I’m in Florida. From what I’ve seen. If you own a large parcel and want to sub divide it, the county demands you submit a proposal that details and structures HOA in the process. I don’t think this is voluntary in Florida. If a freeper knows more, this is the place to dispute what I think. Educate us all.
Thanks.
Well, like I said ... create an anti-HOA. Something that defeats the intent and purpose of such a statute while satisfying the letter of it.
It has to be possible.
These days, almost every subdivided community has open space, storm water management facilities or other facilities that need to be maintained by the community. A local government will insist that an HOA be formed as a condition of subdivision approval so there is a mechanism in place to collect funds for that maintenance. Local governments couldn’t care less whether those HOA’s have architectural controls. The architectural controls are included by the developers and builders so they can be sure that property values are preserved. I am a development attorney and have done the HOA documents for many such subdivisions.
