Transparency Through Websites: Everything in One Place One of the biggest changes for larger associations is the website requirement. By January 1, 2025, any HOA or inium association with 100 or more units must maintain a website (or mobile app) where residents can access important documents.
Any Florida HOA or inium association with 100 or more units must maintain a website or mobile app by January 1, 2025, where homeowners can access essential documents, such as governing rules, meeting minutes, budgets, and insurance policies. What happens if an association doesn't comply with these new laws?
Most HOA documents are public record, including governing documents. Some states only require the HOA to make certain documents public, while others can be kept confidential.
Rules that conflict with state or federal law: HOA rules must align with Florida Statutes, federal laws, and local ordinances. Regulations that attempt to override legal protections may not be enforceable.
The local law supersedes the rules and regulations of the HOA, meaning that HOAs must ensure they are operating under the law.
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 Legislature amended the Florida inium Act in 2018 to impose an eight-year term limit for board members.
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.
Florida House Bill 1203 introduces substantial reforms aimed at increasing transparency and accountability within HOAs. This bill mandates the online posting of governing documents, including covenants, restrictions, and financial records, ensuring that you, as a homeowner, have easy access to critical information.
Certain states, including Florida, have adopted the 1956 Marketable Record Title Act, which says that deed restrictions expire within 30 years of inception. That means after 30 years, a homeowners' association is technically unable to enforce the rules and can no longer collect monthly dues from community homeowners.
