Community Associations

Condominium & Homeowners Associations

At McCabe & Vaughn, P.A., we are very experienced in representing condominium and homeowners associations and management companies in all legal matters.  Condominium and homeowners associations are non-profit corporations made up of individual owners with property rights and community obligations.  These small business entities can face complex legal issues in conducting day-to-day business and may require close management to achieve the greatest benefit for all owners.

Considering the Florida real estate market, it is important to hire a law firm that understands the nuisances of the foreclosure market. We push mortgage holders (i.e. Banks) to take title to the property so that the condominium or homeowners association does not collect a mere fraction of its’ assessments. In short, the condo or homeowners association and its’ owners are not in the business of subsidizing the delinquent owners and mortgage holders alike.

More specifically, the attorneys at McCabe & Vaughn, P.A. can address, among others, the following issues regarding condominium and homeowners associations:

• Business and Management Issues
• Declaration, Bylaws, and Rules Review and Opinion Letters
• Vendor and Contract Concerns and Negotiations
• Covenant Enforcement
• Dissolution and Audits
• Delinquent Maintenance and Assessment Collections
• Foreclosures
• Dispute Resolution and Litigation

Additionally, we offer legal counsel to boards of directors and managers, and help to guide condominium and homeowners associations and through contract reviews and interpretation of relevant statutes and community documents that govern the association.  When an owner has abused common areas or otherwise infringed on other residents' rights, our attorneys are available to protect the rights of the community.  If an owner is delinquent in making prompt payment of maintenance or special assessments, we can commence collections activities or initiate foreclosure proceedings.

We work to defend the rights and enforce the obligations of the condominium and homeowners associations and their owners. Our attorneys provide legal counsel regarding Florida's association statutes, as well as the specific community's by-laws and rules.
