Congratulations on your new home! As a property owner in a community governed by a Homeowners Association (HOA), you've joined an organization designed to maintain property values, manage common areas, and foster a pleasant living environment. This guide will help you understand how your Florida HOA operates and what to expect as a new member.
A Homeowners Association (HOA) is a legal entity created to manage and maintain residential communities. When you purchased your property, you automatically became a member of the HOA and agreed to abide by its governing documents.
HOAs operate under a specific hierarchy of governing documents and laws. Understanding this hierarchy is crucial when questions arise about which rules apply or take precedence.
