Condo Q&A

Recent changes to Florida statutes affect existing HOA communities

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.
