Many HOA owners and board members make the same expensive mistake, they run straight to court. In Florida, that’s often legally wrong. Under Florida Statute 720.311, most HOA disputes must go through alternative dispute resolution before a lawsuit can begin. Skip that step and your case could be delayed, dismissed, or cost far more than necessary. Knowing whether your dispute requires mediation, arbitration, or can go straight to court can save thousands in legal fees.
