Florida
HOA Laws
Florida has arguably the most extensive HOA and condominium legislation in the country, with separate detailed statutes for each. The Division of Condominiums, Timeshares, and Mobile Homes actively regulates associations and handles complaints. Recent reforms following the Surfside condominium collapse in 2021 significantly strengthened structural inspection and reserve requirements.
