HOA and Condominium Association Attorneys

10/28/2019
Attorney  ·  Lawyer

According to the Community Association Institute’s 2018 Homeowners Satisfaction Survey, 90% of the respondents say their association rules enhance and protect property values and 85% of participants rated their overall experience as members of an HOA or COA as being positive. It is estimated that over 350,000 HOA’s and COA’s are active in this country with over 40 million households, which represents 53% of all owner-occupied households in the United States. Amazing… It is no wonder that developers, especially in Florida, are building-out planned, private communities and condominiums at an alarming rate. Active communities where the ownership of private property is under the use-control of an association’s governing rules and regulations of its owners and where common areas are maintained and paid for by association dues. Homeowner and condominium associations all over the State of Florida have unique challenges when handling their day to day activities of issues ranging from deed and covenant enforcement, collection of dues, assessments and even dealing with construction issues defects and liens. Business law attorneys that specialize in assisting HOA’s and COA’s are much more effective if engaged by the real estate developer at the outset of the development or condominium project. Having the necessary experience and legal expertise in drafting and amending HOA and Condominium Association governing documents, advising on compliance issues with state statutes is essential for creating durable and enforceable covenants and restrictions. HOA attorneys in jacksonville fl provide legal advice and opinions on many aspects of HOA’s and COA’s operations including: drafting governing documents, declarations and amendments, interpretation and enforcement of covenants, rules and regulations, assessments, assessment collection, conflict of interest, bylaw disputes, managing agent agreements, and disputes that include common charges, covenant enforcement, disturbance issues and modification of CAC’s. Additionally, if problems arise with the construction of dwellings that result in contract disputes, construction defects, mechanical liens, alterations, and repairs or other disputes with property owners HOA attorneys usually have construction law experience.
