HOA ombudsman in Florida?
A bill creating a state ombudsman for homeowner associations is expected to be introduced in the state Legislature in December.
It's the latest effort of the statewide Cyber Citizens for Justice Inc. to rein in homeowner association board authority and restore rights to residents.
The bill calls for a position similar to the condo ombudsman, implemented in the round of new condo and homeowner association laws that went into effect in June and October. The ombudsman is a neutral third party who solves disputes between condo owners and boards.
The homeowner association ombudsman would share an office with the condo ombudsman in Tallahassee. Homeowner association residents would pay $4 a year to fund the office, which is how the new condo ombudsman works.
