Florida legislature’s war on HOA’s continue

This from the same group of idiots that wants to abolish property taxes and make the counties and cities dependent on handouts from the state to fund police, fire departments, schools and all of the other things that local government does.

I didn't read this in detail but it allows circuit courts to create a "community association court program" but does not require them to, and of course no funding is supplied to create these courts. I know of one association in Florida that was dissolved, but they didn't own the roads or really any other amenities or infrastructure so in that case it can already be done and it apparently went pretty smoothly if you don't mind that some of the neighbors have yards full of cars in various states of operational capability.

In my last association, the roads and storm drainage system was owned by the association. If the association was terminated, the county could require all of this to be updated to county standards before accepting them and the special taxing district that would be created for this would look a lot like a special assessment.

I did see that a termination plan needed to be created to determine how common elements would be handled, but I can't imagine how this could work in a condo where roofs or other building elements are the association responsibility. I can't see local governments taking over that role. If they create a homeowner controlled maintenance organization, that sounds a lot like an HOA to me.
