I recently purchased a property and in the process of building. At the same time the community of 21 lots was in the process of revitalizing the Association. 100% of the lot owners signed the consent to revitalize the documents. The attorney then sent the request to the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity who approved it in accordance with the State Law. The attorney then established the the Association as a non profit corp and filed those documents. The next step was finalizing the Bylaws. The lawyer then stated that then we could amend the declaration of restrictions to incorporate them. Although 100% signed to revitalize the HOA, only 15 owners signed the amended deed restrictions. The original deed restrictions stated 3/4 of the owners are required to amend the documents, which is 15.75, we got 15 signatures. The new bylaws say 2/3 required for amendments, which is 14 signatures. It was all done by the attorney, but the question has surfaced that we may not be legal. I was just voted as the president. Please help.
