My Florida HOA Manager

The HOA is responsible for drawing up the covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) in planned communities. HOA members elect a board of directors to oversee collection of HOA dues, assess fines to noncompliant homeowners, and assure the communal areas stay well-maintained. But these residents typically are not involved in the day-to-day management tasks of the community. Instead, they hire a property management company to handle those nuts-and-bolts tasks that are so vital to a planned community’s or subdivision’s ongoing success.

The number one goal of any property management company is to keep everything running smoothly in the community. Their duties may also include keeping the community solvent by collecting HOA dues, fees, and fine, addressing residents’ concerns. enforcing HOA rules, arbitrating disputes among residents.

Property management companies also streamline the administrative tasks for their employees and the HOA board members. They create and maintain websites where residents access portals to pay dues and make other online payments. Property management companies manage online complaint forums, address problems with communal area maintenance, oversee disputes between residents, and assure the property is well-maintained at all times. In the best-run neighborhoods, this collaborative approach fosters a sense of community and common goals among the residents.
