WaterColor Moving Logistics: HOA Rules & Access

October 16, 2025

You’re almost home. A little planning now will make your WaterColor move-in calm, compliant, and neighbor-friendly. Use this guide to schedule trucks, avoid tickets, and keep everything moving smoothly.

WaterColor parking basics

WaterColor prohibits street parking. No on-street parking means movers and delivery trucks must use your private driveway, a parallel parking pad, or a marked parking space. The community’s Parking Management Resolution outlines active enforcement and penalties for violations, including fines and towing. Review the WaterColor Parking Rules and Regulations.

Paid parking season and credentials

Seasonal paid parking runs March 1 through October 31 in designated Passport-managed areas like Town Center, Beach Club, and Camp WaterColor. The seasonal rate is $25 per transaction, and typical parking violations carry a $100 fine. Homeowners with HOA hangtags can park free in these zones. See WaterColor’s parking rules and credential details.

Where trucks can stage

Plan to stage moving trucks in your driveway or an approved pad. If a large truck will not fit, contact the HOA and Community Security in advance to identify acceptable alternatives. Time limits in Town Center lots are strictly enforced, especially during busy months. Parking rules are actively enforced.

Schedule movers and deliveries

Notify HOA and security early

Share your move date, vehicle count, and arrival window with the HOA office and Community Security. Ask for any address-specific guidance, especially if you’re moving into Town Center or a condominium building. You can find current contacts and hours here: Important phone numbers for WaterColor.

Condo and Town Center moves

Many condominium buildings require a service elevator reservation, protective coverings, a mover’s certificate of insurance, and sometimes a refundable deposit. Confirm your building’s move policy and any supervised access or walkthrough requirements. For an example of typical condo procedures, review this representative guide to move-in and elevator reservations.

Prep your movers

Tell your moving crew that street parking is not allowed, sidewalks and pathways cannot be blocked, and quiet hours apply. The community speed limit is 17 mph and pedestrian and bicycle traffic is heavy. Share your credential plan and have the team check in with Community Security on arrival. For speed and safety expectations, see this overview of WaterColor HOA rules.

Hangtags and guest passes

Request homeowner parking credentials ahead of time, and confirm any color-coded hangtag requirements for specific lots. New owners should coordinate hangtag pickup before move day. Learn about WaterColor parking hangtags and credentials.

Use the trolley and LSVs wisely

Trolley for people only

WaterColor’s free trolley is handy for shuttling family while the truck is staged, but it does not move furniture or packages. Set up the trolley app in advance and check seasonal hours. See trolley hours and rider rules.

Golf carts and registration

If you plan to use an LSV or rental golf cart during move-in week, confirm registration with the HOA and understand where credentials are required. Rental LSVs must follow community registration and parking rules. Parking rules outline LSV expectations.

Peak periods and best timing

WaterColor and the 30A corridor are busiest in spring and summer, peaking June through August and on major holiday weekends. Crowds and enforcement are tight during these times. When possible, plan weekday moves and avoid Saturday turnover days. For seasonal context, review this guide to the busiest months on 30A.

Quiet hours, safety, and courtesy

Respect community quiet hours from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. Keep walkways clear, and do not stage items in common areas. Remove boxes and packing debris promptly. Review curfew and quiet-hour details here: WaterColor Curfew & Quiet Hours.

Wildlife is active in this area. Avoid leaving food, trash, or packages unattended, and ask the HOA how to handle oversized debris that is not suitable for normal pickup. See WaterColor’s wildlife guidance.

Your move-in checklist

  • 3+ weeks before closing
    • Register with the HOA and request hangtags. Ask for your building’s move policy if you’re in Town Center or a condo.
