The State of Florida manages Home Owner Associations (HOAs) through a set of laws called Chapter 720. These laws do little to protect homeowners from management and board members that do not abide by demands set forth in Chapter 720. Further, when laws are broken, the enforcement powers of the State of Florida have little to no punitive measures built into them. Consider the illustration of a police officer pulling a driver over for speeding, then issuing a ticket with no expense to the driver. The abuse would simply continue, this is the case with how Homeowner Associations are presently managed.
As a consequence of having few laws that demand transparency from an association, and coupling it with the lack of enforcement powers of these laws, we have left a majority of home owners in Florida with no safety net against abusive associations. This must change!
If you agree that the State of Florida should work towards addressing these deficiencies in Homeowner Association law (Chapter 720), please help us by signing here.

El Estado de Florida maneja las asociaciones de propietarios (HOAs) mediante una serie de leyes llamadas Capítulo 720. Estas leyes no ofrecen su!ciente protección a los propietarios contra las compañías de administración y miembros de juntas direc%vas que no se rigen por las demandas establecidas en el Capítulo 720. Además, cuando se violan estas leyes, los poderes del Estado de Florida no tienen medidas lo suficientemente severas para hacerlas cumplir. Es como si un policía de carreteras para a un conductor por exceso de velocidad, entonces le aplica una multa de $0.
Como consecuencia de tener pocas leyes que demanden transparencia de parte de las asociaciones de propietarios, y si añadimos el factor de la falta de autoridad para hacerlas cumplir, la mayoría de los propietarios de Florida no contamos con una salvaguarda contra los abusos de las asociaciones de propietarios. ¡Es necesario que esto cambie!
Si está de acuerdo con que el Estado de Florida trabaje para corregir estas deficiencias en las leyes del estado, tenga a bien ayudarnos y firmar aquí

Our HOA (Sandalwood Lakes, West Palm Beach) nearly doubled our monthly fees in anticipation of an insurance increase that never came. Rather than reduce the fees, they considered it license to spend freely! PLEASE at least provide some oversight!
The idea that the only way to hold an HOA accountable is to hire an attorney kind of seems like a scam. There should be a governing body that oversees HOA complaints, or else do away with the whole thing.
We have proof that our association Board of Directors are violating the laws in the State of Florida. Attorney’s fees are costly and we are a small community of only 40 units with many of our residents are seniors on a lower fixed income.
JUST LIKE YOU CAN HIRE A POLICE OFFICER. THE STATE NEED CONDO OFFICERS THAT KNOW CONDO THAT COULD BE HIRED BY RESIDENCE. IT WOULD NOT COST THE STATE AND UNIT OWNERS COULD HAVE AN OFFICIAL STEP IN WHO KNOWS THE LAW
Much change is needed. Eliminate the 20% owners voting to have q valid election. We can vote for the president of the USA without a minimum number of voters! Hard enough to get people to vote when 60% live outside the USA. That's how bad board members keep control. Just one example
HOAs are abusive and damaging, especially for many elderly in Florida.
Our homeowners association is being ran like a small mafia. Senior citizens, almost asked to leave by current president who nominated volunteered and had a stellar management properties place her as community president with only four votes. The rest of the community did not approve it, and the rules of 720 statute were not followed. This needs to stop.

We need an HOA Omsbudsman as HOA board members are ripping off homeowners by violating the CCRs and stealing our monies with non essential charges. Have begged for an HOA Omsbudman for years and it has fallen on deaf ears. Documentation is available for inspection.
