The WUCIOA provides a legal structure for the creation, management, and termination of iniums, cooperatives, and planned communities. Effective since July 1, 2018, the Act is codified in Chapter 64.90 RCW and outlines the responsibilities of HOAs, developers, and owners within common interest communities.
Every HOA has a set of CC&Rs (covenants, conditions, and restrictions) managed by an elected HOA board. These regulations control certain aspects of community life and may forbid rentals of any kind. If you bought a home in an HOA where the CC&Rs prohibits rentals, you must comply with this restriction.
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.
HOAs can be dissolved, and the process for dissolving a particular homeowners' association can be found in its governing documents.
HOAs may ask homeowners to do something or keep you from doing something not officially covered in the CC&Rs. In such cases, homeowners may want to take legal action against the HOA by filing a lawsuit.
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.
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.
The Florida Legislature amended the Florida inium Act in 2018 to impose an eight-year term limit for board members.
One of the unintended consequences of the Act is that the Declarations of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions recorded for HOAs may expire after 30 years of the date which they were recorded.
