Welcome to the Caribe Colony Association website! Here you can find news and information about our neighborhood. 

The Caribe community Association, Inc. was organized exclusively for the improvement, development, and maintenance of Caribe Colony Addition and was incorporated with the State of Indiana in 1965.

Common Area Usage

As a reminder, the common areas around the clubhouse, pond, and playground are for dues paying residents only. 

People using this area need to be cleaning up after themselves and being respectful of the grounds and other residents who have houses adjacent to the area. 

For the safety of our community and to comply with neighborhood insurance policies, personal fires are absolutely not permitted in common areas. The only exception is the scheduled association bonfire in the fall.

Unauthorized fires will result in the loss of area privileges and may be subject to legal action and/or fines by the association. We appreciate your cooperation in keeping our neighborhood safe.

Renter Residents

Residents who rent their home will not be allowed to use neighborhood amenities if their landlord is not current on association dues. It is the renter's responsibility to:

1. Provide the association with their landlord's current contact information; and

2. Remind their landlord that association dues are due annually and must be paid to maintain access to neighborhood amenities.

Failure to meet these responsibilities may result in suspension of amenity access until the landlord's account is brought current.

Please Leash & Clean Up After Your Dogs!

Animal waste left in public areas and in neighborhood yards is a familiar complaint. And, while your neighbors might enjoy seeing your dog, they do not enjoy seeing what he leaves behind. Here is a reminder from the city of Fort Wayne. Sanitation law requires citizens to remove animal feces immediately from public lands and from the property of another.If you encounter an on-going problem concerning sanitation, report the concern to Animal Care & Control at 260-427-1244. If at all possible, a timely photograph of an owner allowing their dog to leave feces behind in your yard has been known to result in a timely $50 citation. 

Not all dogs like other dogs, just because your dog is friendly doesn't mean the dog they are running up on is. You can avoid a potential fight by keeping your dog on a leash while you walk through the neighborhood. According to Fort Wayne Animal Care & Control officials, fines of $50 - $2,500 per offense per day can be imposed for violations to the City Animal Care Ordinance.  All dogs and all cats must be under the physical control of the owner or attendant by leash when off the owner's property. This includes walking a dog through any city park or letting your dog outside to stretch his legs and do his business. If your yard is not fenced, you’ll need a good leash.
