Fining for an Immediate Violation
The statute says a fine cannot be imposed unless 14 days are first provided to the resident. As I interpret this, individuals must be given 14 days to cure a violation. Our HOA has a stop sign violation. The violation is immediately cured after the resident runs the stop sign. How do we fine the individual? An individuals posts a sign in their window. They can keep the sign up for 13 days and not receive a fine. They remove the sign and the Property Manager confirms it was removed and then then put the sign right back. How can we control and issue fines in these cases? Florida
