The Purpose of HOA Laws These laws give HOAs the authority to enact rules and regulations governing different areas of community living, such as architectural guidelines, the care of communal areas, and the collection of fees.
HOAs can no longer prohibit homeowners or guests from parking personal vehicles, including pickup trucks, in driveways or legal parking areas. First responders can park assigned vehicles on public roads within the HOA. HOAs cannot ban vegetable gardens or clotheslines if they're not visible from public areas.
Starting a homeowners' association (HOA) is a significant undertaking that can transform a neighborhood into a well-maintained, thriving community. From ensuring compliance with Florida's specific legal requirements to establishing a clear governance structure, the process requires careful planning and execution.
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.
HOA/Condo laws in Florida allow HOAs considerable discretion in approving or denying potential buyers and renters.
HOAs manage communities of houses, while condo associations govern condo complexes where residents co-own common areas. Consider your preferences for community living and management involvement before choosing.
The 2022 state condo law, known as SB-4D, and its 2023 follow-up, SB-154, establish three primary requirements: licensed inspections, reporting and disclosures, and reserve funds. Importantly, these laws are not tax legislation that directly increases housing costs on condo owners.
