TAMPA, Fla. — Florida lawmakers are moving forward with condo reform through the "Condominium and Cooperative Associations' Bill," which is now heading to the governor's desk.
This bill has key provisions, including rules for community association managers, milestone inspections, insurance, annual financial statements, reserves, condo association meetings, and reporting requirements.
Florida lawmakers say the bill enhances oversight, accountability, and transparency, while providing flexibility that ensures critical repairs and maintenance are made.
“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”
South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
