FL §720.305 allows HOA fines for covenant violations not to exceed $100 per violation per day, with aggregate caps of $1,000 (covenants may set higher). Fines require 14-day written notice with opportunity for a hearing before a committee of at least three members not on the board and not related to board members. Suspension of common area use rights for nonpayment requires similar due process. Liens for fines over $1,000 are enforceable. FL §720.3075 protects certain owner rights from CC&R restrictions including solar panels, hurricane shutters, FL-Friendly landscaping, US flags up to 4.5x6 ft, military service flags, and clotheslines (limited).
