New Owners

Welcome home to your new community!

After purchasing a home in Riverwood, there are a few tasks you will need to complete so you can have full access to the community.

1. The day you close, you will need to submit the following paperwork to the RCA Office either in person or via fax/email:

A copy of your Warranty Deed
Your Resident Information Form - Click HERE for this form *
Online Voting Consent - Click HERE for this form *
New Service- Water/Sewer RCDD Form- Click HERE*

*We will not accept these forms without the Warranty Deed.

You can drop these off at the office or call us at (941) 764-6663 for more information. Once you are here in person, you will receive a Welcome Packet with helpful information.

2. Once all your new homeowner documents are entered into our system, the gatehouse will be alerted that you are a new resident. Once your information is entered, you can stop by the gatehouse with your personal vehicle and registration where staff will place the RFID gate sticker on your windshield. If you are in a rental, they will not be able to issue you a RFID gate sticker.

Your photo will also be taken for your New Access Card to enter the pool and the 24-Hr fitness center doors. They are both on magnetic locks and will only open with the card.

Please Note: you can pick up gate access stickers and access card by visiting the main entrance gatehouse Mondays 7am to 1pm and Thursdays 7am to 1pm.

3. Lastly, you will receive an email with your login and password to access the Riverwood Community website along with login instructions and helpful phone numbers.

Leasing Your Property

An Owner has the right to lease their property in Riverwood in accordance with the Declaration of Covenants, the Neighborhood Supplemental Declaration and the laws of Charlotte County and the State of Florida.

Prior to the Lessee taking possession of the property, the owner must complete the RCA Lease Notification Form and attach a copy of the lease. There is a $25 processing fee which covers the Vehicle Gate Pass. Once the form is filled out, you can drop the form and lease off at the office or call us at (941) 764-6663 for more information on how to submit these documents via email or US Mail.

The owner must also provide the Lessee with copies of the Covenants and Policies and Rules for Riverwood. Further, the Owner does not have a right to use the Riverwood Facilities during the period of the lessee's occupation of the owner's property.

The covenants in our neighborhoods state the duration of allowed lease periods. Review your supplemental declarations since renting for periods other than stated will result in fines.

Vehicle gate passes will be provided upon the completion of paperwork and fees have been paid. Gate passes are issued on are Monday 7 a.m. to 1 p.m and Thursday from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. and they cannot be issued to rental cars. Gate passes will expire on the lease end date and cannot be renewed without a new Lease Notification form and a copy of the new lease.

Approved Annual Tenants will receive e-mail newsletter and e-blasts from our office. Owners will need to forward them to short-term renters.
