Follow the Statutes or HOA Fines are Waived

One of the primary methods of bringing homeowners into compliance with neighborhood statutes is by fining homeowners for violating the community’s covenants.

Florida Statutes are very clear on how an association can levy fines against a homeowner, which include limits on the number of fines. The statutes also allow for attorney fees to be charged in the collection process.

You could even have a lien placed on your house by the association, creating thousands of dollars of costs to homeowners.

Here is one such case where a homeowner racked up nearly $1,000 in fines – just because he put his yard waste out on the wrong day.

The new law that goes into effect will cost unprepared associations thousands of dollars in assessments if they don’t follow the very specific rules outlined in HB 1203.
