WELCOME TO WILDLIES
Author can state --> This community is located at the intersection of I-95 an SR-200 in Yulee Florida.
Not hard to figure out the name of this place but this is why this site is indirect? Because this location has some kind of protected trademark to the name. Building a location and then protecting the literal name is just insane but the developer was smart -- they control messaging I guess - which forces the use of a different word

Important Information for Buyers and Residents in the community
Wild Lie is a watchdog website dedicated to create transparency of a Home Owner Association (HOA) in Yulee Florida. The mission of this site is to inform. Future buyers and the current residence may wish to know about the obfuscation (lack of transparency) and the continual gaslighting experienced in this community. With an HOA that you have to agree; you may wish to know whom you are giving legal authority to and the surrogates like the HOA Management company CCMC
A commonly misquoted statement Marie Antoinette "LET THEM EAT CAKE" which was (link). She never said this but it is still an understood perspective of how royalty disrespect the commoner or the peasant class.
If you are planning to come here - know what you are getting into
If you live here and experience this, please contact us. We want to know and report on where you have these challenges because your story has no way to get out with the level of draconian management that exists as of 2025.
It is attempted to have some cynical and humor in this site because - well, need to laugh at the pain of it all.
Eventual Hope of this site
While I think there is a toxic environment here now, I hope this can be changed. If that change does occur, this site still remains as a reminder to others what CAN happen in a community if you allow TOXIC in. Also, this site is intended to help navigate the information better than what HOA Management (CCMC) is providing. There are all kinds of details missing as per the author's attendance to the last (2025) HOA Resident Annual Meeting. I will hunt that data and provide it to help keep this community better informed. Better informed yields better decisions.
Site Layout
- Site explains all the different roles and organization of the HOA, the Board and its' affiliates to include other governing bodies around this community
- Site has a section on Communications Review. This is assessment and inputs on HOA provided documents and meetings (minutes). Why? Because Minutes often stored and provided are not "complete" and obfuscate some of the communications that is happening. Additionally, things sent by HOA (direct or by HOA management) often have no explanation of impacts to the community or HOA membership - it is just a grenade of information that might affect the HOA membership/residence without clarity of who is affected, how they are affected, what you need to do next, who you contact, etc... because it is more fun for you to get hit with violations and then search for accurate process, information or assistance to remedy the violation or concern
- About: this general contact and why this site was built
- Blog: stories and use cases exemplifying the stellar job HOA and HOA Management company CCMC are doing here (sarcasm intended)
- Governance Review: evaluation of the piecemeal communications of governance changes and evaluation of the governing documents so a common reader (HOA community member) might understand how this "governing body" will use these rules to push you around
Here is the interesting thing:
- This HOA (and the developer) built all these rules and traps. I am literally just calling things out where SELECTIVE ENFORCEMENT is a common occurrence and an acceptable practice
- The members serving - I am only calling out the interests they express in discussions to show what they are concerned about so the HOA community members are aware of who is steering this ship
- The members qualifications - only stating what I see of "qualified" like these hokey community management certifications that sound impressive with letters after a name. Spoilers, not impressive education at all. Also, those added to committees or elected positions - you wont know if they are qualified in any way. They just get named, might put up a paragraph of who they are (e.g. Hi, I lived in NY, married, 2 kids, a dog named pickles... vote for me!) if you get anything at all. In the last March 2024 meeting - Covenant Committee added member - just knew his first name vs the lady who was not selected. No idea why anyone is qualified or you want this entity voting to fine you (HOA Community member) but that's how it works.
He Who Shall Not Be Named: Why not say the name of this place?
I wish to at least explain this weird requirement. Based on the HOA "governing documents" it is not clear to the author of this website what can be publicly stated or used.

As the HOA governing documents are behind a login / password for members and within the HOA Charter there are direct statements around this community name being a protected word (trademark or patent, something like that). I will have to mask information until I can find public records - accountability is deserved but not trying to DOX or do anything illegal.
I think I can name the Developer through public records but want to check before I do that. With this constraint it is safe to say (by use of Public Records) this Developer intents to financially harvest this area with many new houses (maybe another thousand) and the community will be 5 "districts"

This whole thing is very confusing - making a word illegal to use - I am not a lawyer but here is my point
I will post my drivers license record that uses this FORBIDDEN word because it is a legal state document... I can't see where this can be attacked by the Developer or HOA and their minions. -- I am literally DOXXING myself (kind of)
This Developer trademarked this word. Check public record in Sunbiz. They use this as a City name on every board member. Last I checked, a trademark can't stand as protected when you make it a public record like an actual US City (USPS legal requirement, State of Florida legal condition). This developer legally trademarked something (a word) that they are also now classifying as CITY in the United States (see drivers license) which means when they want to enforce this trademark it will get very interesting for the US Attorney's or State Attorney's office.
Example: So, lets say you have a business Joes Handyman of Ocala and that the word "Ocala" is trademarked. We have a private corporation/interest now allowed to determine what is allowed by this business and not a determination by the CITY of OCALA? If this Private Company (developer) does not like something that "Joes Handyman of Ocala" says or does they can enforce the trademark on this business to remove it from that business name. Would we allow this if it was China? If we had a country like China command the use of a word that identifies a US City there would be an uproar around US Citizen rights. May get interesting if we get into a fight about this super secret protected word that this Private Company (developer) has trademarked. I can understand if this were the name of a type of shoes or a trinket but they have literally trademarked a geographic location that is publicly and officially (State Documents) referenced. I hope no one in the Nassau County leadership says anything sideways if they have any business connections to this super secret word or it could be real expensive to that council member (government official) if they toe the line that this Private Company (Developer) thinks is the direction that elected official should be voting. Nah, that is conspiratorial. I mean, that would never happen, right? A public official being blackmailed to do the bidding of a company is just not something that has every happened.

HOA up and coming

4/29/25: Update: HOA Management has emailed to the HOA residents - the Founders (a.k.a. the untouchables) have unilaterally changed the Residential Charter with new guidance / governance "regarding the installation of fences and drainage easements."
This is moved to the the Governance Review section with date of this "amend the charter" notification to HOA residents - HERE
LET THEM EAT CAKE!!!!

4/24/2025: During the HOA Board Meeting there was a list of the possible violators (covenants) - those in RED FONT where the only addresses moved forward in the "process" to be "fined"
Okay campers - I didn't write these rules - just trying to interpret them. No one can answer questions on what this process is but we will just keep using this word PROCESS because it makes the HOA and the supporting staff feel all kind of professional and official

- 483 Blue Daze Street

- 358 Sweetgum Street
- 363 Sweetgum Street
- 324 Salt Meadow Loop

*** the end state of this meeting held 4/24/2025 is that these address of the owners listed in RED FONT will pay a fine starting at around $25 per day
...Of the three addresses on the list -- Daydream is pretty bad - though there is a piece you cant see. What piece? Communications. When this was discussed in the HOA Board meeting the statements by HOA Manager were that they communicated with the people who live there... and there is something in the discussion maybe this is a renter? Can't get in touch with the Owner? I don't know - need to go check my notes. What's my point? This is a summary of what was said
- HOA Manager: We communicated to (garbled statement on what was done)
- HOA Board Member: [question]
- HOA Management/Manager: something...something... owner... something...something.. renter... something..something
- HOA Board Member: [clarification questions]
- HOA Manager: and you can fine as much as you want based on what rules you just passed (which no HOA Member has seen in any proposal) - you dont have to just limit this to $1000 cap for any of the daily fines
- HOA Board : Vote - passed - lets do $25 per day from (who knows what date)
So, HOA LITERALLY will fine this address for conditions they don't like - to the total of $1000. Wait! The HOA Manager was really excited on this one.... So HEY You Guys!!! You just voted for new enforcement rules and you don't have to stop at $1000 -- you voted where it is UNLIMITED .
Personal Note: it would cost me $100 to pay my lawn guy to go clean it up. I may go knock on their door and talk with whomever lives here - find out how to get in touch with the owner if they are a renter. This whole thing is stupid and the HOA has their panties in a bunch because the focus is that YOU RESIDENTS WILL MEET what this HOA is telling you to do. NOT a focus on "effective communications" or any evidence that suggested communications was provided to a responsible owner
MISSION STATEMENT SNIPPED FROM CCMC: " Partnership and communication are key components of achieving our mission and purpose. We encourage residents to share their experiences on where we’re excelling and how we can improve. To learn more"
So we will tackle someone for $100 problem and charge them (up to) $1000 but that changed now to UNLIMITED. But we won't show or demonstrated evidence that the people involved are the right people (owner), the right people even have this concern in front of them - instead we will just assume they do. Yeah, let's skip all that - the HOA Manager said we did, but lets not check and verify that. Let's vote to fine them because these are bad actors!!! AM_I_RIGHT?!!!!
I wish this HOA management company had this much energy on responding to what is asked of them as they do running this UNLIMITED new voted rule to the Board when making a decision on fining the HOA residents. Reference the BLOG for "Dred of Shed" to see how much energy was put into response of some very detailed questions to understand why a Lawyer's EMAIL was the first time I knew there was an issue
NEW ACTION ON THIS TOPIC
5/9/2025: Email from HOA management, in a news letter, states that the HOA COVENANT COMMITTEE will be meeting May 22, 2025 regarding the addresses on the list (3 in red font from above) and will "Review violations to approve or reject violations imposed by the MASKED-COMMUNITY-NAME Residential Association’s Board of Directors on April 24, 2025
5/11/25: Independent Investigation
Took the time to drive around the neighborhood to review all these accusations put forward where the three HOA fined homes just to see what the surrounding area/homes look like. Will take a bit of time to put together with the photographs and review in accordance with HOA Governance rules for this specific list of addresses. I will state each of the listed are in some degree of noncompliance. Some are mulch concerns but others direct conflict with governance on the color of mulch allowed. Not just weeds because that is just stupid by itself. Weeds can get you if you are away and trust a lawn service that doesn't do what you asked. Mulch the wrong color - that is just the owner or resident doing it in flagrant violation. The houses on the FIRING LINE - they are all just weeds and some on REFRESH of Mulch (not wrong color like other addresses I show below)
Side note to consider: the HOA Resident director is my next door neighbor - this guy LITERALLY measured my allowance of 5ft on the side of my house (See: Blog - Trash(y) Character) -- I was wondering. Maybe he will go to every one of these houses and break out the ruler for the 3 inches requirement!!! I doubt it, but he was also very interested in how often HOA Management does drive by to check on these houses and then a follow up discussion point (March 2025?) in the HOA Board meeting on what to do if it is after hours or not in the window of when HOA management is out checking on the HOA residents. He may have been happy to hear from HOA President that the expectations is that he can report those folks. So, there you are. The focus of the HOA Board in action and discussion. I digress... will read out this spot check performed
Wrong color Mulch didn't seem to get on anyone's radar at HOA or HOA management company. Weird that this does not cross any HOA team "threshold" of concern.
Will have guess why they are "not wrong" or we can consider this SELECTIVE ENFORCEMENT conditions that happens here at WILDLIES
- Maybe some of these HOA residents have the "protection" of this HOA Resident Director - like all the ones shown on Sawgrass Drive. I mean this guy runs up and down the street to talk to someone
- Maybe CCMC is incompetent - - Maybe CCMC needs to go to YouTube to get some training? It is free so maybe you can go try to search how to manage a community and meet your mission statement? - HERE
- Maybe they are on some watch list not seen
For this next section - I need some time to finish what is posted in this list. I will build a document that can be downloaded with details and I will change this section with an update summary when I can. I work about 50 to 70hrs a week and I don't have all the free time my neighbor seems to have (HOA Resident Director) and/or this awesome and lauded CCMC staff (by HOA Board members). I want you to remember -- this CCMC organization is paid to do this type of "oversight." With a two hour drive I can find more reality in what is being stated, show more transparency, and if I get out of my truck and knock on the door of three home owners - I bet it could all be solved for about $200 to $300 in about a week.
With the free time I DONT have - I am betting I can provide more evidence and information than this "awesome" CCMC staff to inform the community (remember or read other sections how the HOA Board gave all these kudos to CCMC - HOA Management). I feel it necessary because there needs to be a counter balance (level set) to being fed crap and being told to just swallow it.
HERE IS WHAT YOUR BOARD IS REALLY DOING: Nah! Here is what we will do instead - we will take crap information from HOA management, pursue home owners, charge them maybe $3000 in fines (max) and maybe we can put liens on the house based on the CRAP INFORMATION as spewed from the lips of HOA Manager (and this Awesome CCMC company). Yeah, that makes more sense. Let's go beat the crap out of someone based on a NON-EVIDENCE statement at a meeting where we (HOA Board) didn't even knock on the door and talk to the people who lived there. We can spitball in the meeting who we think lives there, if they are a renter, if they got the memo or the message - and then just fine them.

Well I'm sorry your upset at one thing in all this. I'll talk to the contractor to finish the job. If that's what you take away from the site (with some research efforts to find my specific property) I think that's a simple issue I can control. The HOA communications or some stakeholders that have some concerning focus to push residents around and obfuscate. I'll continue to add "rants" because that poor condition are a risk to residents who have no voice to counter that bad condition. I'll have my property corrected to what it should be. I agree, I'm unhappy with the condition of that project. I'll post the final update in a few weeks. I'm hopeful the character attacks on the site owner are not a continual focus. The site is built to build a vehicle to allow residents to get thier story out when that have bad experiences with HOA . Otherwise the proposed bullying will continue
It’s not hard to figure out. You list your neighbor by address in your rant about everyone’s mulch and landscaping and that he is on the board. We bought here to have nice houses with nice yards and good property values. Most people in here want that too. You should look at other trash can barriers. I can’t believe you paid someone for that quality.
I've not received feedback. Sorry for the typo
Thanks for the feedback Toby. I've not posted my specific house, site is intended to communicate HOA oversight concerns. If you did find the right house and care to recommend what would be acceptable to us I'll happily try to improve the conditions. Feel free to knock on my door if this current build troubles you. Additional, the contractor had to pivot to meet hoa demands and is not completed what we asked to accomplish with the trashcan run gate (finalize the project). I find discussion on standards, expectations may be a better way to approach conflict resolution. Again, pure assumption your worried about the right house. I'll ask the contractor to finalize the gate to my expectations just in case this concerns others. I've not recurve any feedback until your post
A neighbor told me about your site. We live in Wildlight so I started looking around. You should be ashamed of your own house and take responsibility for your own home. Your trash pavers and enclosure are an embarrassment to the neighborhood and you have crap all over. You can see it all right from the side walk. Disgusting. Get over yourself.
