If proxies are mailed to another address other than the property Management Co, are they allowed?

My simple answer would be regardless of where mailed, if they qualified then they are legal.

Julie,
Proxies would be governed under FL 617 (if incorporated as a nonprofit), FL 720.306 (if an HOA), FL 718 (for COAs) and/or your governing documents.
There is no requirement that members name the Association as the proxy representative. Matter of fact, the member may name whom ever they desire to be their proxy representative. No matter who is named the representative, the proxy form must be turned into the Association for validation and retention. The Association may require that this be done x days in advance or, as most allow, have the form presented to the Association when they sign in at the meeting site.

Just a quick not: In the state of ARIZONA, proxy ballots are NO LONGER permitted. You either vote absentee or in person. This is a great idea as some folks are not really involved in what their HOA's are doing so issues could be decided by people gathering up proxies from folks and getting their issues passed. Check you state Statutes.
