- The covenants and restrictions be disclosed,
- The additional taxes and assessments with 10 years be disclosed,
- A reasonable estimate of first 3 years of taxes and assessments be given,
- The disclosure be given within 10 days of the date of the purchase contract,
- Violations to be punished by fines of $2,500 per violation,
- Violation fines to be capped at a maximum of $10,000,
- Developers shall submit an annual report,
- Failure to submit annual report will incur up to a $50,000 fine.
So, other than the fact that the POA supports this legislation, does anybody have any problems with any of the points above? They seem reasonable to me, but, maybe I am missing something? As I understand it, this would apply to the 200+ CDD's in FL, not just TV.
