Florida HOA Lawyer Blog
Among the major changes to Florida’s condominium laws in 2017 is a new provision mandating term limits for board members. The new legislation marks a significant departure from the past policies for most associations pertaining to the tenures of their board members, and it only applies to condo associations and not HOAs.
The newly codified law allows for board members to serve two-year terms, if that is what is called for in their association’s bylaws. However, a board member may not serve more than four consecutive two-year terms. The only exemptions to this cap would be granted to candidates who achieve a 2/3 super majority of the total voting interests and to associations that do not have enough eligible candidates to fill the board vacancies.
