HOA and condo disputes in Delray Beach follow FL 720.311 (HOA) and 718.1255 (condos). Pre-suit mediation is mandatory for most covenant disputes, and election/recall disputes go to DBPR arbitration.
FL 720.311 requires mandatory pre-suit mediation before filing certain HOA lawsuits (use restrictions, parking, architectural). Each party pays its own mediator fee. Election, recall, and access-to-records disputes are funneled to DBPR Arbitration (FL 720.306 and 720.303). For condos, FL 718.1255 requires non-binding arbitration or pre-suit mediation through DBPR. Palm Beach County Circuit Court handles unresolved matters. Attorney fees shift to the prevailing party under FL 720.305.
Failing to mediate before filing suit can result in dismissal and fee shifting. DBPR arbitrator orders are enforceable in circuit court.
