1. How much are the HOA fees in Sun City Peachtree?

As of 2025, the annual HOA fee is $3,084, which breaks down to $257 per month. There is also a one-time $1,275 initiation fee due at closing. These funds help maintain the neighborhood’s amenities, common areas, and overall community operations.
Note: HOA dues, fees, and initiation costs are subject to change. Prospective buyers should confirm all current fees with the seller, their agent, or HOA management prior to purchasing a home.

2. What do the HOA fees cover?

HOA fees are used to cover the operation, maintenance, repair, and insurance of the Common Areas, including amenities like walking trails and recreational facilities. Fees also fund rule enforcement, administrative costs, and long-term reserve planning.

3. Can I rent out my home in Sun City Peachtree?

Yes, homes can be rented. However, homeowners are responsible for their tenants’ actions. If a tenant violates community rules, the HOA may require the owner to remove the tenant.

4. Are pets allowed?

Yes, with limits. Homeowners may keep up to three dogs or cats in total, and no more than two birds. Other typical small pets are allowed in reasonable numbers. However, monkeys, pigs, snakes, and ferrets are not permitted. Pets must not roam freely, cause disturbances, or pose a threat.

5. Can I paint or modify the exterior of my home?

Only with prior written approval from the HOA’s Modifications Committee. This includes any changes to the exterior appearance, landscaping, fencing, lighting, or structural additions. Unauthorized work may be removed at the owner’s expense.

6. Can I install a fence?

Fences are generally not allowed unless specifically approved by the HOA. Any fencing must meet strict community guidelines and requires prior written approval.

7. Are sheds or storage buildings allowed?

No. Detached structures such as sheds, storage buildings, or similar additions are not permitted unless specifically approved by the HOA.

8. What is the process for HOA approval on changes or improvements?

Homeowners must submit an application to the Modifications Committee. Approval is based on compliance with the Design Guidelines and overall aesthetic harmony of the community. Work started without approval may be deemed non-conforming and subject to removal.

9. Are there restrictions on parking or vehicles?

Yes. Boats, RVs, trailers, and commercial vehicles may only be parked in driveways for up to 48 hours within any 7-day period. All vehicles must be operational, legally registered, and cannot be stored in a way that detracts from the community’s appearance.

10. Is Sun City Peachtree a gated community?

Yes, it is a gated community. However, during the development period, access cannot be restricted in a way that interferes with the rights of the developer (Declarant).

11. Who maintains the landscaping?

Homeowners are responsible for maintaining their individual lots, including landscaping and appearance. The HOA maintains the Common Areas, but if a homeowner’s yard becomes unsightly, the HOA can intervene and bill the owner for maintenance.

12. Can I operate a business from my home?

No business or commercial activity is permitted if it causes increased traffic, noise, or visible disruption. Quiet home offices or remote work that do not affect the neighborhood’s character are typically acceptable, but storefronts or workshops are not allowed.

13. What happens if I break the HOA rules?

The HOA may impose fines, suspend amenity privileges, or require tenants to vacate if rules are violated. Homeowners are financially and legally responsible for violations — even those committed by guests or renters.

14. What is the process for selling a home?

Sellers must notify the HOA in writing of the intent to sell. The seller remains responsible for all HOA obligations until the HOA receives this notice. Additionally, the buyer must be provided a copy of the CCRs prior to closing.

15. Are there age restrictions?

Yes. Sun City Peachtree is a 55+ age-restricted community. At least one permanent occupant of each home must be 55 years or older. Some limited exceptions apply to buyers over 50 who purchased directly from the developer.
