Boca Pointe is a gated community in Boca Raton, Florida. It sits in Palm Beach County near Powerline Road and SW 18th Street. Sub-associations include Estates, Manor, Fairways, Sabal Ridge, Lakes, Concord, Wentworth, Islands, and Ivanhoe. A move here takes planning. The main guardhouse pre-clears each moving carrier.

2. COI Submission: Submit a Certificate of Insurance naming the sub-community HOA as additional insured, with $1 million general liability and $2 million aggregate, 48 to 72 hours before the move.

3. Sub-Community Rules Vary: Estates, Manor, Fairways, Sabal Ridge, Lakes, Concord, Wentworth, Islands, and Ivanhoe each set their own move-hour window and COI language. Check with the HOA before booking.

4. Move-Hour Window: The typical window is 8am to 5pm on weekdays. Some sub-communities allow a shorter Saturday morning slot. Sunday and holiday moves are usually not allowed.

5. Local Hourly Rate: A 2-mover crew and truck runs $135 per hour. A 3-mover crew runs $180 per hour. A 4-mover crew runs $225 per hour in the Boca Raton market.

6. License Check: Verify the USDOT number at safer.fmcsa.dot.gov and the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) IM license at fdacs.gov before signing.

The seven sections below map each community, gate, COI, HOA, cost, table, and vetting step to the right stage of a Boca Pointe move.

What Is Boca Pointe Boca Raton?

Boca Pointe is a gated master-planned community in Boca Raton, Florida. It sits in Palm Beach County between Powerline Road and Military Trail, south of Palmetto Park Road. The community mixes estate homes, courtyard homes, and low-rise condos. Most estate homes range 3,000 to 5,500 sq ft with three to five bedrooms.

Boca Pointe Country Club sits at the center. It offers equity and non-equity membership tiers, but membership is not required for ownership. Nearby luxury communities include The Polo Club, Broken Sound, and Woodfield. Because Boca Pointe is gated, every vendor is a controlled visitor at the main guardhouse. That includes the moving carrier.

How Does Gate Access Work at Boca Pointe?

Gate access for a moving truck is not automatic. The resident adds the mover to the visitor list at the main guardhouse 24 to 48 hours ahead. The entry lists the company name, USDOT number, truck details, and arrival window. On move day, the guard checks the license and truck against the list. Only then is the truck waved through.

A truck without pre-clearance is turned away. That delay can cost the crew a billed hour of standby time. The Safebound coordinator gets the resident's OK and the HOA contact during phone intake. This sets the list before the crew leaves. When the driveway or interior road cannot clear a 26-foot box, Safebound uses a smaller shuttle inside the community.

What Does the Boca Pointe HOA Require for COI Submission?

Each sub-community HOA asks for a Certificate of Insurance (COI) from the mover before the move date. A standard COI names the sub-association as additional insured. It lists $1 million per-occurrence general liability, $2 million aggregate, and workers' compensation that meets Florida law. The holder line reads the HOA management company on file, not Boca Pointe as one umbrella.

The HOA office asks for the COI 48 to 72 hours before the move. The file is logged against the resident's address and sent to the guardhouse. Safebound issues the COI from its insurance carrier and sends it to the management email. A mover that cannot issue a COI naming the sub-community HOA as additional insured is not set up for a gated Boca Raton move.

What Are the Move-Hour Windows at Boca Pointe?

Boca Pointe sub-community HOAs limit moves to daytime hours. This shields residents from evening and weekend noise. The typical window is 8am to 5pm Monday through Friday. A few sub-communities also allow a short Saturday morning slot. Sunday and holiday moves are usually not allowed. The resident checks the current window with the HOA before locking a move date.

A crew that arrives outside the window is turned away. The resident pays any HOA fine. To keep the move inside the window, the Safebound coordinator schedules truck arrival by 8am. The team aims for a mid-morning load-out. The estate set-down ends before 5pm. On larger moves that cannot fit one weekday, the coordinator books a two-day plan with pre-cleared guardhouse entries and a COI that covers both days.

How Much Does a Local Move Into Boca Pointe Cost?

A local move into Boca Pointe is billed by the hour, not by cubic feet. In the Boca Raton market, a 2-mover crew and box truck runs $135 per hour. A 3-mover crew runs $180 per hour. A 4-mover crew runs $225 per hour. Most local jobs carry a 4-hour minimum on an estate move, plus 1 travel hour.

A typical 3-bedroom move lands between $1,200 and $2,000. A 4-bedroom estate runs between $1,600 and $2,800. A 5-bedroom home in the Estates or Manor runs between $2,200 and $3,500. A dedicated local move written estimate confirms the hourly rate, minimum hours, crew size, and any add-on such as professional packing or short-term storage. A long-distance move from outside Florida uses a flat rate based on inventory volume.

What Red Flags Should a Boca Pointe Resident Avoid?

Four red flags should end a mover search early. First, a mover that cannot give a USDOT number and an FL IM license on the phone. The guardhouse and the HOA both ask for these. Second, a mover that refuses to issue a COI naming the sub-community HOA as additional insured. The move never clears the gate without it. Third, a cash-only deposit of hundreds of dollars before the written estimate is signed. A licensed Florida mover books a local hourly job without a large cash deposit up front.

Fourth, an hourly rate below $110 per hour for a 2-mover crew and truck. That rate falls outside the Boca Raton cost band and often flags an unlicensed mover. Also watch for a mover that ignores the move-hour window and offers a Sunday move. Sunday moves are rarely allowed under HOA rules. A written estimate that spells out the COI, the guardhouse pre-clearance, and the move-hour window shows a mover that has worked at Boca Pointe before.

Pre-Move Checklist for Boca Pointe Residents

The list below sequences the eight steps a resident works through with the HOA and the mover before move day. Each step maps to a document, call, or approval that keeps the move on schedule.

1. Book the written estimate. Lock the hourly rate, minimum hours, crew size, and target date at least three weeks ahead with a licensed Florida mover.

2. Confirm the sub-community rules. Call the Estates, Manor, Fairways, Sabal Ridge, Lakes, Concord, Wentworth, Islands, or Ivanhoe HOA office to check the current move-hour window and any 2026 board updates.

3. Request the COI template. Ask the HOA for the exact holder name, address, and additional-insured language for the COI.

4. Submit the COI. Ask the mover to issue the COI naming the sub-community HOA as additional insured. Send it to the management email 48 to 72 hours before the move.

5. Add the truck to the guardhouse list. Give the guardhouse the mover's company name, USDOT number, truck details, and arrival window 24 to 48 hours ahead.

6. Confirm driveway staging. Check that the driveway can hold the truck without blocking the interior road or a neighbor's driveway. Ask for a smaller shuttle if needed.

7. Prep the home. Clear the walk from the front door to the driveway. Tape floor runners on high-wear areas. Set aside a labeled box for hardware from beds and tables.

8. Sign the Bill of Lading. Review the Bill of Lading (BoL) at load-out and delivery. Elect Released Value Protection at $0.60 per pound per article or Full Value Protection before the crew starts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What paperwork do movers need for Boca Pointe?

The mover supplies a Certificate of Insurance naming the sub-community HOA as additional insured. Coverage is $1 million general liability and $2 million aggregate. The resident sends the COI to the HOA office 48 to 72 hours before the move. The mover also gives the USDOT number and truck details for the guardhouse list.

Can movers work on a Saturday at Boca Pointe?

It depends on the sub-community. Some allow a shorter Saturday morning window. Others limit moves to weekdays only. Sunday and federal holiday moves are usually not allowed. Check the Saturday rule with the HOA before booking a weekend date to avoid a turn-around at the gate.

How much does a local move within Boca Raton cost?

A local move runs $135 per hour for a 2-mover crew. A 3-mover crew runs $180 per hour. A 4-mover crew runs $225 per hour. A typical 3-bedroom home moves between $1,200 and $2,000. A 4-bedroom estate runs between $1,600 and $2,800.

Does the HOA fine residents for move-hour violations?

Each sub-community HOA can fine a resident under the bylaws. Fines apply when a move runs outside the approved window or arrives without an approved COI. Fines are billed to the resident, not the mover. Checking the current window with the HOA before booking prevents a surprise citation.

Do Boca Pointe homes have elevators?

Most Boca Pointe addresses are estate homes or courtyard homes without shared elevators. No freight elevator reservation is needed. A few low-rise condos may have one shared elevator the HOA schedules for moves. Check elevator rules with the sub-community HOA before the move date.

Where do moving trucks park at Boca Pointe?

Moving trucks stage in the home's driveway during the load or unload window. Trucks cannot block the interior road, a neighbor's driveway, or a sidewalk. When a 26-foot box truck cannot fit the driveway, the Safebound crew uses a smaller shuttle. The main truck stages at a nearby cleared spot approved by the guardhouse.

How does a carrier get a guardhouse pass at Boca Pointe?

The resident adds the mover to the main guardhouse list 24 to 48 hours ahead. The entry lists the company name, USDOT number, truck details, and arrival window. On move day, the guard checks the driver's license and truck against the list. The Safebound coordinator confirms the pre-clearance during phone intake.

Do I need a full-service mover for a Boca Pointe move?

A licensed full-service mover is the practical choice. Each HOA requires a COI naming the association as additional insured. That document is only issued through a commercial mover's insurance carrier. Day-labor and gig-app helpers cannot issue a compliant COI, so a Boca Pointe move rarely clears the gate without a full-service mover.
