Fla. Stat. § 723.001 et seq. § 723.0791
Mobile home cooperative homeowners’ associations; elections.
Operative Text
The provisions of s. 719.106(1)(b) notwithstanding, the election of board members in a mobile home cooperative homeowners’ association may be carried out in the manner provided for in the bylaws of the association. A mobile home cooperative is a residential cooperative consisting of real property to which 10 or more mobile homes are located or are affixed.
Florida Statute § 723.0791 establishes a special rule for mobile home cooperative homeowners' associations, allowing them to conduct board member elections according to their own bylaws rather than following the general cooperative election procedures set out in § 719.106(1)(b). The provision also defines a mobile home cooperative as a residential cooperative on real property where 10 or more mobile homes are located or affixed. This carve-out gives mobile home cooperatives greater flexibility in structuring their internal governance processes.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Fla. Stat. § 723.0791, operators and managers of mobile home cooperative homeowners' associations should ensure that their association's bylaws contain clear, detailed procedures for conducting board member elections, since those bylaws—rather than the default rules in § 719.106(1)(b)—govern the process. A compliant association typically reviews its bylaws periodically to confirm that election procedures are current, accessible to all members, and consistently followed. Associations that meet the statutory definition of 10 or more mobile homes on the property should confirm they qualify under this provision before relying on bylaw-based election procedures.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Residents of a mobile home cooperative covered by Fla. Stat. § 723.0791 have the right to participate in board elections conducted under the association's bylaws, and those bylaws serve as the governing document for how those elections are run. If a resident believes an election was not conducted in accordance with the association's bylaws, they may raise that concern with the association's board, review the dispute resolution options outlined in the bylaws or Florida law, or consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with mobile home cooperative governance. Understanding the specific election procedures in the association's bylaws is a key starting point for any resident seeking to engage with or challenge the board election process under this provision.
