Section 720.306(1)(e) of the Florida Statutes recently amended to go into effect on July 1, 2018 requires that an amendment to any of the “governing documents” is effective when it is recorded.
The HOA statutes were amended a few years ago to define “governing documents” to include rules and regulations.
Thus, any rules promulgated by the Board going forward must be recorded which is a new rub to rulemaking and comes with a (albeit small) cost.
