IMPORTANT COMMUNITY WIDE ANNOUNCEMENT: Florida House Bill #173

The purpose of this notice is to make you aware of Proposed Florida House Bill #173 (Sponsor: Kimberly Daniels - Duval) currently on the State Senate floor and up for a vote, to become effective 7/1/2024, if passed.

This bill states that not-for-profit HOAs (this is YOU) would be mandated to donate or use 15% of the association’s total annual assessments (dues) "to benefit the community in the county in which the community served by the association is located."

This expense will have to be passed on to ALL homeowners as an increase in your Association Fees!

Not just here but in EVERY CITY IN FLORIDA.
