Plant City HOAs enforce Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions under FL §720.305. Fines capped at $100 per violation and $1,000 aggregate without separate hearing. Fining committee independent of board required.
FL §720.305(2) authorizes HOA fines up to $100 per violation, with continuing violations accruing daily up to $1,000 aggregate, unless governing documents permit higher amounts. Before any fine becomes effective, the alleged violator must receive 14-day written notice and opportunity for hearing before a committee of at least 3 members who are not board members, officers, employees, or relatives of the board. If committee does not confirm the fine, it cannot be imposed. Association may seek injunctive relief in court; prevailing party recovers attorney fees under FL §720.305(1). CC&R restrictions must be reasonable and not contrary to state law (e.g., FL §720.3075 preempts restrictions on vegetable gardens on residential lots as of 2019).
Improper fining committee composition: fines unenforceable. Violating state-preempted restriction (gardens, solar): member can sue for injunction.
