## What do you think? Question:

![Florida HOA law changes and raises questions regarding HOA board membership_111514](https://www.condoassociation.com/hs-fs/file-2325112460-jpg/images/florida_hoa_law_changes_and_raises_questions_regarding_hoa_board_membership_111514-resized-600.jpg)

This question is in reference to recent changes to Florida statutes affecting existing HOAs. A new 2013 HOA law states that a homeowner must be appointed to the HOA board of a new development under developer control once 51% of the homes are sold.

Are there any exceptions to this new law?  Are the developers that were building homes before the new law passed exempt? Is this considered a “procedural change”, and am I correct that this can retroactively be applied? Thanks ahead of time.
