About Us


Lake Tallavana is a private gated community located in Havana, Florida and is just minutes north of the state capital, Tallahassee.  The Tallavana Homeowners' Association (THA) is comprised of volunteers from the community who work diligently to protect our community.  We have a Corporate Secretary who handles the essential day to day activities of the Association. 

Some things to know when moving to Lake Tallavana
We are governed by our Covenants, Rules and Restrictions.  It would be wise to read these rules before purchasing a home here to know what you can and cannot do within the community.  We have a volunteer committee called the Architectural Control Committee (ACC) whose sole purpose is to review all requests to build or modify permanent structures.  Meaning, before you paint your house pink or build a storage shed you would need to seek permission from the ACC prior to proceeding with your planned project.

Refer to the File Archives link above to get a copy of our Covenants, Rules and Restrictions.

Please also refer to the Contact Info link above to get contact information for Board members, Corporate Secretary or ACC Chairman.

Note: the late Bob Harrer spent incalculable hours drawing, sizing and illustrating the map above. It was HIS creation and design, his manhours and labor and the THA graciously thanks him and his family.



Lake Tallavana 25MPH Speed Limit

We all know that the speed limit on Lake Tallavana roads is 25 mph; sadly though, there are some individuals who fail to comply. We have a number of walkers, joggers and bicycle riders who are on the road almost daily, and their safety is at risk when someone speeds through the development.

FYI: It takes about 8 minutes to drive one way from the end of Tallavana Trail to the gate, so please allow yourself at least that much time when planning to drive somewhere outside the Lake Tallavana area.

Please slow down and help keep our community safe for all of us!
