Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed into law a bill on Friday that gives property owners some relief from fines and suspensions imposed by homeowners’ associations (HOA).
At present, people who live within areas managed by homeowners associations are subject to fines if they are deemed to have violated HOA rules. Some associations may opt to suspend certain rights of a parcel owner, like access to parts of common areas. In light of this issue, HB 1203 was introduced in the Florida House in January. The bill limits the situations when an association can impose fines on the parcel owner’s rights. On May 31, Mr. DeSantis signed the legislation into law.
