We are FIPPOA
The Fire Island Pines Property Owners’ Association envisions a diverse and inclusive community of LGBTQ+ neighbors working together to achieve a higher quality of life in Fire Island Pines.
Fire Island Pines Property Owners’ Association (FIPPOA) was incorporated in 1953 to assume responsibility for the community’s property.
Through the years, the association’s role has expanded to become the recognized local government representing the interests of Fire Island Pines with federal, state, Suffolk County and Town of Brookhaven officials and agencies.
With more than 500 members, FIPPOA is volunteer-led, by elected officers and a board of directors who oversee the operations of the community and help protect the fragile ecosystem of a barrier island. FIPPOA operations include the Pines Harbor and Marina, which the association owns and from which it derives a substantial portion of the association’s income.
Among the many responsibilities assumed by FIPPOA are beach erosion protection, harbor maintenance and beautification, safety and lighting, and operation of the post office. The association coordinates with other local government agencies for boardwalk maintenance, waste collection and mosquito control as well as negotiating contracts for passenger ferry and freight services. In addition, FIPPOA serves as liaison with electric, telecommunications and water utilities and the Suffolk County Police.

FIPPOA envisions a diverse and inclusive community of neighbors working together in voluntary association to achieve a higher quality of life in Fire Island Pines, a unique seaside resort community located within the Fire Island National Seashore.
In achieving our vision, FIPPOA values honesty, fairness, common sense, participation, respect, and neighborliness in all our actions.

Our History
Our History
Fire Island Pines is the largest residential community on Fire Island, one of four barrier islands that line the south shore of Long Island. The 32-mile-long island stretches from Old Inlet in the east to Democrat Point in the west.
First settled in the late 18th century, Fire Island has since grown into a popular summer attraction. It draws beach-lovers from New York City and around the world, as well as day-trippers from New York and Long Island.
In 1964, the Secretary of the Interior created the Fire Island National Seashore which, from the beginning, included Fire Island Pines and other pre-existing communities and commercial uses. Today, Fire Island Pines is one of 17 distinct communities on Fire Island.
