Florida HOA Liens & Assessments
Florida HOAs may record assessment liens for unpaid dues and fees, but must first send a 45-day notice of intent to lien by certified mail under Florida Statutes §720.3085. Interest on delinquent assessments is capped at 18% per year. Foreclosure must proceed through the courts as a judicial process. Sellers must obtain an estoppel certificate under §720.30851 before closing.
