Access Swipe Card Information
The Ballantrae Community Development District manages all community-owned property in Ballantrae.
That includes the gated clubhouse and pool in the park, as well as its tennis and basketball courts. That also includes the gated pool in the Straiton Townhomes.
Click here to go to the CDD website for instructions on how to get photo ID swipe cards necessary to access these facilities.
The CDD gates those facilities for three reasons:
- First, to limit access to the CDD members who pay for them.
- second, to bar their use by members who refuse to follow the posted rules.
- Lastly, they are locked for security reasons during the nighttime hours when the facilities are closed.
Swipe cards are only available at the clubhouse. The resident homeowner/renter must be present when any household member requests a photo ID card. The resident landowner/renter accepts responsibility for actions by home card holders. The process of filling out an application and getting a card takes only a few minutes:
- Call the clubhouse (345-8565) to set an appointment or to ask questions about getting a card.
- Come to the clubhouse between 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. any day of the week and take “pot luck” if maintenance staff is available to process your card(s).
- Applications can be obtained online at the CDD website at ballantraecdd.org at the Clubhouse & Amenities tab at the end of the third paragraph.
The following categories of photo ID cards are issued:
- Adult residents (18 and older) who document home ownership or rental in Ballantrae.
- Adults that those owners/renters document reside with them (such as adult children),
- Adults that those owners/renters identify as caregivers to their minor child(ren) as described in the Caregiver form available at the clubhouse and online at the CDD website at ballantraecdd.org at the Clubhouse & Amenities tab at the end of the third paragraph.
- Minors between the ages of 13-17, for whom adult landowner/renter members document custody and request swipe cards.
The first two photo ID cards per member household resident are issued for free. Additional cards require pre-payment of a $5 fee. No “family" swipe cards are issued. Each resident age 13 and older must have their own, individual swipe card bearing their photo, name and address. Adults receive cards with a green box around their photo. A red box surrounds the photo on cards issued to minors (age 13-17). Nonresident adult caregiver card photos are enclosed in a blue box.
