Property Management
A Florida HOA board wants to levy a special assessment of $5,000 per unit for major roof repairs. Under Chapter 720, F.S., a special assessment of this size typically requires:
AApproval by a simple majority of the board
BA membership vote if required by the association's governing documents✓ Correct
CState approval from the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation
DA licensed engineer's certification before the vote
Explanation
Chapter 720 F.S. requires that special assessments comply with the procedures in the association's governing documents (Declaration, By-Laws, Articles of Incorporation). Many HOA governing documents require a membership vote for special assessments above a certain amount. The board must follow its own governing documents and cannot unilaterally levy large special assessments without the required approval.
