Florida §720.305 — HOA fines, hearings, and the $1,000 lien threshold
Section 720.305 sets the fine mechanics for a Florida HOA — $100 per violation, $1,000 aggregate, a hearing before an independent committee, and one rule that diverges sharply from the condo statute: an HOA fine of $1,000 or more may become a lien.

What the statute requires
Obligations
Cap any single fine at $100 per violation and the aggregate at $1,000 unless the governing documents allow otherwise.
§720.305(2)
Provide at least 14 days written notice and an opportunity for a hearing before any fine or suspension takes effect.
§720.305(2)(b) · at least 14 days before
Hold the hearing within 90 days of issuing the notice, before a committee of three or more members appointed by the board who are not officers, directors, or employees — or their spouses, parents, children, or siblings.
§720.305(2)(b) · within 90 days of notice
Consequences of non-compliance
Penalties
A fine of less than $1,000 may not become a lien against a parcel. A fine of $1,000 or more may become a lien if the governing documents permit — the key §720 divergence from §718.303 fines, which never lien.
§720.305(2)
A fine imposed without the 14-day notice, the independent committee, or the hearing is unenforceable.
§720.305(2)(b)
