In Florida, the presence of an HOA has to be made and acknowledged at several points in the sale process, with he buyer signing off on their understanding and acceptance each time.
We had one of the original property owners decide he didn’t sign off and wanted no part of an HOA. He stopped paying the $200/year dues (yes, only $200 a year.) Five years later after we dismissed the foreclosure proceedings against his property, he ended up paying the HOA a total of almost $5,000 in fees, penalties and legal expenses. This was all because he decided he didn’t want to play by the rules. And the really sad thing is that he didn’t do anything to violate the covenants - he just quit paying his dues and refused to pay them from that point on. I guess he showed us a thing or two….
