Florida’s Marketable Record Title Act (MRTA), Chapter 712, Florida Statutes, extinguishes old covenants and restrictions after 30 years — unless these HOA governing docs are properly preserved.

Here’s the good news: fall pest control doesn’t have to be expensive or time-consuming. Small steps now can prevent larger (and more expensive) problems down the road. We always recommend a layered approach.

If you’ve been on a condominium board in Florida over the last few years, you know how intense compliance has been since the Surfside collapse in 2021. Laws rolled out quickly, reserve requirements became strict, and deadlines left boards scrambling to find money for safety mandates. Many owners were blindsided by huge assessments, and some communities even faced foreclosure threats. That’s where Florida’s new House Bill 913 comes in—it’s a reset button designed to keep buildings safe while giving boards and owners much-needed breathing room.

If you've ever served on an HOA or condominium board—or just watched one in action—you know it can feel like managing a tiny universe. Personalities, policies, budgets, landscaping drama… it's like The Avengers meets Robert’s Rules of Order.

Every Florida condo and HOA board knows the name—but not every board fully understands the weight behind it. The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) is the regulatory agency that governs how condominium associations operate, and their oversight is no joke. From improper board elections to financial mismanagement, small oversights can turn into costly compliance violations. The good news? Most issues are avoidable—with the right guidance.
