If you are reading this, it is because you have an interest in Lake Jacksonville.
Those of us already "on the lake" want everyone who comes to this site to know that
we welcome your interest, and want you to learn more about our "front yard."
Our "common" front yard is 1350 acres, and 25 miles of shoreline neighborhood. Just
so that you know, a few waterfront lake lots are owned outright, but the majority
are leased from the City of Jacksonville for various terms ranging from 10-year
leases to 99-year leases. Although the City of Jacksonville owns the lake, only
about 20% of lake residents are actually within the city limits. The rest of us
are in the county.
The LJA is dedicated to all the lake residents, and the Jacksonville community,
and we will do our best to represent you and to preserve the quality of life on
the lake. Feel free to contact us to learn more about our homeowner advocacy and
programs to serve the community.
You can also find more information about the LJA on our Facebook page.

The LJA (Lake Jacksonville Association) is a corporation created in 1996 to represent
the interests of residents on the lake. While some of us own our land, most of us
lease our home sites from the City of Jacksonville, our landlord.
The purpose for which this Corporation is organized is:
- to promote and protect the interest of the members;
- to serve as an advisory
resource to all governmental agencies regulating the Lake Jacksonville properties;
- to conduct various lawful activities for the benefit of the leaseholders; to discuss
with the landlord all matters pertinent to leaseholders' interest, whether contained
in lease agreements or otherwise;
- to assist the landlord in enforcement of lease provisions; and
- to generally promote and enhance the Lake Jacksonville area and leased grounds,
and to provide such services as deemed lawful and necessary to that end.
