Florida Statute 163.04 preempts HOA solar restrictions - no homeowners association can prevent installation of solar collectors on a homeowner's property. Lynn Haven HOAs may dictate only the precise location/orientation that achieves materially the same goal as the homeowner.
F.S. 163.04 (Solar Rights Act) preempts deed restrictions and HOA covenants: 'No deed restrictions, covenants, declarations, or similar binding agreements running with the land shall prohibit, or have the effect of prohibiting, solar collectors, clotheslines, or other energy devices based on renewable resources from being installed on buildings erected on the lots or parcels covered by the deed restrictions, covenants, declarations, or binding agreements.' An HOA may dictate the specific location only if the alternative location does not impair the system's effectiveness or significantly increase cost. The statute also allows solar clotheslines.
HOA violation - civil suit under F.S. 163.04(3) for declaratory relief, attorney's fees, and damages.
