Florida homeowners challenge HOA rules amidst new laws and legal uncertainty
NOKOMIS, Fla. — Homeowners associations are everywhere in Florida, and there is no shortage of opinions about what they do and the power they wield.

For a long time, HOAs have had broad powers to enforce and even fine people for rules violations.

They would limit which rules that HOAs can enforce and even provide more transparency to members.
