A Reminder About Replacement Property Owner Decals

With the bulk of this year’s property owner decal renewals now complete, we want to take a moment to remind the community of an important policy: vehicle decals are non-transferable.

If you sell, trade, or otherwise change vehicles, your existing decal cannot simply be moved to a new vehicle. Decals must be returned to the Community Connections Center in order to obtain a replacement. This policy helps ensure the integrity of our access program and keeps our records accurate for the benefit of all Sea Pines property owners. To request a replacement decal please visit driveseapines.com.

Tips from the Community Standards Department

The Benefits of Removing Pine Straw from Your Roof: While it may seem harmless, letting pine straw accumulate on your home can lead to a variety of problems. When fallen pine needles build up, they create a thick layer that traps moisture — which can penetrate your roof’s shingles, leading to rot and decay over time. Keeping your roof clear also improves the efficiency of your gutters and drainage system, ensuring rainwater is properly diverted away from your home. And of course, a debris-free roof simply looks better, giving your property a clean, well-maintained appearance that reflects well on the entire community. From preventing costly damage to improving curb appeal, taking the time to clear away pine straw is a worthwhile investment in the longevity and value of your home.

Community Standards Rules & Regulations, Landscaping Maintenance — Developed Property 4.2: “Roofs, gutters, driveways, and other hard surfaces shall be cleared of pine straw and other vegetative debris with reasonable frequency so that there is no accumulated buildup.”
