Fla. Stat. § 723.001 et seq. § 723.075
Homeowners’ associations.
Operative Text
(1) In order to exercise the rights of a homeowners’ association as provided in this chapter, the mobile home owners shall form an association in compliance with this section and ss. 723.077, 723.078, and 723.079, which shall be a corporation for profit or not for profit and of which not less than two-thirds of all of the mobile home owners within the park shall have consented, in writing, to become members or shareholders. Upon incorporation of the association, all consenting mobile home owners in the park may become members or shareholders. The term “member” or “shareholder” means a mobile home owner who consents to be bound by the articles of incorporation, bylaws, and policies of the incorporated homeowners’ association. The association may not have a member or shareholder who is not a bona fide owner of a mobile home located in the park. Upon incorporation and service of the notice described in s. 723.076, the association shall become the representative of all the mobile home owners in all matters relating to this chapter, regardless of whether the homeowner is a member of the association. (2) It is the intent of the Legislature that any homeowners’ association properly created pursuant to chapter 715 prior to the effective date of this act be deemed an association created pursuant to the provisions of this section and have all rights and powers granted under this section and ss. 723.077 and 723.079. Any inconsistency in the provisions of the charter of such previously created homeowners’ association shall be deemed amended to conform herewith. (3) Notwithstanding subsection (1), if a portion of the park contains concrete block homes occupying lots under 99-year leases, those homeowners may be part of the association and may serve on the board of directors of the association based on the percentage of lots containing concrete block homes to the total number of mobile home lots in the park.
Florida Statute § 723.075 establishes the requirements for forming a homeowners' association in a mobile home park. To exercise the collective rights granted under this chapter, at least two-thirds of all mobile home owners in the park must consent in writing to join, and the association must be incorporated as a for-profit or not-for-profit corporation. Once properly formed and after the required notice is served, the association legally represents all mobile home owners in the park on matters covered by this chapter — even those who are not members. Associations validly created under prior law are recognized as compliant, and certain concrete block homeowners on long-term leases may also participate.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Fla. Stat. § 723.075, once a homeowners' association is properly incorporated and the notice described in § 723.076 is served, park operators generally direct all chapter-related communications and negotiations to that association as the representative body for all residents. Compliant park management recognizes the association's standing regardless of individual homeowners' membership status. Operators also take note that residents in concrete block homes on 99-year leases may hold board positions proportional to their share of total lots, which can affect the composition of the association's leadership.

Fla. Stat. § 723.075 gives mobile home owners in a park the right to form a legally recognized association that represents all residents on matters covered by Florida's mobile home chapter, whether or not each individual owner joins. If at least two-thirds of owners in a park consent in writing, the association can be incorporated and will have the authority to act on behalf of the entire community. Residents who want to understand their rights within an existing or newly forming association — including eligibility to participate or serve on the board — may find guidance through tenant-rights organizations, Florida legal aid services, or by reviewing the association's articles of incorporation and bylaws.
