It is a private community, so the association’s documents matter as much as the address. - It is a **gated community governed by an association**, Stone Creek Ranch Homeowners’ Association, Inc., managed by GRS Community Management (Notes 1 and 4). - Wikipedia places it in the western part of Delray Beach, near the Boca Raton border, reached from Lyons Road between U.S. 441 and the Turnpike (Note 3). - The association’s page describes 37 estate lots of 2.5 acres or more on 187 acres, a manned gatehouse, a 1.5-mile promenade and a triple-arched bridge (Note 1). - Despite the word “Ranch” in the name, no source reviewed for this page states that the community has equestrian or agricultural use. Ask the association before you assume any use not in its rules. Whether the lots fall inside the City of Delray Beach or in unincorporated Palm Beach County was not verified here. Confirm the jurisdiction with the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser. ## Who sets the rules in Stone Creek Ranch? The homeowners’ association sets the community rules; the county and municipality set zoning and permits. - The association’s **architectural guidelines and application** are posted by its manager. Review them before you plan construction, renovation or a sport court (Note 1). - Quarterly assessments are due on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 and are late after the 15th of the month, according to the association’s page (Note 1). - Only a 2020 certificate of amendment to the declaration appears on the public documents page; the full declaration, bylaws and rules must be requested (Note 5). The association’s page does not mention a community development district. That is an absence of mention, not confirmation that no special taxing district applies. ## What should you check before buying in Stone Creek Ranch? | Check | Why it matters here | Source | |----------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------| | Governing documents and budget | Request the declaration and all amendments, bylaws, rules and the current budget.
