⁉️ FAQs (Frequently asked questions)
Who Owns the Grantham E Building, Surrounding Grass, and Parking Lot?
The Grantham E property, along with the adjacent grass and parking lot, is divided into 72 shares (one proportional share per unit) and is owned collectively by all the condominium owners, members of Grantham E Condominium Association Inc.
What are my condo association fees for my unit type, and when do I need to pay them?
For a one-bedroom unit, the Association’s monthly assessment for 2026 is $310.88.
For a two-bedroom unit, the Association’s monthly assessment for 2026 is $363.63.

CVE Master Management has installed electric vehicle chargers within CVE. Users are required to pay a user fee at the charger.
How do my voting rights work in the condo association?
In the Grantham E Condominium Association Inc, each unit has one vote. If a unit has two or more owners, they must select one owner to cast the vote for that unit. Declaration Art. 8.7
What restrictions do the condo documents place on how I can use my unit?
Restricted to residential use as a single-family residence. No more than two unrelated persons or two or more related persons by blood, marriage, civil union or adoption. One occupant must be 55 years of age. Children under 18 years of age are prohibited from permanently residing in the unit but may visit and reside temporarily for a period not to exceed 30 days in total per calendar year. Decl. Art 9.1. Smoking and animal restrictions are addressed further down in this FAQs.
What restrictions exist in the condominium document on the leasing of my unit?
You are not permitted to rent out your unit during the first 24 months of ownership. After those two years, you are permitted to rent it once per year, for a minimum of three months and up to 12 months. If you rent for six months or less, the Tourist Development Tax applies.
Sub-renting or renting out parts of your unit (such as a bedroom) is not permitted. Advertising on Airbnb or any other digital platform for short-term leases is also strictly prohibited. Decl. Art. 12.1 b.
Do I need to join any other associations? If yes, which ones and what are the fees?
If you own a property in Grantham E, Century Village East (CVE), you will be required to pay monthly fees to CVE Master Management for services such as gates, fences, lakes, roads, streetlights and security. There is also a fee to Cenclub for access to recreational facilities, including the clubhouse, pools, paddle courts and parks. Please verify the current monthly fees with them.
How can I get involved in managing and caring for the property without being on the Board?
We encourage all owners to participate in the property’s activities. Here are five ways you can contribute without being on the Board:
- Attend meetings and participate in social events.
- Volunteer to become a Director on COOCVE.
- Actively volunteer on Committees, assisting with events, projects or tasks assigned by the Board.
- Lend a hand with a specific event, project or task.
- Share your thoughts and suggestions with any Board Director to help make Grantham E an even better place to live.
How can I file a complaint?
Most issues arise from minor matters and can be resolved amicably between neighbours without the intervention of a Board Director. We encourage owners to communicate with one another to find common ground and resolve disputes. If a problem persists or a solution cannot be reached, it may be necessary to involve the Board, but only if it relates to the Governing Documents, By-Laws and Rules. For more serious matters that extend beyond a friendly discussion or negotiation, the Board may request a formal written complaint from the person raising the issue to support any legal action that may follow.
Any current court cases involving the condo association?
At this time (January 2026), Grantham E is not involved in any court cases.
Is the condominium created within a portion of a building or within a multi-parcel building?
Grantham E Condominium Association Inc. was established as part of a multi-parcel building. It encompasses the entire structure, including the surrounding areas such as the parking lot, grassy spaces and exits, all based on the developer’s 1976 survey.
Do I need to let the Board know before renovating my unit?
Yes, you will need to notify the Board and obtain written approval by completing and submitting an Architectural Review Application form to the Grantham E Architectural Review Committee before commencing any renovation projects. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Kitchen and bathroom remodels
- Demolishing walls or altering the floor plan
- Plumbing work such as replacing water heaters, toilets, sinks and tubs
- Electrical changes including electric panels and air conditioning units
- Installing doors, windows, hurricane shutters or enclosing balconies
- Mold remediation (such as drywall removal)
Additionally, you must hire a Florida-licensed and insured contractor and obtain a permit from the City of Deerfield Beach before commencing any work, including demolition. Failure to obtain the appropriate permits for these projects can result in significant financial and/or legal consequences.
For these projects, only written Board approval is required:
- Installing hard surface flooring on the second, third and fourth floors
- Installing communication dishes or devices
- Changing the front door lock
Interior redecorating, such as changing curtains, furniture, picture frames, or even applying a fresh coat of paint or wallpaper, does not require Board notification or a permit.
If you have any questions, please contact any Board Director for guidance.
When and where should I put out my bulk items?
Please place bulk items on Tuesday evening each week for pickup the following day on Wednesday. Ensure they are placed in the No Parking zone directly in front of the garbage tower on either side of the building. Arrange your items neatly on the pavement, keeping them clear of parking spaces and nearby vehicles. Do not place items on the grass, the ramp leading to the dumpsters or in front of the garage door.
Additionally, please refrain from storing bulk items in the open area of the storage room or any other location on the property while awaiting pickup. It is best to keep them inside your unit until the next scheduled Wednesday pickup.
What are the smoking rules around the property?
The Grantham E owners have clearly chosen to enjoy a smoke-free environment, as outlined in the Condominium Documents. Therefore, smoking is not permitted inside, including inside units or near the building. However, smokers are welcome to smoke across from the Grantham E parking lot. During social events such as our barbecues, we kindly suggest smokers step away from the crowd to maintain a comfortable atmosphere for everyone.
What are the guidelines for animals on the property?
Generally, pets or animals are not permitted on the property. However, service and support animals are welcome by law. Owners must notify the Board prior to bringing the animals on the property and provide the following documents:
For service animals:
- A medical letter confirming the need for a service animal
- A photograph of the animal
- Proof of up-to-date vaccinations
- Certification proving the animal is trained to provide the service
For support (or companion) animals:
- A medical letter confirming the need for a support animal
- A photograph of the animal
- Proof of up-to-date vaccinations
Exotic or wild animals are never permitted. Additionally, any approved service or support animals must be under their owner’s control at all times and could be evicted if they cause nuisance or trouble for others.
Do I actually own my parking spot and/or storage cage?
Unlike a condo unit, you do not own your parking space or storage cage in the same way. They are considered limited common elements, meaning all owners share ownership but are reserved solely for your use.
Who’s allowed to park in the white spaces 1010 to 1017?
These eight parking spaces are the additional Grantham E spaces reserved for owners. They are painted white to prevent unauthorized vehicles from using them to access other buildings, the nearby park, courts or the clubhouse.
Guest parking rules apply here. You may direct your expected guests to park in these spaces or use them yourself if your regular parking space is occupied by a second authorized vehicle. Please ensure you adhere to the 30-day parking limit. Vehicles cannot be left parked and unused for more than 30 consecutive days in any guest parking spot.
For unexpected guests or visitors, Grantham E still has 14 yellow guest parking spaces available on the south side of the property.
Please note that no owner has exclusive rights to any specific guest or extra parking space, and none of these spots are assigned to individual owners.
