Budgets

That's not FL HOA law, although it may be in your documents. The law states about budgets:

6) BUDGETS.--The association shall prepare an annual budget. The budget must reflect the estimated revenues and expenses for that year and the estimated surplus or deficit as of the end of the current year. The budget must set out separately all fees or charges for recreational amenities, whether owned by the association, the developer, or another person. The association shall provide each member with a copy of the annual budget or a written notice that a copy of the budget is available upon request at no charge to the member. The copy must be provided to the member within the time limits set forth in subsection (5). [Note: the time limits in subsection 5 deal with an owner requesting a copy of the budget]

Myself and the Property Manager have a private meeting argue it thru then deliver any changes via e-mail to all BOD Members asap after the MC/My meeting and still have 3 weeks to puruse it. Prior to the Oct meeting of the BOD. We then vote and approve at the oct meeting and mail it out prior to 15 Nov. Then we also post it on the website as a "Heads Up" to the community only if a increase may be necessary. That is done in August. We physically mail to each member in time for the Dec meeting of the BOD. We have elections in Feb. 18 years doin it this a way no problems.
