===Owner associations===
The mix of property types in Sugarmill Woods dictated that the main associations be designated as Property Owners Associations (POA) instead of Homeowner Associations (HOA). The POAs are Cypress Village, Oak Village, and Southern Woods.{{citation needed|date=April 2023}} The Hammocks, Oakleaf, and Fairway Woods have their own recorded HOAs, while Cypress Run, Pinewood Gardens, Springwood, 3rd Fairway Condominiums I & II, The Villas at Beechwood Point, Pinewood and Fairway Run are condominium associations.{{citation needed|date=April 2023}}

The POAs, certain HOAs and condo associations, administer and enforce their own restrictions and bylaws. They are typically structured to include a board of directors and several committees dedicated to the various concerns of the organization, such as Architectural Control, Rules & Regulations, Deed Restrictions, Common Areas, Finance, Public Safety, and Communications.{{citation needed|date=April 2023}}

In Cypress Village, elected board directors are permitted to serve two consecutive 3-year terms without a maximum number of terms, while committee members serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors by invitation, and without term limits.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Cypress Village POA Governing Documents|url=https://www.cypressvillagesugarmillwoods.com/deed-restrictions-cypress-village-homosassa.php}}</ref>
