marker, such as a "water watcher tag." This tag is simply a lanyard worn by the designated adult that clearly signifies he or she is responsible for supervising children's activities at the facility.

The individual formally transfers the lanyard, along with the supervising responsibility, to another person at the end of the period to ensure constant watchfulness.

The Power of the Water Watcher Tag
The water watcher tag (or any other obvious marker) is a powerful tool because:

  • It designates responsibility: It officially assigns one adult to watch the children. Many times, adults assume that someone else is supervising, when, in fact, no one is actively watching them.
  • It enforces transition: It reminds the designated "water watcher" that they must officially turn over the supervising responsibility to another adult through the physical transfer of the lanyard.

Adding a whistle to the lanyard provides an extra measure of safety, as it quickly draws attention to the situation and alerts individuals who may be some distance away.
