WHERE DO HOMEOWNERS FILE COMPLAINTS AGAINST THEIR HOA IN FLORIDA? (How effective most of these entities are is unknown but wanted to paste it here.)
The venue for filing a Complaint against an HOA in Florida depends on the complaint.
For complaints concerning HOA fees, a homeowner can file a complaint with the Florida Office of Financial Regulation, the Federal Trade Commission, or the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, homeowners may also file in state or federal court within one year of the violation date.
If a homeowner feels they are a victim of housing discrimination, they can file a complaint with the Florida Commission on Human Relations, the U.S. Department of Urban Housing, or file a private lawsuit in Florida state or federal court.
Otherwise, a homeowner with any other complaints can bring a claim in state court in the appropriate county.
