Florida HOA Fines
Florida HOAs can impose fines for violations of community rules and CC&Rs, but only if they follow the notice and fining committee process required by Florida Statutes §720.305. Unless the governing documents provide otherwise, a fine may not exceed $100 per violation, and daily fines for a continuing violation may not exceed $1,000 in the aggregate. The board cannot approve its own fines — an independent fining committee must.
