The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) is primarily responsible for overseeing iniums, cooperatives, timeshares, and mobile homes through its Division of Florida iniums, Timeshares, and Mobile Homes.
What does it mean to HOA's? The simplified explanation is that the recorded covenants governing a community must be preserved before the end of a 30 year period beginning on the date they were recorded.
The Florida Homeowners' Association Act, Chapter 720 of the Florida Statutes, states that amendments to “governing documents” for homeowners' associations are not effective until they are recorded in the public records of the county in which the community is located.

In the State of Florida, three is the magic number. No matter the size of your association, your board must have at least three members, with the number stated in your articles of incorporation or bylaws. Your bylaws should also have provisions regarding the manner in which the board can expand.
Unless otherwise provided in the bylaws, 30 percent of the total membership is required to constitute a quorum. Decisions shall be made by a majority of members represented at a meeting at which a quorum is present.
