Pool cage rescreening in Tuscawilla
Tuscawilla is the largest cage market in Winter Springs by a wide margin: 1,023 improved residential parcels, 770 pools and 660 recorded screen enclosures, built around the Joe Lee-designed Tuscawilla Country Club course. Homes here run 1976–2023 with a median of 1984; the cages themselves median 1988, so a typical original Tuscawilla enclosure is now around 38 years old.
A country-club PUD, and what its age means for the cage
Tuscawilla was recorded across a long run of plats — Tuscawilla Unit 05, PB 20 PG 18, through Unit 14B, PB 37 PGS 6-10 — reflecting a planned-unit development built out in phases through the 1980s. That phased build-out is why enclosure ages here vary by pocket even within one subdivision name, but the median (1988) sits squarely in the era that used plain steel self-tapping screws in the aluminium extrusion — see rust stains on cage screws and anchors for why that matters more than the mesh itself on a cage this age.
The Tuscawilla Lighting and Beautification District
Tuscawilla carries its own municipal special assessment district, created August 1999, which levied $36.00 per ERU on 4,200 parcels for Phase I plus $128.00 per ERU maintenance on 4,617 parcels in FY23/24. A third area, the Tuscawilla Phase III Assessment Area, covers Hawks Reserve. This is a city taxing district, not an HOA, and it does not regulate screen colour, mesh type or cage height.

Tuscawilla questions
How old are most Tuscawilla pool cages?
The appraiser’s CAMA records put Tuscawilla homes at a median build year of 1984 and enclosures at a median of 1988 — meaning the typical original cage here is roughly 38 years old. That is past the published 8–15 year service-life range for screen mesh several times over.
Is there an HOA rule about screen colour in Tuscawilla?
No covenant documents were located through public search. The Tuscawilla Lighting and Beautification District that appears on tax bills is a municipal special assessment district, not an HOA, and does not regulate screen colour or mesh type.
