Florida HOA fine lien checker
Answer three questions to determine whether a Florida association fine can legally become a lien on a unit or parcel under §718.303(4) and §720.305(2).
Q1. Is this a Florida condominium (§718) or HOA (§720)?
Condo fines — §718.303(4): Florida condominium fines are a personal obligation of the unit owner and may not be secured by a lien on the unit. The association's remedy is a personal action for collection, not a lien foreclosure.
HOA fines — §720.305(2): An HOA fine may become a lien only when (a) the aggregate fine balance on a single parcel reaches or exceeds $1,000, and (b) the recorded declaration of covenants or another governing document expressly authorizes the lien. Both conditions must be satisfied.
Notice and hearing requirements: Before any fine is imposed — whether or not it is ultimately liened — the association must provide at least 14 days' notice and an opportunity to be heard before an independent three-member committee under §720.305(2)(b). An approved fine that the committee does not confirm is voided.
