Q: Can my HOA require me to pressure wash during the water shortage?

No. The order bars HOAs from enforcing standards that require pressure washing while restrictions are in effect.

Water Restrictions & Pressure Washing in Sarasota & Manatee: What's Actually Legal in 2026

Short version: the region is under a SWFWMD Modified Phase III water shortage order (Sarasota County lists it running through October 1, 2026). Aesthetic pressure washing is limited — but pressure washing in preparation for painting or sealing is explicitly allowed, and that's exactly what paver cleaning & sealing is.

What the order actually says

Allowed: pressure washing in preparation for painting and sealing.
Limited: general (aesthetic) pressure washing — Manatee County's guidance describes a once-per-year allowance per surface.
HOA rule: no HOA or community may enforce standards that require pressure washing during the order.
Enforcement: counties are citing violations without warning (minimum $100 fine).
