If you provide us with an email address, we will send you courtesy copies of the meeting agendas and other notices as they are published.  We will also send you an occasional email with information the Board feels important that you should have.

See the Home Page of the website for the date, time and location of the next meetings. The calendar also lists them. The meetings are held every third Monday of the month, even if it falls on a holiday. Notices and Agendas are emailed to owners who have given us their address. Agendas are also posted on the website and at the Beach entrance. Everyone is welcome to attend.

The membership meets in April of each year.

For household goods like furniture and appliances, you can put them at the curb but be sure to call the Village’s waste disposal contractor.  They will pick them up within five (5) days.  For the current number, see the brochure linked to the “Waste Collection” at the bottom of the Home page.

If other member’s cards are working and yours is not, individual ramp keys can be turned off and on by the Association. So, the first question is: Have you paid any outstanding fees, or have you been notified that it was turned off for any reason? Members whose accounts are delinquent may have their cards deactivated in accordance with our Covenants. In any event, contact the Association info@portantigua.net or call 305-664-8229 and leave a message.

Mail the Card Replacement Form to our Manager: Mari Joiner. Be sure you include the appropriate replacement fee.  If you have any questions, send an email to info@portantigua.net or call 305-664-8229.

Yes!  Port Antigua has been designated by the Village of Islamorada as a Golf Cart community, and the carts may be used on its streets.  Operators must have a valid driver’s license. Carts must be “street legal,” annually inspected by a certified mechanic and registered with The Village.  For your convenience a partial list of the Village rules are here.  For specific information, see the Ordinance  and be sure to download, complete, and turn in the Registration and Inspection Form.

Note that these requirements are different than the State licensing of golf carts as low speed vehicles (LSV).  Golf carts registered by the Village as described above may operate ONLY within Port Antigua and may not venture beyond El Capitan Drive.  Residential golf carts registered with the Florida Department of Motor Vehicles and displaying their issued Florida license plate are permitted to travel on roadways within this state with a posted speed limit of 30 mph or less.  This includes going past the No Carts sign affixed to the stop sign on Gulfview Dr at El Capitan Dr.

POPOA knows the Beach is an attractive venue for events. Unfortunately due to abuses in the past, the Beach is temporarily not available for organized functions.  If you are planning something, please contact us for a status update.  See the Beach Function Policy for details.

The Keys are part of a very sensitive environmental ecosystem and the water quality is very important to us. We routinely test the water in the canals. See the most recent letter from the Chair of the Water Quality Committee here.

Your lot number that we use can be found on all correspondence you receive from the Association and is the same one that is on the legal description in your deed filed with the Monroe County Clerk of the Court. The Monroe County Property Appraiser and the Tax Collector also list your lot number on their websites. Or you can check out the plat of Port Antigua.

Say something to them about it. It degrades the water quality and the carcasses float after a few days and are quite smelly. While throwing debris in the canals is against PAPOA rules  (Rule #6), Village Ordinances (Chapter 24, Section. 24-2) prohibits the disposal of refuse, of which carcasses are, in the waters of Islamorada. So, if they persist in tossing things in the canal, call the Sheriff’s Office at 305-853-3211.

If it is happening between 11pm and 7am, it is against PAPOA rules (Rule #1) so say something to them about it.  Village Ordinances (Chapter 18, Section. 18-63) prohibits noise disturbances within the Village. So, if they continue to cause a disturbance, call the Sheriff’s Office at 305-853-3211.

• Household Garbage is collected Tuesday and Friday
• Yard Waste is collected on Friday
• Recycle is collected on Friday
• Don’t put cans out until the day before scheduled pick up
• Get the cans off the street they day they are emptied
• Be sure the correct refuse is put in the correct can – if not, it won’t be picked up.
• Except for yard waste that may be bundled, be sure trash is in the cans – bags put next to the cans will not be picked up.

Please follow The Village guidelines for placement and removal of carts and cans from the curb.  This helps to cut down unnecessary stops picking up empty carts/cans, extends the life of the carts/cans and helps to make Port Antigua look neat, orderly and safer.

Islamorada Village Code, Chapter 46, Sec. 40 states that these carts/cans are to be put out by 7:00 AM on the scheduled pick up day but no earlier than the day before the pick-up.  The containers must be removed from the roadside by 8:00 PM on the collection day.

More information and scheduled days of pick-up can be found here.

Compliance is checked by The Village doing when they do “sweeps.” More information can be found on The Village website under Code Compliance. Advanced Disposal can give you more information. Call 305-853-3433.

Your neighbors may be able to help. Ask them. There are also services that will handle the chore for you. Some of the locally based yard waste companies also will ensure you don’t get fined.

Golf Carts are allowed by the Village to operate within the confines of Port Antigua.  They must be permitted by the Village and driven by a licensed person.  Click here for a summary of the rules.  To see the Village Ordinance, click here and for a copy of the permit application, here.

Sinking boats are heartily discouraged in the Port Antigua canals.  Should you see a vessel low in the water, and there is no one around, give SeaTow or TowBoatUS a call.  They are familiar with salvage ops and can safely dewater vessels.

The Association used to have three  submersible pumps available to our residents.  Due to liability concerns, the Board decided that the preferred solution was to involve one of the vendors listed above.

Iguana control is the responsibility of the lot owner. Iguanas are a problem throughout South Florida.  Since this problem is bigger than just PAPOA, we suggest you make your concerns known to local government officials. 

The Association contracts to have vacant lots mowed.  Lot owners can opt in to this service for a fee, billed annually at the same time the annual assessments are due. See the Fee Schedule for the current price of this service. If you are interested, send us an email or call (305) 664-8229 and leave a message.

Any construction in the neighborhood needs to be cleared with the Architectural Control Committee (ACC) and approved by the Board of Directors. Specific guidance can be found under the “Building and Architectural Control” Heading on this page which has links to our Covenants and Restrictions. To make it as easy as possible for our members, the ACC has developed a set of guidelines which can be found here. You may also find the Building Checklist helpful. All structures must have the appropriate permits from the Village, a copy of which should be provided to the Association.

Yes, email info@portantigua.net with your plans and the Architectural Committee will respond to you. See the Approvals Required for the details. All structures must have the appropriate permits from the Village, a copy of which should be provided to the Association.
