Quote of the Day
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

The Florida House recently approved a bill aimed at limiting the power of homeowners associations, addressing concerns about their excessive authority.<\/p>\n

Sponsored by State Rep. Juan Porras, the bill seeks to streamline dispute resolution by creating a state-run court for HOA issues.<\/p>\n

It also proposes allowing residents to dissolve their HOAs with a super majority vote, which critics fear may place an additional burden on local governments.<\/p>\n

The bill faces a challenging path in the state Senate, where its companion legislation must pass for it to reach Gov. Ron DeSantis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Good morning, Tampa Bay.\u00a0Here’s what you need to know today.
