Maybe, under certain conditions. The Homeowner’s Association (HOA) incurs a significant monthly expense by paying the management company for the services of a janitor/handyman, who is available on specific days and times. It is expected that tasks related to the community will be performed during the established working hours.
To respect the allocation of resources, we kindly request that you avoid interrupting the janitor/handyman during these hours as it directly affects our budget. For example, tasks such as placing back trash and recycle bins or pressure washing your patio or the front of your unit are not within the scope of the janitor/handyman's responsibilities.
If a resident requires such services, they will need to arrange for it separately outside of the community’s designated working hours.
Should we discover the janitor/handyman engaged in such tasks during their scheduled hours, they will be immediately redirected, reprimanded, and may face the risk of job termination.
in situations where a neighbor's unit is causing damage, it's important to note that the association's legal authority to intervene is limited to common areas. While we are willing to help, if possible, it's essential to understand that the property management or the Board may not have direct involvement in such matters. However, if there are alternative ways in which we can be of assistance, we are open to exploring those options.
The term "estoppel" refers to a legal document or certificate that confirms the accuracy of certain information or facts related to a specific legal matter. In the context of an HOA, an estoppel certificate is typically used during the sale of a property to confirm the current homeowner's financial standing with the HOA. The estoppel certificate will outline any outstanding fees, dues, or assessments owed by the homeowner, as well as any violations of the HOA's rules and regulations. This information is important for the buyer to know before finalizing the purchase of the property.
Both tenants and owners can receive violations, depending on the specific rules and regulations set by the HOA. While the primary responsibility for adhering to the HOA guidelines typically falls on the homeowners, tenants are also expected to comply with the established rules and may face consequences for violations. It is essential for both owners and tenants to familiarize themselves with the HOA's bylaws and regulations to understand their respective obligations and potential consequences.
First step, and in accordance with Paragraph (b) of Section 9 of the Bylaws, the Association is required to first send a written warning to the owner, stating the violation(s) and requesting that the owner cure the violation(s). No fine can be assessed prior to the written warning.
Board Meeting.
The second step, as outlined in Section 720.305(2)(b) of the Florida Statutes, the Board must initially assess whether a violation exists and, if so, decide whether to impose a fine during a duly called Board meeting. However, it is important to note that the fine cannot be officially enforced until the Board provides a written notice of at least 14 days to the owner and, if applicable, any occupant, licensee, or invitee associated with the owner who is subject to the potential fine. Additionally, the individual facing the fine must be given an opportunity for a hearing before the Grievance Committee. At this stage, the Board has convened, evaluated the violation, and if it concludes that the violation is valid, the Board imposes the fine. Nonetheless, the fine remains unenforceable until the Grievance Committee convenes, as described below.
Grievance Committee
Third Step. According to Section 720.305(2)(b) of the Florida Statutes, the Grievance Committee's role is highly limited. During the scheduled hearing, the Grievance Committee will either validate or dismiss the imposed fine set by the Board. If the Grievance Committee rejects the proposed fine, it cannot be enforced. However, if the Grievance Committee approves the fine, the payment must be made within five (5) days after the owner and, if applicable, any tenant, licensee, or invitee of the owner receives notice of the approved fine. The Association is required to provide written notice of the fine through mail or hand delivery to the owner and, if applicable, to any tenant, licensee, or invitee of the owner.
Collecting Fines
Final Step. As per Section 720.305(2) of the Florida Statutes, the Association is not permitted to place a lien for fines unless the fine amount exceeds $1,000. This typically occurs in cases of ongoing violations. The association has the right to pursue legal action to collect the unpaid fine.
Currently, the fine is $75.00 for the first offense and $100.00 per day for the same violation not to exceed $1000.00 for 10 days. If the violation continues, the matter shall be referred to the Association’s attorney.
An HOA, or homeowner's association, is a not-for-profit organization formed by homeowners in a community to maintain and improve the value, appearance, and quality of life within their neighborhood. The HOA enforces rules and regulations known as CC&Rs, which cover areas like architecture, landscaping, parking, and noise levels.
A board of directors oversees the HOA's operations, often with the help of a management company. Membership in the HOA involves paying assessments and grants access to common areas and amenities. HOAs offer benefits like property value maintenance and community cohesion.
Yes, HOA membership is mandatory for all property owners within the community.
The process for electing the HOA board is held on the Annual Elections Meeting usually held on the third week in January. Generally, it involves the following steps:
Announcement: The HOA will provide an announcement to inform the homeowners about the upcoming election and the procedures for nominating candidates.
Nominations: Interested homeowners can nominate themselves or other homeowners to serve on the board. Nominees must meet any eligibility requirements outlined in the governing documents.
Candidate verification: The HOA will verify the eligibility of the candidates and announce the final list of nominees.
Voting: The election will take place by ballot, either in-person or via mail-in vote, as determined by the HOA. Homeowners may cast their vote for the candidates of their choice.
Counting of the votes: After the voting period has ended, the HOA will count the votes and announce the new board members.
Officers and Directors: New board members nominate the officers and directors.
Owners shall have the right to cast one vote for every Lot in which they possess the necessary membership interests as specified in the Bylaws, Article III, Section 1. If multiple individuals hold the required interests in a particular Lot, all such individuals shall be considered members, and the voting rights for that Lot will be determined among them. However, it is important to note that no more than one vote can be cast for any given Lot.
Individuals who are delinquent in payment to the association cannot seek election to the board or have their name listed on the ballot. If a board member becomes over 90 days delinquent, they are considered to have abandoned their seat, creating a vacancy to be filled according to the law. Additionally, individuals with felony convictions or certain offenses are ineligible for board membership unless their civil rights have been restored for at least 5 years prior to seeking election. The validity of board actions is unaffected by later determinations of ineligibility.
The requirements include being a member of the association and not having a felony conviction related to violence, property, dishonesty, or moral misconduct, or a violation of rules and regulations set by a government or quasi-governmental entity. The Board will conduct a background check on all candidates, and the election will be decided by a majority vote.
Governing documents refer to the legal documents that establish and govern the operations, management, and regulations of an organization such as bylaws, articles of incorporation, or a declaration of condo and rules and regulations. These documents outline the framework of the organization and provide guidance on its decision-making processes, structure, and rules of the homeowner’s association.
Owners are entitled to request the following documents from your HOA:
You can pay the HOA fees either online through ACH (Automated Clearing House) or by mail, and both methods are acceptable. However, paying through ACH is the preferred way as it has several advantages over mailing the payment. When making payments via ACH, the property management is unable to access your banking information. They only receive an alert once the payment has been received.
There are benefits to ACH. First, it is a faster and more efficient method of payment, as it eliminates the delay in physical mail delivery and processing time. This ensures that your payment is received and processed in a timely manner, reducing the likelihood of late fees or penalties or check lost in the mail.
Second, paying through ACH is more secure than mailing a physical check. ACH transactions are conducted through a secure network, providing a safer and more protected method of payment.
Third, paying through ACH is more convenient and hassle-free, as it eliminates the need for writing and mailing checks. You can set up automatic monthly payments through ACH, which ensures that your payments are made time every month without any additional effort on your part.
If an owner does not pay fees or assessments after a specific period, the association may take legal action to collect the past-due amount.
A special assessment is an additional fee charged by an HOA for significant expenses beyond the regular budget. It covers things like major repairs, renovations, or unexpected costs. Its purpose is to ensure enough funds for specific projects or obligations. The amount is determined based on the project's cost and the number of units.
Special assessments require homeowner notification, meetings, and voting. Homeowners are given time to pay, either as a lump sum or over a defined period. These assessments benefit the community by maintaining or improving property values and overall quality of living.
HOA special assessments are typically handled by following the procedures outlined in the HOA's governing documents. These procedures may include notifying homeowners about the assessment, holding meetings to discuss and approve the assessment, and establishing a payment schedule. The collected funds from special assessments are used for specific purposes, such as major repairs, maintenance, or improvement projects within the community.

No. Florida law requires HOA boards to have open meetings with its’ members to ensure transparency and accountability. The law recognizes the importance of homeowner participation in the governance of their communities and seeks to protect their right to attend and observe board meetings. The only two exceptions to this requirement are limited to personnel matters or discussions with legal counsel related to pending or potential litigation..
here are some suggestions:
Stay informed: Stay updated with weather reports and advisories issued by local authorities and follow their instructions. Keep a close eye on hurricane warnings and evacuation orders, if any.
Review HOA guidelines: Familiarize yourself with the HOA's hurricane preparedness guidelines and any specific procedures they have in place for the community. This information may be available in the HOA bylaws, rules, and regulations, or provided by the management.
Secure your property: Take precautions to protect your townhouse and belongings. Install hurricane shutters or plywood on windows and doors to prevent damage from strong winds. Trim trees and remove any loose objects from your yard that could become projectiles during the storm.
Prepare an emergency kit: Create an emergency kit that includes essential supplies such as non-perishable food, water, flashlights, batteries, a first aid kit, medications, and important documents. Make sure to have enough supplies to sustain yourself and your family for several days.
Communicate with the HOA property management: Stay in touch with the HOA management or board members to receive updates, share your contact information with them, and inform them of any special needs or assistance you may require during and after the hurricane.
Follow evacuation orders: If local authorities issue evacuation orders, take them seriously and follow the instructions provided. Your safety should be the top priority, so be prepared to evacuate to a designated shelter or a safer location if necessary.
Secure outdoor furniture and belongings: If you have outdoor furniture or items that can be easily moved, secure or store them indoors to prevent them from being damaged or causing damage to others during high winds.
Insurance coverage: Ensure that your homeowner's insurance policy provides adequate coverage for potential hurricane-related damages. Review your policy details and contact your insurance provider if necessary to address any concerns or adjust.
Fill-up vehicles gas tank: Ensure your preparedness for evacuation by ensuring your vehicle's gas tank is filled in case the need to evacuate arises.
Cash-up: Given the possibility of ATM machines and banks being closed during a hurricane, it is crucial to ensure you have an adequate amount of cash to sustain yourself until services are restored, and businesses reopen.
Remember, it's essential to stay informed, follow safety protocols, and cooperate with the HOA and local authorities during hurricane events. By being prepared and taking necessary precautions, you can help protect yourself, your property, and your community during these challenging times.
