Deed Restrictions & Records

This neighborhood's association is voluntary: joining and paying dues is optional, and it can't collect assessments or enforce rules the way a mandatory HOA can. Florida's HOA law, Chapter 720, covers associations whose membership is mandatory. Individual lots may still carry recorded deed restrictions, and local zoning and code rules apply.

  1. Check the title commitment for the property. It lists every recorded restriction on the lot.
  2. Search the county records by the subdivision name for its plat and any deed restrictions.

  3. Ask the association what membership costs and covers. Security patrols and events are common.
