FAQ
Federal Law Supersedes State Law. While a municipality can write local laws they can be stricter than the State law (as long as they do not run counter to the State or U.S. Constitution) But cannot contradict state law.
Homeowners' associations shall complement, support and strengthen LGUs in providing vital services to their members and help implement local government policies, programs, ordinances, and rules.
Finally, is an HOA considered a local government? No—HOAs are not considered a local government entity. While they do hold some administrative functions for a community, such as collecting assessments and enforcing rules, they do not possess the authority granted to real government bodies.
In summary, there is no case where HOA rules override state law. Considering the hierarchy, federal, state, and local laws always take precedence over an association's rules. Board members should have a solid grasp of these laws. In doing so, they can protect the HOA and mitigate the risk of liability.
Generally, it is the laws that were in effect at the time the HOA documents were recorded. Your HOA documents are contracts between the HOA and its members so new laws cannot, generally, be applied retroactively to override them.
In contrast to roles, which are essentially just collections of permissions to access system resources, rules define conditions for permission assignments. What does this mean in practical terms? Rule writers can cherry-pick which attributes and conditions are important in a given process.
The only way to force an HOA to enforce the rules is file for arbitration against the HOA or gain support from neighbors and recall the board. There is no FL government sector that watches over HOAs.
Rules tell us what happens if we don't do something; instructions tell us how to respond b.
Bylaws state when the meetings of the association are held. Standing rules tell where and what time association meetings are held, and when executive board meetings are held. Bylaws give the primary responsibilities of officers and chairmen. Standing rules give the specifics.
The key differences between standing rules and bylaws therefore relate to both effect and scope: bylaws are more overarching and refer to procedures while standing rules tend to be more administrative and speak to specifics. Bylaws and standing rules are also hierarchical in nature: bylaws supersede standing rules.
