At its February 5 meeting, the Green Leaf HOA board of directors voted to adopt policies and procedures to be compliant with Florida Statute Chapters 617 and 720. These polices are in response to changes in FL law regarding HOA record keeping and the rights of homeowners to install hurricane- and storm-resistant improvements. Here are the approved policies:
- Item 1. All records of the association will be retained for a period of seven years.
- Item 2. Dwelling units may have improvements to protect against hurricanes and other severe storms by such measures as storm shutters, impact-resistant windows, reinforced doors, and generators. All improvements must be submitted to the association for approval and must adhere to the existing building scheme and harmony of the community regarding colors and styles.
- Item 3. Green Leaf HOA will fully comply with all requirements of Chapter 720 and consider any language in the current documents that conflicts with the Statute null and unenforceable.
