Homeowner's Association Law
Homeowner Association Law (including Condominiums and multiple family dwellings, as well as Single-Family homes) is more than just statutes. For every Association, Board members and homeowners alike must comply with Federal and State law as well as the laws set forth in each individual Association's governing documents. And, the law changes regularly. Whether you are a homeowner or you represent an Association as a Board member or Manager, at Bret Jones, P.A., we have worked with clients on both sides of Association law. Our homeowner association lawyers have worked with developers, homeowners, and Association Boards with every aspect of Homeowner Association law (from declaration, covenant, and restriction drafting to representation in foreclosure to collections and fines).
Homeowner Association Boards are often concerned about their rights as to vacant homes, non-compliant homeowners, and collection of assessments. Because the statutes governing homeowner associations and their rights change annually (including the right of a homeowner association to collect dues and assessments from tenants), it is important that Association Boards familiarize themselves with Florida law and have legal representation to advise them on the changes and their rights.
Homeowners, typically, find themselves wondering whether the declaration, covenant, or rule for which they have been cited was appropriately passed and whether and how they need to comply with the demands of the Association. When property owners retain Bret Jones, P.A., they usually ask questions about how Florida law and their governing homeowner’s association documents apply to their particular circumstance. We take pride in trying to approach these issues as efficiently and effectively as possible — and to try to reach a resolution for both sides without going to court if possible.
Whether you have questions about assessments, liens, foreclosures, mediation, or fines, the homeowner association lawyers at Bret Jones, P.A. can assist you with your Florida association law matters.
