Florida Statute 720.305 explained
Understand the Florida HOA fine process
Florida law describes a sequence for covered HOA fines: board action, written notice, a hearing before an independent committee, written findings, and a payment date when a fine is confirmed. This site translates that published sequence into plain English.

Direct answers
Is 14 days a deadline to file an appeal?
The published text describes at least 14 days’ written notice of the owner’s right to a hearing. It does not create the general 14-day homeowner appeal deadline claimed by many summaries.
Does the committee set the original fine?
No. The published text says the board levies the fine. The committee’s role is limited to confirming or rejecting it.
Does this site review individual notices?
No. The site accepts no dispute information or documents and gives no individual assessment.
