Why should we be required to join the HOA? I cannot do anything to MY property Other than in the house interior without their permission. I own the house, pay the taxes and insurance but some faceless communist controls everything.
My understanding is that FL law requires HOA’s be setup whenever there is a development getting county zoning approval.
We saw a 60-acre parcel in Pasco county in 2006, get sold and developed into six 10-acre pieces. We wanted to buy the original home on the 60-acre, that was being left with 10-acres. We could not get that original house and piece without agreeing to the entire HOA deal.
No sale.
Who required you to join an HOA?
You don’t own your property. You rent it from your county taxing authority. Stop paying your rent (property taxes) and you will be evicted.
