Upholding Community Standards Through Effective HOA Rule Enforcement

Homeowners associations (HOAs) craft rules with the aim of nurturing well-functioning communities and safeguarding property values. The ability of these rules to achieve their intended goals hinges on proper enforcement.

Pincus & Currier LLP represents HOA boards throughout the West Palm Beach area. We are ready to help you navigate HOA rule enforcement in Florida. With over 100 years of combined experience, our lawyers can assist you with pursuing enforcement solutions consistent with your HOA’s values and unique needs.

Understanding The Basis For Enforcement

As nonprofit entities, HOAs have the authority to set their own rules here in Florida. This includes rules on how members can use their property. These requirements, known as conditions, covenants and restrictions, can be more expansive than state and local laws. Generally, so long as these rules aren’t illegal, HOAs have the right to enforce them.

Common Types Of HOA Rules

These rules can cover a wide range of topics, including:

  • Pets
  • Gardens and landscaping
  • Lawn maintenance
  • Fences and other exterior modifications
  • Renting
  • Home businesses
  • Noise levels
  • Use of common areas

When these rules are breached, the HOA can take actions in response. This could include imposing financial penalties on members.

Fostering Fairness And Predictability

The enforcement of rules can be a source of contention between an HOA and its members. Keeping the process fair and predictable can help with reducing the potential for disputes. One way to do this is through establishing and adhering to clear, consistent procedures for addressing violations.
