I live in Florida and have found a number of posts that suggest that the language contained in the state statutes supercedes the language contained in the community's governing documents. Howwever, there are a number of places in Fl. Stat. 720 that state a particular section applies unless there is different language in the governing documents. So, the question is - do they supercede your governing documents under all circumstances or only if the governing documents do not provide for the minimum requirements of the state statutes. Sorry if this is confusing.

Thanks

That is the exception - if the state law grants or grandfathers sections of documents that conflict with it, then the association documents will take precedence

Exactly what the statute says. There are places in it where it says this is the way it is for everyone (example is the flying of the US Flag) and others where it says that unless your documents say otherwise this is the way it is (example is the limit on the size of fines).
