Under Fla. Stat. § 720.305, a Florida HOA may fine up to $100 per violation and $1,000 in the aggregate unless the governing documents allow more. The association must give at least 14 days' written notice and a hearing before a committee of at least three members, who must approve the fine by majority vote.
Section 720.305 lets an association levy reasonable fines, capped at $100 per violation and $1,000 in the aggregate 'unless otherwise provided in the governing documents.' Before imposing a fine or suspension the board must give at least 14 days' written notice describing the violation and how to cure it, plus a hearing before a committee of at least three members who are not officers, directors, employees, or their relatives. The committee must confirm the fine by majority vote, or it cannot be imposed. Under HB 1203 (effective July 1, 2024), if the violation is cured before the hearing, no fine or suspension may be imposed. A fine of $1,000 or more may become a lien.
A confirmed fine is capped at $100 per violation and $1,000 aggregate unless the declaration sets a higher figure. Fines under $1,000 cannot become a lien; a fine of $1,000 or more may be enforced as a lien against the parcel. A cured violation cannot be fined.
