Q&A on enforcement committee from Florida Community Association Professionals Association 23 February 2023 Q&A
Q: I have been on two different association boards and always understood that while a board member could also serve on committees, the association president could not serve on a committee. I was told that Florida law changed and now presidents of homeowners’ associations can serve on committees. Is this correct? (J.B., via e-mail)
A: To my knowledge, neither the laws for condominium nor homeowners’ associations has ever prohibited a board president from serving on committees.
The only section of the Florida Homeowners’ Association Act that discusses committee membership limitations deals with committees that can approve formed to approve fines or suspensions. These committees must consist of members who are not officers, directors, or employees of the association, or the spouse, parent, child, brother or sister of an officer, director, or employee of the association.
The Florida Condominium Act likewise does not regulate committee membership, but does contain the same membership requirements for a fining committee.
