Community associations will issue violation notices for a variety of reasons such as a resident violating rules or a property needing exterior maintenance.
In most cases, the HOA will issue a courtesy notice which gives the owner or resident 2 to 4 weeks to correct the violation. This does depend on the community and also the type of violation.
For more serious matters like parking or things that could either damage the property or affect the health and safety of others, an association may skip the warning process and issue an immediate fine. In addition, the association may be able to initiate a repair if needed and issue a bill for the cost.
The most common violations include:
- Landscape and yard maintenance such as weeds, overgrown plants/grass, or trees touching houses.
- Holiday decorations that are put up too early, or not taken down soon enough. (Most associations allow decorations to be up 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after; but this does vary).
- Parking in the wrong stall, guests parking where they are not suppose to, or guests parking overnight without association approval.
- Using or storing BBQ grills on lanais/balconies (must buildings do not allow BBQ grills due to fire and safety concerns).
- Storing personal items outside and not in an approved storage container. Not every community allows a resident to store things outside. You will want to review your community House Rules which you can obtain through the HOA. If you don't have their contact information, contact one of our friendly team members and we can help provide you with their phone number.
