A new home, new neighbors, and plenty to enjoy. Use this practical checklist to get settled, arrange your services, and make more room for the pleasures of Century Village life.
Keep WPRF payments separate from association assessments. UCO does not collect WPRF payments.

Start with your building’s board or property manager.
Confirm purchase and occupancy approvals are complete and your association has the recorded deed or other required ownership evidence. Register every approved occupant and provide age-verification information requested for the community’s housing records. Keep your Certificate of Approval.
Request the declaration, amendments, bylaws, current rules, budget, assessment schedule, recent financial information and meeting notices. Ask UCO for its community welcome packet.
Confirm move-in hours, truck entry, elevator arrangements, loading areas, deposits and damage procedures. Get advance approval for any storage container; UCO’s guidance requires association approval for POD parking longer than one hour.
Get unit, mailbox, laundry and common-area keys or fobs that apply. Verify the assigned parking space and rules for a second vehicle, visitors, commercial vehicles and moving trucks. Ask before changing a lock that affects required emergency access.
Ask a licensed insurance agent about an HO-6 policy, personal property, interior improvements, liability, loss assessment, deductibles, temporary housing and flood coverage. Coordinate with the association’s master policy and any lender requirements; request the association’s coverage summary.
Arrange service dates so the home is ready when you arrive.
Arrange Florida Power & Light service for the possession date, confirm the exact service address and set up billing, alerts and your preferred payment method. Do not assume the seller’s account transfers to you. FPL start / stop / move service →
Ask your association whether water and sewer are included in assessments or require an individual utility account. If individually billed, confirm the provider and arrange a new account, deposit and start date. Do not open a duplicate account for a service already paid by the association. Palm Beach County Water Utilities →
Ask Breezeline what the community package includes, whether you need your own account, which equipment is assigned to your unit and how installation is arranged. Confirm extra charges before selecting upgrades. UCO lists Breezeline support at 855-777-3594. Do not assume the seller’s equipment or account becomes yours.
Test mobile reception inside your home. Arrange phone service if desired and confirm the registered emergency address for any internet-based phone. Ask about backup options if you depend on powered medical or communication equipment.
These credentials serve different purposes. Arrange each one you need.
Contact WPRF at 561-640-3120 and ask for the ID Office at the Main Clubhouse, 200 Century Boulevard. Confirm current hours, fees and required documents before visiting; ask about your deed, Certificate of Approval and government photo ID. Each eligible occupant should ask about their own credential.
After obtaining your CV ID, contact UCO at 561-683-9189, 2102 West Drive. Its published requirements call for your CV ID and current vehicle registration in the same name. Confirm current fees, installation arrangements and desk hours. Ask about leased, jointly registered or rental vehicles before visiting.
Ask UCO or security how to establish your own visitor call-in credentials, registered phone number and any available online access. Learn how to add and remove guests, caregivers, deliveries and contractors. Confirm what code or PIN you actually need; do not reuse the seller’s credentials.
Ask how you enter before your barcode is ready and what to do when it fails. Confirm procedures for overnight visitors, caregivers and emergency access. A visitor’s gate authorization does not itself grant WPRF recreation privileges; ask WPRF about guest credentials separately.
Ask WPRF how to obtain your own theater or recreation website access code, reserve activities and learn facility rules. This login may be separate from your association’s owner portal. West Palm Beach theater information →
Set up each payee separately and verify your first payments post.
Get written instructions from the association or manager: exact payee, account or unit reference, amount, due date and payment methods. Request your opening ledger and confirm closing credits, prorations, special assessments and any upcoming changes. Confirm who pays any remaining special-assessment installments.
Contact WPRF accounts receivable through 561-640-3120. Confirm your ownership account, current monthly obligation, first due date, closing adjustments and available payment methods. Arrange your own automatic payment if desired; the seller’s authorization does not transfer. Ask WPRF about payment obligations even when you are away or do not use facilities.
For each account, confirm when automatic payments start and whether you must make the first payment manually. Check the first statements and bank withdrawals. Update bank bill-pay amounts when charges change. Independently verify payment instructions using a known office contact.
Ask whether your association uses a private website, Vantaca or another management portal. Request your own invitation or password-reset link and confirm access to notices, documents, balances and maintenance requests. Use a unique password; do not share the seller’s login.
Provide your mailing address, seasonal address, phone, email, emergency contact and any authorized local representative. Ask about written consent for electronic notices, the official notice location, meeting schedules and any separate electronic-voting enrollment.
Save the deed, closing statement, approval paperwork, insurance, warranties, inspection report, payment instructions and useful contacts. Keep passwords, banking information and gate PINs in a secure place rather than on a public checklist.
A few early checks can prevent an expensive surprise.
Have the association or a qualified plumber identify your unit’s shutoff and any shared valves. Learn who may operate them. Save the building’s daytime and after-hours leak contacts; report active leaks immediately and avoid operating shared valves without authorization.
Arrange a qualified inspection of the water heater, supply lines, shutoff valves, under-sink connections, toilets and appliance hoses. Ask about the building’s water-heater policy, replacement expectations and suitable leak sensors or automatic shutoff protection.
Inspect filters, condensate drain and pan, thermostat and system condition. Set a maintenance schedule and obtain advice on humidity control, especially while away. Report signs of leaks or moisture promptly.
Check smoke alarms and any applicable carbon-monoxide alarms, batteries and expiration dates. Learn exit routes and locate the breaker panel. Ask a qualified professional to correct electrical or other safety concerns.
Ask which components the owner maintains and which the association handles. Before changing flooring, plumbing, electrical systems, windows, doors, shutters or air conditioning, confirm association approval, permits, licensed contractors, insurance and permitted work hours.
Read your own association’s current documents before inviting long-term guests, adding occupants, bringing animals or advertising a rental. Ask about required approvals, age verification, guest limits and accommodation request procedures where relevant.
Find out how laundry payment works and which machines serve your building. Confirm disposal locations and rules for recycling, furniture, appliances, hazardous items and renovation debris. Arrange bulky-item removal before placing items outside.
Learn current evacuation guidance, routes, shelters and building procedures. Arrange shutters, supplies, medicines, transportation and pet plans as needed. Ask the county about advance registration for a special-needs shelter if appropriate. For fire, medical emergency or immediate danger, call 911.
Give the association your away dates and emergency contacts. Arrange a trusted person to inspect the home, report leaks and provide permitted emergency access. Follow professional and association guidance for water, air conditioning, humidity and shutters; keep payment arrangements active.
Some tasks apply only to permanent residents or particular households.
Arrange USPS forwarding and update banks, insurers, healthcare providers, subscriptions and government benefit accounts. Confirm your mailbox number, key and delivery address. Notify the association and WPRF separately of billing-address changes.
Confirm the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser has your correct mailing address and ownership details. Confirm with your lender whether taxes are escrowed; if not, plan for direct payment. Do not use the seller’s tax bill as a reliable estimate of yours after purchase. Palm Beach County Tax Collector →
Homestead is for a qualifying permanent residence, not automatically every condominium or seasonal home. Eligibility is determined as of January 1; the regular filing deadline is March 1 for that tax year. If you become eligible January 1, 2027, plan to file by March 1, 2027. Ask the Property Appraiser about early filing, portability, other exemptions and late-filing options if needed. The seller’s exemption does not transfer to you. Eligibility and application →
If becoming a Florida resident, check the official new-resident requirements and deadlines for your circumstances. Update eligible voter registration separately. Seasonal and international owners should confirm their own requirements rather than assume all residency steps apply. Tax Collector new-resident guide →
Enroll in the Clerk’s free Property Fraud Alert service to receive notices of recordings that match your registration. An alert helps you monitor records; it does not prevent a fraudulent filing. Property Fraud Alert →
A little preparation leaves more time to enjoy your new home.
Keep your association, manager, after-hours maintenance, UCO, WPRF, utility and insurance contacts handy. Ask UCO for the current official contact sheet and visitor-system instructions.
Check UCO’s current bus routes, stops, schedules and riding rules. Locate shopping, pharmacy and medical appointments; arrange alternatives if you cannot drive. UCO schedules and updates →
Transfer prescriptions, identify local providers and confirm insurance networks. Make a plan for caregivers, medical equipment, power outages and anyone who may need to reach you in an emergency.
Find your association’s bulletin board and next meeting. Read the UCO Reporter, explore the clubhouse and ask about pools, fitness, classes, clubs and volunteer opportunities. Confirm guest rules and any separate registrations or charges.
Ask for the office and after-hours numbers, payment instructions and maintenance reporting process. Keep these with your home records.
Vehicle barcodes, gate-pass guidance and community services. Confirm office and barcode desk hours →
200 Century Boulevard. Ask for the ID Office or accounts receivable, depending on your task. Confirm hours and paperwork before visiting.
Community and service information checked October 24, 2026. Association-specific items are questions to confirm with your own board or manager, rather than a claim that every building follows one procedure.
This independent guide is educational information. Confirm eligibility, payment obligations, approvals, insurance and tax questions with the responsible office or qualified adviser.
