What Florida HOAs can't do to homeowners anymore
As of July 1, 2024, HOAs will be prohibited from:
- Enforcing rules on some residents but not others
- Banning homeowners or their invited guests from parking personal, business or first responder vehicles (including pickup trucks) that are not commercial vehicles in their driveways or any other area where they have a right to park per state, county and municipal regulations
- Banning contractors or workers from the homeowner's property
- Fining residents for leaving garbage cans at the curb or the end of their driveway within 24 hours of a scheduled trash collection
- Fining residents for leaving up holiday lights or decorations past the HOA's rules without prior notice, after which the homeowner will have one week to take them down
- Limiting or creating rules for the inside of a structure that isn't visible from the street, a neighbor's property, an adjacent common area or a community golf course
- Banning vegetable gardens or clotheslines, if they can't be seen from the street, a neighbor's property, an adjacent common area or a community golf course
- Require review and approval of plans for central air conditioning, refrigeration, heating or ventilation system that isn't visible from the street, a neighbor's property, an adjacent common area or a community golf course and is similar to previously approved systems

Those are improvements. I think HOA can be good, just need to reign in the extremes.

Also...
“An HOA with at least 1,000 parcels must prepare audited financial statements.”
I wonder how they came up with 1,000 number...?

The one about the gardens and clotheslines has me scratching my head. Shouldn’t it say if they can be seen from the street or the other areas instead of can’t? If you can’t see them, why is it a problem. Or am I missing something.
