In Florida.....

"I have seen many cases where boards have enforced rules that are outside the scope of their rule making authority. In many instances this practice has gone on for years without any challenge from the owners. People have been forced to get rid of pets, kids have been banned from playing and these Associations have been allowed to be run like dictatorships. All too often we are told of various Rules that we must comply with at our Florida Community Associations. Just because our Board Members voted and enacted these Rules does not mean that we should blindly follow them? Part of the problem is that many Board Members serving Condo Associations and Homeowner Associations are unaware of what proposals need to be voted on by the Owners and what matters the Board can enact on it’s own. The first place to look is the Association’s Governing Documents. These typically include the Declaration, By-Laws, Articles of Incorporation and Rules and Regulations. The Declaration of the Association is like the Constitution for that particular development and takes precedence over the By-Laws, Articles of Incorporation and Rules and Regulations."
